What CaptureBeacon can do

Useful now. Honest about what comes next.

These capabilities are described by the job they help a photographer finish. Working alpha features are real, but remain under controlled testing before outside adoption.

Available

Try the guided workflow preview

Understand the manager, photographer, field, participant, and delivery flow using invented information.

The preview is illustrative, not a product login. It cannot send messages, publish galleries, charge money, or store the sample activity.

Alpha testing

Create an isolated workspace

Accept an owner invitation, then configure a private workspace with branding, operating choices, members, and approved destinations.

New workspaces are owner-invited during the controlled alpha. Visiting the public site never creates product access.

Alpha testing

Use dedicated Manager and Field experiences

Plan and oversee work from the Manager app, then give the field team a focused mobile view for the exact event in front of them.

Both experiences can be installed. The operations center keeps current events and their next actions visible across the workflow.

Alpha testing

Plan different kinds of events

Build a repeatable plan for mass/candid coverage, portraits or photo booths, hybrid events, cleanups, runway work, galas, and other event types.

Templates provide a starting structure while the photographer or manager retains control of the final plan.

Alpha testing

Coordinate photographers and teams

Assign exact events, set call times, collect attendance responses, share final briefs, and keep replacement decisions visible.

Photographers receive role-limited access to their assigned work. Reminder and emergency workflows retain a delivery and decision record.

Alpha testing

Run the event from a phone or tablet

Use field checklists, Photo Hubs, arrivals, participant flow, camera-clock checks, capture windows, and help requests where the work happens.

Offline-aware timing and ordered synchronization are under controlled multi-device verification. Field tools include exact-event help and approved contact paths.

Alpha testing

Manage the file and gallery handoff

Track RAW receipt, photographer edits, finished JPEGs, corrections, approval, external gallery publication, and follow-up.

CaptureBeacon stores milestones and approved links—not photograph files. Pixieset, Dropbox, or another selected provider holds the files.

Alpha testing

Close the event with useful history

Preserve status, counts, dates, assignments, delivery evidence, exports, archive records, and recovery information.

Export safety, recovery, audit continuity, and duplicate-prevention checks are part of the release gate.

In development

Operate separate organizations safely

Keep each workspace’s identity, people, events, permissions, destinations, and reporting history isolated.

Invitation gating, exact-event access, support approval, and authorization controls exist. Broader rollout remains controlled while isolation and migration evidence are verified.

Planned

Choose paid, sponsored, or pilot access

Use a future monthly, annual, per-event, organization, nonprofit, or pilot access model.

No prices or payments are active. Terms, fees, tax review, and Foundation financial impact require human approval first.

Status guide: Available works on this public website. Alpha testing means working software under controlled verification. In development is not ready for use. Planned has not been activated.
