How to use:
1. Download and open the app, then allow Location and Notifications so alerts can work reliably in the background.
2. After you drop the anchor, tap Set Anchor to mark the anchor point on the map.
3. Choose a safe radius based on your anchor chain or rode length and conditions, then start Anchor Watch.
4. Keep the app running or in the background; if your boat moves beyond the set radius, you will receive an audible alert and a notification. Acknowledge the alarm, check your position, and reset if needed.
5. Customize advanced options: adjust alert types and sensitivity, enable night-friendly display, review your movement track, and save notes to your log. Reset or move the anchor point whenever you re-anchor.
