DriftPing turns any Android phone into an anchor alarm. It streams the position of your boat live to your personal portal, where you or your family can follow it from any second phone – no technical skills required.
Based on the open-source DriftPing app, extended with a live portal and a native Android service that keeps running with the screen off.
Configurable radius and sector alarm. Siren, vibration and a full-screen alert as soon as the boat drifts.
The boat phone streams position, anchor and alarm state. Follow it from shore, at home or from the tender.
Live sea chart, track history, alarm log, invoices and support tickets in one place – in your language.
The Android app keeps its GPS watch active with the screen off and reconnects on its own after an outage.
See how your boat swings over the night and spot a dragging anchor at a glance.
Every drift event is logged and can be sent to you and your crew as an e-mail.
No app store account, no configuration files, no technical know-how needed.
Choose how many phones or boats you want to cover. Pay once by card, PayPal or bank transfer.
In your portal you name your boat and get a personal pairing code.
Install the app, scan the code, tap "Set anchor". That is all.
Open the portal or the monitor app on any other phone and watch your boat live.
One payment per plan. All features included, updates included, no hidden costs.
For one boat and one phone on board.
Two boats, or one boat with a spare phone.
For small fleets, charter and boat sharing.
No. After the purchase you install the app on the boat phone and sign in there once with your DriftPing account. The app fetches your license itself, creates the boat and is ready to go – no QR code, no token.
Any Android phone from Android 5.1 upwards runs the app with a background service. On iPhones and in any browser the web app works while it is open on screen.
Yes. Every plan is a lifetime license for the given number of devices. You receive a proper invoice.
The alarm itself works offline on the phone. For live tracking on a second phone the boat phone needs a mobile data connection, a few kilobytes per minute are enough.
Yes. Buy another plan at any time, the devices are added to your account.
Positions are stored on this server only, protected by your personal device token. You can delete a device and its track at any time.
