Description

Anchor Pro tracks your location and alerts you if your anchored boat starts drifting. Relax while anchored and sleep better! You can also be alerted on a secondary phone.

SET THE ANCHOR
Anchor Pro allows you to set the anchor location directly as you are setting the anchor, or specify the location of the anchor later by providing distance and bearing to the anchor. More advanced users can also specify the coordinates of the anchor.

SPECIFY ALLOWED AREA
You can specify the allowed area to be a simple circle around the anchor location, or opt for a more advanced area by providing two different distances at specific angles.

MONITOR THE MOVEMENT
The application provides you with enough data to keep you on top of every movement of the boat. You can review all the data from the main screen or graphically check position on the map where you can also see how the boat moved around — perfect for analysis if the anchor is holding or dragging.

GET ALERTED WHEN NEEDED
The application allows monitoring of the position, GPS reception, and battery level. You can get alerted when any of those metrics reach certain thresholds.

REMOTE ALERTS
When you are not on a boat you can leave the phone there and get alerted in the event of an alarm. You can be alerted via instant message using a Telegram app or via an email message. With Telegram,​ you can also request the status of the application at any moment.

APPLE WATCH
You can use the Apple Watch app to always have distance, bearing and battery level available in real-time — from your wrist.

Love it

Great anchor alarm app that JUST WORKS!

When dropping the anchor I set it using the relative location setting (being, in our case, 11 m away from the helm at whatever the boat’s heading is) and, depending on how much rode we’ve put out, we set an allowed distance of typically about 20m more than the length of rode.

I normally set it on my iPhone which is usually close at hand but if we’re leaving the boat, I’ll also set it on my iPad which stays on the boat and that allows me to check the boat’s position and be notified if the anchor drags, as long as we have mobile phone or internet coverage. If we’re not in mobile range I will sometimes leave Starlink on so the remote facility works, if I am concerned about the anchor dragging.

Much better than my chartplotter anchor alarm

Love this app. Being able to set it using relative position is especially handy as it negates any error if the anchor doesn’t immediately set.

Anchor pro

Good app, but support is non existent. Have requested info re. Having a second device letting you know how things are going when you are not on the vessel, but never got a response.
