Breadcrumbs Mobile
Track, share, and stay found
Free · In‑App Purchases
Turn your iPhone into a satellite tracker, weather station, and emergency beacon—no extra hardware, no ads. Auto-track trips, share a live map, check aviation weather.
Breadcrumbs turns your iPhone into a personal location tracker, weather station, and emergency communicator—powered by T-Mobile T-Satellite*, so it works far beyond cellular coverage. No extra device to buy, charge, or learn.
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)
• Status buttons — OK, Help, SOS, plus two you can name yourself
• Background auto-tracking at your chosen interval
• Satellite-aware messaging when cellular drops
• 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
• SMS satellite fallback for auto-tracking off-grid
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 is not a dedicated safety or emergency device and should not be relied upon as your sole means of emergency communication. Always carry appropriate backup for remote travel.
* Breadcrumbs will work with future satellite networks, as they become available. Alas, it will not work with Apple Satellite or via Apple SOS.
