Hencob Sentinel Update 3: looking for the first beta testers

Quick update on Hencob Sentinel, the Android app I've been building to block scam and robocalls.

Since the last update I've gotten the core loop working end to end: local call screening on-device, a growing scam-number report database, account auth with email verification, and a lookup flow that cross-references incoming numbers against the FTC's Do Not Call/complaint data plus user reports. I also wired up the paid tier — Stripe checkout is live, and Plus subscribers get background blocklist syncing so the app stays current without opening it.

The private beta signup portal (magic-link, no password) is live too, feeding two email lists — general waitlist and beta testers — so I can actually communicate with people once they're in.

What's missing right now: testers. Zero so far. That's the point of this post.

If you're on Android and scam calls annoy you, I'd love to get you into the closed beta — it takes two minutes to sign up, and I'm looking for people who'll actually poke at it and tell me what's broken, not just install and forget. First real feedback loop starts now.

Thank you for reading!
