Anchor Easy is a modern, user-friendly anchor watch app designed by sailors, for sailors. Whether you are spending a night in a quiet bay or mooring with lines ashore, our app provides a vital layer of safety by monitoring your boat's GPS position and alerting you instantly if you drift.

KEY FEATURES:

βš“ Easy & Fast Setup
Set your anchor in seconds. You can drop the anchor at your current GPS position with a single click, point-and-click to set it at a distance, or simply drag and drop the anchor icon on the map to match your exact location.

πŸ“‘ Remote Monitoring (Boat Groups)
Going ashore for dinner or a hike? Keep an eye on your vessel from anywhere! Anchor Easy allows you to link up to four devices in a "Boat Group." Leave one device on board, and receive position updates and instant alarm notifications on your personal phone while you are away. Note: Both devices require an internet connection.

πŸ”— Lines Ashore Mode
Not swinging freely? We have you covered. This specialized mode monitors not just your location, but your compass heading (bearing), making it perfect for situations where you are anchored with a stern line to shore or using a second anchor.

🚨 Comprehensive Alarm System
β€’ Drift Alarm: The core feature. Get alerted immediately if the boat moves outside your defined sway radius.
β€’ GPS Timeout Alarm: Be notified if your device stops receiving accurate location data, ensuring you aren't relying on stale information.
β€’ Battery Alarm: Receive a warning if the monitoring device’s battery drops below a critical threshold.


βš“ Anchor History
Found the perfect spot? The app automatically saves your previous anchor positions, allowing you to easily re-set your anchor in the exact same location on your next visit.


πŸ“‘ Connect to your boat's AIS / GPS
If your boat has a WIFI-enabled AIS or NMEA device, you can now connect to it and:
β€’ see nearby boats;
β€’ use the boat's GPS for your anchor watch.

πŸŒ™ Smart Display Modes
Choose from Light, Dark, or System Default themes. Our unique Auto-Night Mode switches to a dark interface at sunset and back to light at sunrise, preserving your night vision and reducing cabin light while you sleep.

Connect with noforeignland
Automatically update your boat's position on noforeignland when you start an anchor watch.

RELIABILITY & SYSTEM SETTINGS:

We have designed Anchor Easy to be as reliable as possible. However, Android battery optimizations can sometimes interfere with background GPS processing.

β€’ Keep Screen On: For devices with aggressive background throttling, we provide a "Keep Screen On" option. This ensures uninterrupted GPS tracking. When using this mode, we recommend keeping the device plugged into a power source.

Why Choose Anchor Easy?
β€’ Clean, modern interface optimized for ease of use.
β€’ Works for free-swinging anchoring and complex mooring setups.
β€’ Peace of mind for the captain and crew, both onboard and ashore.
