CREW SAFETY & LOCATION COORDINATION

Keep your crew connected when you can’t stay together.

STALKR is a crew safety and location coordination app for small crews who spend the day apart — field crews and people working alone, guides and outfitters, hunting parties, hikers, families. It exists to answer three questions: who is accounted for, where help may be needed, and who has missed a check-in. Live Crew location, check-in timers, SOS and Zones are what answer them.

01

Who is accounted for

Every member reads as live, stale, unknown, or Dark. A position that has aged is labelled as old rather than drawn as current, so nobody plans around a two-hour-old dot.

02

Where help may be needed

SOS incidents, Zone crossings and shared markers land on the same Crew map, carrying the last position of whoever raised them.

03

Who has missed a check-in

An armed check-in that goes unacknowledged escalates by push and email to the Crew and the recipients you chose. Nothing else has to be noticed by a person first.

LIVE CREW LOCATION

Everyone on one map, per crew

A Crew is a persistent group and its own sharing scope. Go Live and your position, direction, accuracy and battery publish to that Crew — not to every group you belong to, and not to anyone outside it. Members show their recent trail so you can see which way somebody was heading, and presence degrades honestly: live, then stale, then unknown. How Crews work, or see the same thing as a group location sharing app.

CHECK-INS & MISSED CHECK-IN ALERTS

Someone notices when you don’t answer

Arm a one-time check-in before a task, or a repeating dead-man switch for a shift alone. Acknowledge it and nothing happens. Miss it and STALKR escalates to your Crew and the recipients you picked, by push and email. It never sends an SMS and it never contacts emergency services — the people who know where you were going are the ones who get told. Read how the check-in safety app works, or the longer form of the dead-man switch.

Heading somewhere specific instead? A Journey shares a live route and an expected arrival with watchers who need no app, and safe-arrival alerts close it out when you get there. Overdue escalation runs on scheduled server functions and push delivery, so it is an aid, not an instant or guaranteed one.

SOS

One deliberate hold, scoped to your crew

Press and hold on the map to raise an SOS. It creates an incident, alerts your active Crew with your position, and opens a pre-filled message you send yourself to whoever you choose. It is deliberately hard to fire by accident and cancellable before it completes. It does not contact public emergency services, and if the network request fails the app tells you the Crew may not have received it. How SOS behaves, step by step.

ZONES

Alerts on the ground that matters

Draw a circle or a polygon around a job site, a landing, a stand, a trailhead or a boundary, and the Crew can be alerted when a member enters it or leaves it. Zones carry their own visibility settings, so a Zone only some members should see is only drawn for them. Enter and leave are the two transitions — there is no dwell or overstay alert, and hiding the Zones layer changes the drawing, not the monitoring. Create and tune a Zone.

SAFETY HISTORY

A record of the day, not a memory of it

Crew events, Zone crossings, arrivals, check-ins and SOS incidents all land in one activity record you can read afterwards — who did what, when, and where. That is the half that matters the morning after an incident, when somebody asks what actually happened. Push delivery depends on notification permission and connectivity, and iOS can suppress an alert; the activity record is kept either way. Manage what alerts you.

PRIVACY

Safety monitoring that isn’t surveillance

This is the part that makes STALKR usable on a crew of people who work for you. Sharing is per Crew and starts only when a member goes Live. Dark stops their updates to that Crew. Approximate location publishes an area instead of a point. A Journey watch link is a capability that ends with the Journey. The one exception is deliberate and visible before anyone joins: a Crew can turn on Tracking Enforced, and while it is on, members of that Crew cannot go Dark. Who can see your location, and how that compares to a Life360 alternative.

LIMITS, STATED UP FRONT

What STALKR does not do

Everything above is what the beta build does today. This is the other half. If one of these is the thing you came for, STALKR is the wrong tool, and that is better to know here than in the field.

MARKERS, CHECKPOINTS & TRACKS

Mark what the crew needs to find again.

Access points, hazards, parked vehicles, water, a gate that needs a code, a camp, animal sign. Drop it once with a photo and everyone in the Crew has it. Record a track while you work or walk, add checkpoints along it, and save it as a route to reuse. Place your first marker.

FIND YOUR USE CASE

Same app, different reason to run it

The mechanism does not change when the crew does. Working alone or splitting a job site? Start with the lone worker safety app, then the two mechanisms underneath it — the check-in safety app and the dead-man switch. Out in the field? Outdoor tracking and hunting crew safety. Sharing with people at home? Family safety, location sharing for couples, or just the best location sharing app for everyday use.

PRIVATE BETA · IPHONE

Put it on your crew.

STALKR runs as an iOS TestFlight beta today. Open it now on an iPhone, or leave your email and we will send the testing link plus install instructions to the phone you will actually carry.
