SQUAWK! is a Progressive Web App combining family safety communication with a rich gaming and reward ecosystem. Use the sidebar to explore every feature, game, currency, and system.
Safety Features
The core of SQUAWK! — keeping families connected and safe through one-tap communication tools.
The green SAFE button lets your nest know you are okay with a single tap. Send a quick "I'm safe" check-in to everyone in your nest — great for after school, arriving home, or just letting family know you are fine.
Safe check-ins appear in the Viewport Stream with a timestamp so your nest can see exactly when you checked in. Each Safe action also earns reward currency.
Beakin is the emergency alert system — the heart of SQUAWK! Tap the red BEAKIN button to instantly notify your nest members of your GPS location. They will see exactly where you are on a map and can come help.
Location is shared only when you choose to send an alert — SQUAWK! never tracks you in the background.
Huddle is for planning meetups. Set a location by typing an address or using GPS, and notify your nest. Everyone can see where to meet on a shared map. Perfect for "meet me at the park" or "I'm at the grocery store."
Request Check-In lets you ping a nest member and ask them to confirm they are safe. The recipient gets a notification prompting them to respond. Provides peace of mind when someone has not checked in for a while.
Tap the SQUAWK button to send a quick broadcast message to your entire nest. Squawk messages appear in the bottom ticker and the Viewport Stream, ensuring everyone sees it.
Nests
Your family or friend group — the foundation of all shared features.
A Nest is your family or friend group in SQUAWK! Create a nest and invite others with your unique 6-character code, or join an existing nest. Nest members can see each other's safety status, send messages, share photos, create polls, and more.
Get the 6-character nest code from someone already in the nest. Tap Join Nest and enter the code, or scan their QR code with your camera. Once approved, you are part of the family.
Nest creators have admin privileges including managing members, setting the nest name and image, and posting admin ticker messages in the top ticker bar. Admins can moderate content and manage settings through the hamburger menu.
Nest Messaging
Private messaging between nest members with upgradeable limits.
Send private messages to individual nest members with real-time delivery via Firebase. Each user has configurable limits on character count, daily sends, max unread messages, and unread storage time.
Default limits can be increased by purchasing upgrades in The Roost using Squawk Gems.
| Upgrade | Increment | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Character Limit | +1,000 characters | 1,000 Squawk Gems |
| Daily Send Limit | +10 messages/day | 1,000 Squawk Gems |
| Max Unread | +5 messages | 1,000 Squawk Gems |
| Storage Time | +48 hours | 1,000 Squawk Gems |
All upgrades are stackable — purchase multiple times to keep increasing limits.
Photo Stream
A 24-hour rolling social history shared across your nest.
The Viewport is the circular photo area on your main screen. Tap it to take a photo and share with your nest. Recent photos appear in the Viewport Stream — a 24-hour rolling feed displayed as Polaroid-style cards (image + caption).
Safe check-ins, Squawk messages, and photos all flow through the stream, giving your nest a real-time activity feed. Entries expire after 24 hours.
Polling
Get your nest's opinion on anything.
Tap the Polling Station (hosted by Polly the Parrot) to create a new poll or vote on existing ones. Great for dinner, movie night, weekend plans, or any group decision.
The simultaneous poll limit can be increased with the Poll Creation Upgrade in The Roost (200 Squawk Gems per additional simultaneous poll, stackable).
Reward Currency
SQUAWK! operates a multi-currency ecosystem spanning in-app tokens, game-specific currencies, and blockchain assets.
Golden Eggs are the base currency of the entire SQUAWK! ecosystem. Earned through gameplay, check-ins, achievements, and spin wheel prizes.
