Giving friends custom text buzzes based on Morse code
Tired of not knowing who's texting when his phone buzzes in his pocket, the author manually created custom vibration patterns for about 25 contacts. Each pattern encodes the person's initials in Morse code, recorded via iPhone's Create New Vibration. A Claude artifact helped generate the beat sequences, and the whole process took 45 minutes.
Because I wanted to be systematic, I gave each person text tones based on the Morse Code of their initials.

LLMs are surprisingly good at reading Morse code. Some time ago I pranked my flatmate. I installed a wifi switch in the wall and then wrote a script to convert text to Morse code and send the code with a slight delay through his lamp. I also built a website to do some legend-building to make him believe a ghost is haunting our apartment. He sent a video of the flickering lamp to chatGPT and it correctly deciphered it. We had a good laugh when I revealed the prank to him.

I love this feature - I have separate vibration patterns for my wife and my girlfriend, so I can easily tell if a text is from an important person without taking it out of my pocket (and I refuse to wear a watch)
Your idea sounds cool, but then I’d have to learn Morse code which doesn’t sound fun to me

I publish CBC and BBC News Feeds in Morse Code in various speeds if you're looking for another way to learn Morse Code.
