After cruising the Caribbean for 3+ years and anchoring for many hundreds of nights - I have tried many of the available anchor alarms. They are all missing something, and I've decided to start building my own.

I want an anchor alarm that runs on a small GPS tracker on the boat, not your phone. So you can dinghy to shore and still get drag alerts by app/email/whatsapp. Web dashboard + iOS/Android app. My big assumptions are you must have wifi on the boat and you must have some USB type power source available.

What's in so far:

• One-tap "Set Anchor Here" (or tap/drag the pin on the map)
• Chain out = your alarm radius
• Live swing track, visible from anywhere
• AI-suggested drop point from your GPS track
• whatsapp/email to any contacts you list if it triggers
• Anchor watch + dock watch modes

What do you actually rely on in your current anchor alarm? What's missing from Anchor Pro / Aqua Map / Ankeralarm / etc. that would make you switch? What annoys you?

Appreciate any feedback.
