Breadcrumbs Mobile

Turn your iPhone into a satellite tracker, weather station, messenger, and beacon —no extra hardware, no ads. Core is free, Pro is free for one week - try it out!

Breadcrumbs turns your iPhone into a personal location tracker, weather station, and emergency communicator - optimized for satellite (currently only T-Mobile T-Satellite*), so it works far beyond cellular coverage. No extra hardware. No ads. No learning curve. No charges for Core features.

WHO IT'S FOR • Pilots — aviation weather at your fingertips: METARs, TAFs, winds aloft, and PIREPs • Off-roaders & overlanders — auto-track your route and let your people know you made it through • Boaters — jet boats, sailboats, and kayaks out of cell range • Field researchers — configurable intervals, long-term track storage, and data export

CORE FEATURES (FREE) • No ads — your location is yours, never sold or used for advertising​ • Status buttons — OK, Help, SOS, plus two you can name yourself • Background auto-tracking at your chosen interval • Satellite-aware messaging even outside cellular coverage and in the backcountry • Follow-along map — share a live link so others can track your progress and help if needed • Interactive map history of your recent tracks • Sign in with Apple — no passwords, no accounts to create

PRO • Weather & winds — local forecasts and severe-weather alerts, plus aviation METARs, TAFs, PIREPs, and winds aloft • 1-minute tracking intervals for detailed logs • Full track history with rename, delete, and per-track sharing • Track export — GPX and CSV • Unique SMS satellite fallback for auto-tracking in weak cellular areas (outside satellite areas)

STAY CONNECTED, EFFORTLESSLY Tap a status button and the people you choose get a message with a link to follow your live map—so they always know where you are and can send help if they need to. Auto-tracking runs in the background, so safety doesn't ask anything of you.

REQUIREMENTS • iPhone or iPad running iOS 26 or later • Cellular service • Satellite direct-to-cell feature enabled on your cellular plan (optional, for use beyond cell tower range) • As of June 2026, only T-Mobile has a direct-to-cell network. Verizon is coming. Apple satellite does not support this app for now.

• Breadcrumbs will work with future satellite networks, as they become available. Alas, it will not work with Apple Satellite or via Apple SOS.
