Presence & Autoresponders for the Off-Grid Traveler
Outpost gently handles incoming messages while your phone is powered off in a backpack, locker, or backcountry cabin. Connect personal and public channels without leaving contacts hanging or risking account bans.
How Outpost Works
Four thoughtful steps from packing your gear to turning your phone back on.
Connect Your Channels
Pair personal WhatsApp or Signal via a quick camera QR scan, or connect Telegram, LINE, Instagram Direct, or Facebook Messenger via official cloud APIs. Runs quietly in the cloud while your phone stays powered down.
Open Channels →Schedule an Off-Grid Trip
Set your departure and return timestamps in UTC. Outpost enforces a single active trip invariant so contacts always receive consistent return estimates. Rules only activate while your trip is underway.
Schedule Trip →Set Rules & Return Windows
Choose who gets an auto-reply and what it says. Use {{return_time}} to share coarse windows (e.g. 'Friday afternoon') rather than rigid minutes. Natural 2–8s delays sound like a thoughtful person.
Share Presence & Power Off
Share your read-only public status link (/p/<token>) with loved ones. Copy carrier call-forwarding codes, switch off your phone, and pack it in your backpack with total peace of mind.

Field Guarantees & Privacy Architecture
Zero Ban Risk Architecture
We use official WhatsApp Web Companion pairing (Baileys/WAHA), Signal secondary device protocol, and official Meta/Telegram/LINE APIs. We never use reverse-engineered Android APKs or unofficial private hooks that trigger platform spam detection.
Ephemeral In-Memory Processing
Message bodies are never stored in our database. In-flight messages are evaluated in memory and discarded. Activity logs strictly mask message previews to 40 characters for your private diagnostic inspection.
Coarse Return Windows
Communicating exact return minutes creates anxiety if trail descents or flights are delayed by an hour. Coarse estimates ('Friday afternoon') provide breathing room and prevent loved ones from panicking.
Emergency Keyword Escalation
When an incoming message contains urgent keywords ('URGENT' or 'EMERGENCY'), Outpost bypasses contact cooldowns and can immediately dispatch an alert to your emergency contact or secondary channel.
