Area Watcher. Cover more ground.
When someone goes missing, every minute counts, and volunteers often search the same ground twice while other areas go unchecked. Area Watcher shows where you and other searchers have already been, so your search covers new ground.

How it works
See where others searched
Search leads see paths that other searchers chose to share, and hexagons show how many people have covered each area.
Find the gaps
Instead of walking the same trail twice, teams head for the ground nobody has covered yet.
Private by design
- Nothing you record is shared until you turn sharing on, and you choose how long after a search it appears.
- Mark home, work and other private places on your phone; paths are trimmed there before they leave it.
- No ads, no tracking, no selling of your data. Delete your account and data at any time in the app.

Plans
Area Watcher is a subscription app with three plans, monthly or yearly: Searcher for recording and reviewing your own searches, and Search Lead and Command, which add other searchers' shared paths for coordinating a team. Prices are shown in the App Store.
