Anchor alarm & Anchor spots

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad

Reliable anchor alarm with 12-hour anchor weather, structured chart view and integrated onboard chat – runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac. The anchor alarm for skippers and crew. This app combines an anchor alarm with anchor management in a simple and intuitive solution for recreational boats. Hi! I’m Frank – sailor, developer, and technology enthusiast. For over 25 years, I’ve spent my time both on the water and in front of a screen. From this experience, an anchor alarm was created that truly supports skippers and crews in everyday use – reliable, clear, and without unnecessary complexity. The idea: a practical app for recreational boats that helps you keep track of your anchorages and increases safety on board. No overloaded feature set, no complicated menus – just what you really need when anchoring. The anchor alarm supports you during your anchoring experience: • Safe nights at anchor: The anchor alarm monitors your position and reliably warns you in case of drift. • Mirror mode: Monitor the anchor alarm simultaneously on multiple devices. • Apple Watch app: Anchor status and alarms directly on your wrist. • Live status: Active anchor alarm visible on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Save and manage anchorages: With additional information such as water depth or special experiences. • Rate, share, and discover anchorages: Exchange experiences with other skippers. Let’s make anchoring safer and smarter together. Thank you for taking a look at my anchor alarm – I wish you many safe and unforgettable moments on the water!

New: The Apple Watch app has been specifically optimized, particularly in terms of display and foreground behavior, so monitoring works more reliably and consistently in critical situations. The internal logic has also been further refined to ensure seamless interaction between iPhone and Watch. The previously introduced Anchor Weather with 12-hour forecast on iPhone remains fully integrated and supports a clear and structured assessment of conditions at the anchorage. The update also includes minor improvements to stability and performance.
