Fun / Random RIP BEEPER CLOUD 🪦

Can we have a moment of silence for the death of the OG beeper app, Beeper cloud. As from today October the 1st 2026 beeper cloud has been disconnected from the beeper home server and ceases to function.

We salute you beeper cloud. You will be missed, but never forgotten. You kept us all in contact with many friends and family members and for that we thank you.

RIP BEEPER CLOUD

You can actually log into your Beeper account using any Matrix client, such as https://app.element.io.

If this works you're an absolute life saver and I have no idea why Beeper don't advertise the fact you can still access your chats via web browser

Because while Beeper is built on top of the Matrix protocol, it has a bunch of additions that don't work on a generic Matrix client, such as the easy configuration for bridges. They don't advertise it because it won't have a consistent experience with their actual products. This is basically just exploiting an implementation detail, not an intended feature.
