About
Before a hike, a climb or a backcountry trip, most of us tell someone the plan. Farwatch makes sure they actually got it.
Write the plan once: where you're going, where you'll start, when you'll turn around, when you expect to be back, and who to call if you're not. Add the people you want watching your trip. Farwatch emails each of them a link to your plan and shows you who has confirmed they've read it. When you're back, mark the trip back safe and your watchers hear that too.
• A plan built from real trip details: route or area, starting point, map link, turnaround and expected-back times, and an emergency contact
• Notes and files attached to the plan
• Watchers need no app and no account. They read the plan in their browser and confirm with one tap
• See at a glance who has been sent the plan and who has confirmed it
• Add watchers after the plan has gone out
What Farwatch isn't
Farwatch is a convenience on top of the safety practice you already follow, not a replacement for it, and not an emergency service. It doesn't track your location, it doesn't alert anyone when a trip runs late, and it never contacts your emergency contact or search and rescue. It makes sure the people you told have your plan. What they do with it is up to you and them.
