OmniTAK — ATAK-Style Tactical Awareness for iOS
OmniTAK brings the power and familiarity of ATAK to your iPhone and iPad. Built with a high-performance Rust core and native iOS interface, OmniTAK delivers real-time situational awareness with the tactical UI that operators know and trust.
Whether you're coordinating search and rescue, managing field teams, supporting emergency response, or training for tactical scenarios, OmniTAK provides blue force tracking, collaborative mapping, and secure communications—without being locked into a single server or network.
ATAK-FAMILIAR INTERFACE
OmniTAK mirrors the ATAK experience that millions of operators have trained on. The professional tactical theme, navigation drawer, bottom toolbar, and status bar feel immediately familiar. If you know ATAK, you know OmniTAK.
Satellite, hybrid, and standard map views powered by native MapKit deliver smooth performance. Color-coded CoT markers display friendly, hostile, unknown, and neutral units in real-time.
MULTI-SERVER ARCHITECTURE
OmniTAK was built for multi-agency coordination and federated networks.
Configure unlimited TAK server connections. Monitor connection status in real-time. Bridge jurisdictions during disaster response, maintain redundant connectivity, or aggregate feeds from multiple command posts—OmniTAK connects you to every network that matters.
Supports TCP and UDP with optional TLS encryption.
SECURE CERTIFICATE MANAGEMENT
OmniTAK stores all client certificates in the iOS Keychain with hardware-backed protection. Import from .pem, .crt, .key, .p12, and .pfx files, or enroll directly from your TAK server using username/password authentication.
View certificates with validity status and expiration tracking. Full mutual TLS authentication keeps your tactical data encrypted end-to-end.
TACTICAL TOOLS
Draw circles and polygons to mark areas of interest, search zones, or operational boundaries. All drawings persist across sessions with high-visibility tactical colors.
Broadcast your position with configurable metadata. Filter units by affiliation for cleaner operational pictures. Navigate with bearing and distance tools built for tactical operations.
EXTENSIBLE PLUGIN SYSTEM
OmniTAK features a secure plugin architecture for extending functionality. Plugins run in sandboxed contexts with permission-based API access. Create custom CoT handlers, map overlays, UI components, and network integrations.
INTEROPERABILITY
Works with TAK Server, FreeTAKServer, Taky, OpenTAKServer, and any CoT-compatible infrastructure. Full interoperability with ATAK, WinTAK, iTAK, and WebTAK clients.

Drawing and markers
- Edit placed shapes on both the 2D map and 3D globe: drag to reposition, move individual vertices, and resize circle radius.
- Full drawing on the 3D globe, with create, select, edit, and delete plus live feedback as you draw.
- Your own marker now supports tap-to-select, a heading arrow, and a custom icon, and your heading is shared over CoT.
- Lasso select grabs any line or polygon it crosses or overlaps, not only ones centered inside the loop.
Connecting to TAK servers
- Scan a TAK or ATAK enrollment QR code to connect, with no manual server entry.
Drone and UAS
- Live drone video over UDP (H.264) in a picture-in-picture window pinned above the map.
Icons and symbology
- Import custom ATAK icon set packs and use them across your markers.
- Larger bundled TAK icon suite.
Maps and orientation
- North-up lock and a corner compass that rotates with the map. Tap it to snap back to north.
- Keep-screen-on now holds the display awake during an operation.
- Switching between 2D and 3D is smoother, with the 3D camera starting from your current 2D view.
Overlays and coordinates
- KML points now show as labeled yellow pushpins.
- The coordinate readout has a red frame, matching ATAK.
Chat
- Dropped markers no longer clutter your contact list, and stale participants are cleared automatically.
