Anchorwatch — an anchor watch that models the swing
A TestFlight app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch that monitors an anchored boat using depth, chain, GPS, wind, waves, and chart data.
Field notes
The app builds its monitoring boundary from entered depth, chain length, GPS-to-bow distance, and a safety margin rather than treating the boat as a point inside a generic radius. Its described workflow combines GPS-scatter filtering with post-set tracking, Open-Meteo wind and wave forecasts, and OpenSeaMap chart notes. Phone sirens, Apple Watch haptics, and a lock-screen Live Activity extend the alert surface, while the page says operational data remains on the devices.
