AnchorWard Alarm

Real-time anchor watch with alarms (GPS)

Features & Capabilities

AnchorWard is a real-time anchor watch and anchor alarm app that monitors your boat's GPS position relative to your dropped anchor and alerts you if you drift outside a defined safe zone.

WORKS IN THE BACKGROUND:
AnchorWard uses a persistent foreground service and heartbeat system to keep monitoring active even when your screen is off or the app is in the background. Designed for reliability — if the app is unexpectedly closed during monitoring, a watchdog alert notifies you immediately.

SAFETY FIRST:
- Fail-safe alarm logic: when in doubt, the alarm triggers
- GPS signal quality monitoring with low/critical alerts
- Battery monitoring with warnings
- Multiple alarm fallbacks: local sound + vibration + notification + remote channels
- Works entirely offline — no internet required for core monitoring

PRO FEATURES:
Upgrade to AnchorWard Pro for the full experience:
- Anchor history with search and filters
- Sector and polygon zones
- Remote alerts (Telegram/Email)
- Wind and tide overlays
- Compass-based anchor setting
- Drift playback and heatmap
- Session export (GPX/CSV)
