## What is Kraken Rack Monitor?

Kraken Rack Monitor lets you see the status of your vacuum-mounted roof rack in real time, so you can drive without constantly wondering whether every mount is still holding securely.

Designed to work with Kraken Rack Monitor hardware installed on supported vacuum-mounted racks, the app receives live status updates from the rack via Bluetooth. At a glance, you can see whether each vacuum mount is secure or needs attention.

Key Features:

• Real-time vacuum mount monitoring
   See the live status of each vacuum mount while you drive.

• Standard and Tactical views
   Choose between the clean Standard interface or the new Tactical view for a more visual representation of your rack and its individual mounts.

• Customizable Tactical appearance
   Choose from multiple Tint Colors to make the monitoring interface your own.

• Background monitoring and alerts
   Kraken can continue monitoring while the app is in the background or your phone is locked. If a vacuum mount starts losing vacuum, the app can trigger an audible alarm and notification.

• Flexible rack configuration
   Reverse the rack orientation and remap sensors so the on-screen layout matches your physical installation.

• Device status at a glance
   Check the Bluetooth signal strength and battery level of your Kraken Rack Monitor before and during your drive.

Kraken Rack Monitor is designed to make vacuum-rack monitoring clear, immediate, and easy to understand without unnecessary distraction.

Note: This app requires the Kraken Rack Monitor hardware to function.
