About this app

Anchor Alarm - The anchor guard for your boat
Get alerted as soon as your ship aborts.

Set the radius and click on Start to start the anchor alarm.
As soon as your ship leaves the radius, your device alerts you with an unmistakable alarm tone.
In addition, you can move the monitored area and correct it to the nearest meter.
The location history of the boat is recorded and can be seen from the small points.

With our remote monitoring feature, you can connect two devices together.
The sender remains on the boat while you are on land.
As soon as the sender leaves the area you will be alerted on the way.
(stable internet connection required)

With our anchorage search, you can search for anchorages in your area where other crews have anchored before. Try this module for free for 3 days!

I put the free version on my android phone just to test it and when I click start the phone repeatedly makes a notification sound every few seconds. I've tried all sorts of things in an effort to stop it. I've disabled battery optimization while using the app and nothing I've tried seems to work.

Hello, please check in the notification settings of the app that "General app notifications" are muted or sound disabled. We update the notification content every few seconds to show the current drift distance and accuracy. The "Alarm with loud sound" notification category is where alarms are sent, so this must not be muted or disabled

Simple but effective. I would like. To see it optimized for a horizontal screen though. Then it would be just about perfect.

I like the simplicity, but it only works when you leave your phone unlocked and on, which is impossible. Tested many times. Problem is Android 10 and higher defaults to use location "when the app is open" and won't offer "all the time" until the app asks for the service (other apps, like Boating by Garmin sorted this issue, I'm sure you can, too). Willing to try again once solved. I trusted the app and drifted 100m without alarm. I now bought a better anchor. Next up is a better anchor alarm :)

Hello, please make sure you disabled any battery optimizations on your device. See the link in our FAQ for manufacturer specific settings: https://ankeralarm.app/en/faq We don't use "all the time" permission because of privacy and instead start a foreground service (ongoing notification) to get location access while the app is in the background.
