About this app
Spotwire tells the people you choose that you have arrived somewhere, without you having to remember to message them.
PLEASE READ FIRST: SPOTWIRE NEEDS A GATEWAY DEVICE
Spotwire does not send SMS from your phone's own SIM card. It queues each message for a TTGO T-Call GSM device.
HOW ARRIVAL ALERTS WORK
Save a place: your home, your office, a hostel, a friend's house. Give it a position on the map and capture the WiFi networks you can hear while standing there. From then on, arriving at that place sends a short message to the people you picked, naming the place and the time you got there.
Two signals work together, which is what makes it both reliable and cheap on battery:
- Android watches the circle you drew around the place and wakes Spotwire the moment you cross into it. Between arrivals the app is not running at all.
- The WiFi networks you saved at that place then confirm you are genuinely there before anything is sent, so walking past the building does not fire a message.
You decide how close you have to be, how long you must settle before an alert goes out, and the hours during which a place stays quiet.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Send an SMS by hand, and watch its delivery status
- Save any number of places, each with its own message and its own recipients
- Choose who is told: a default guardian, per place contacts, or linked accounts
- Send arrival messages over WhatsApp as well if you connect a gateway
- Let someone you have linked with ask where you are, and answer with a place name only
- Read a 72 hour log of every check the app made, what it heard and what it decided, and export it to a file when something needs explaining
- Test detection where you are standing, and see exactly why an alert would or would not be sent
ABOUT LOCATION
Spotwire asks for all-the-time location because a geofence has to be able to wake the app when it is closed. That is the only reason. The app does not follow your route, does not record where you are between the places you saved, and does not build a history of your movements. The people you alert are told the name of the place and the time, never a map position and never a WiFi network name.
If you decline all-the-time location, arrival detection still works by scanning for your saved WiFi networks instead. It simply uses more battery.
PRIVACY
There is no advertising in Spotwire, no analytics, and no third-party tracking software of any kind. The app does not read your contacts, your SMS inbox, or your call log, and it holds no permission that would let it. Your data is not sold or shared with anyone.
You can delete your account and everything stored with it from inside the app, under Profile.

WHAT SPOTWIRE IS NOT
It is not a tracker. It cannot show you where anybody else is. It reports your own arrivals, at places you saved yourself, to people you chose yourself, and you can switch the whole thing off at any time.

What’s new
Save a place, and the people you choose are told when you arrive there. Detection uses the place's map circle to wake the app and its WiFi networks to confirm you are really there, so it stays accurate without draining the battery.
You can also send a message by hand through the gateway, see its delivery status, and check a log of exactly what the app decided and why.
