Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Roger, the developer behind Call Box Helper.
I built this after living on both sides of the call box problem.
As a customer service rep at a delivery company, I spent hours
every day handling frustrated customers whose packages couldn't get
through a gate because nobody answered the call box. Then I
moved into an apartment complex with a call box and started
experiencing that exact frustration myself.
So I built the fix.
Call Box Helper automatically answers your call box, sends the unlock
tone, and opens your gate, without you ever touching your phone. It
works on silent, Do Not Disturb, and while your screen is off.
What makes it different from other call box apps: no virtual phone
number required. Every competitor I've found asks you to get a new
number and update it with your building manager. Call Box Helper works
with your existing number, no landlord permission needed, no building
directory changes.
Currently in beta on Android. Beta testers get the app free for life.
Happy to answer any questions about how it works, the tech behind it,
or anything else. Would love your feedback!
Would love to see a way to whitelist specific numbers or time windows so it only buzzes people in during business hours, otherwise random visitors at 2am could just ring through.
