What Viper does.

The Beep is the atomic unit of Viper. Hold the button and the system fires a prioritized tactile alert to the friends you pick — one, several, or your core squad.

It's deliberately different from a message. It doesn't push text, it pushes intent: I'm down, who's in? If nobody responds in 30 seconds, the Beep cancels itself. If somebody says they're in, the chat opens with you already inside.

And because it's a physical gesture, not a text, it doesn't create reply anxiety. If your friend isn't around, they aren't around. No blue double-check judging you.

The chat lives as long as you use it. If no one writes for 1 hour, it closes itself and drops into your history — no more pings, no infinite scroll piling up for months. Every message resets the clock.

Ephemerality isn't a hidden feature: it's the rule. The room stays open while you're talking — it closes when you go quiet.

Want permanence? Communities have channels that live forever. But chats are chats: a moment that passes.

Communities are Viper's persistent mode: with channels, members, and admins. For clans that need a fixed spot to post events, or larger squads that coordinate weekly scrims.

But nothing forces you in. If your usage is 100% Beep + temporary chat, you can stay that way forever. Invites are explicit — there's no aggressive public discovery.

You're asleep. Your survival base is getting raided. Your squad needs to reach you no matter what. Right now every Beep respects your silent mode — good for daily life. But we want a Beep that breaks the receiver's silence, similar to Find My Phone.

The difference: only people you added to an allowlist can send it. You decide who can wake you up and who can't — per friend, per community. Strict cooldown: max one critical Beep per hour per user pair.

Your core squad is the 3 to 5 friends you tagged as such. When you play anything with any of them, it adds a day to the streak. The streak breaks after 48 hours without a shared session — one forgiven day if you come back fast.

No global leaderboard. You're not racing strangers. The metric is you vs you: how many days in a row you played with the people who matter.

When you build a Beep, you pick an activity. The picker opens an autocomplete with a 500,000-title catalog: real cover art, real genres, real platforms.

For non-gaming activities there are native options: chatting, coding, studying, watching shows, listening to music, just chatting. Viper isn't only gaming. And you can always leave the field open and type whatever.

Viper doesn't use third-party tracking SDKs. No social pixels, no session recording. Internal analytics is first-party and always aggregated — never individual, never tied to your identity.

Deleting your account is a button. It wipes everything (profile, archived messages, presence history) in 30 days. No support-side recovery: if you decided to leave, you actually left.

Your temporary chats don't sync to external backups. They live exactly the time they're meant to.

Viper Pro: cosmetic and power-user. Rich profiles, linked accounts, pinned clips, alternative themes. Zero feature-gating on communication — Pro is aesthetic, not access.

Critical Beep for nighttime silence. Sub-channels per topic inside text channels. Custom roles and perms for your community. Squad streaks 🔥. Optional ready-to-play with region and rank filters.

And eventually: native desktop app for Windows and Mac, faster Android releases via our own auto-update. Open slot for whatever the beta keeps asking us.
