TacticClock vs BR Manager (US)

The app shows the current tactical time of the Bundeswehr on your mobile phone. It is ideal for emergency responders in disaster relief and in major disaster situations, so that they always have a uniform time reference at hand. The app can be used as a time display or as a stationary clock when the mobile phone is set up. This means that the tactical time is always in view and facilitates coordination during operations. Whether in emergencies, exercises or in everyday life - with this app you always have the tactical time at hand.

Unofficial app, not published by THW and not affiliated with THW. Publisher: Lars Schaefer-Dryden. Digital staging area management for civil protection and disaster relief operations. Manage units, personnel strength, and operations logbook right on your device — without registration. All data stays on the device. SITUATION OVERVIEW AT A GLANCE The dashboard shows the current situation: personnel strength, vehicles, organizations, and mission duration. The tactical clock runs in DDHHmmMMMYY format. Forces are displayed by organization with color coding. Weather forecast with 24h outlook (online service, can be switched off). UNIT MANAGEMENT Check in units with organization, vehicle (predefined or free text), license plate, and tactical strength (leaders/sub-leaders/crew). Set status to Deployed, Resting, or Not operational. Deployment time tracking with configurable warning. Batch checkout with preview. Duplicate detection warns on double check-ins. Check-out and "Task completed" can be undone for 6 seconds. TASK TRACKING Create tasks, set priorities (High/Medium/Low), and assign units. Assigned units automatically switch to Deployed and revert on completion. All changes are logged automatically. OPERATIONS LOGBOOK Automatic logging of all check-ins, check-outs, status changes, and shift handovers. Manual entries with control fields complement the logbook. Situation report timer reminds about due reports. Entries are immutable; corrections appear as new entries with a back-reference to the original. AUDIT-GRADE INTEGRITY SHA-256 hash chain over every logbook entry. Tampering with a row directly in the database is flagged in the activity log with the exact break point. Master hash and per-entry hashes appear on the integrity page of the PDF export. Archived deployments are sealed against further writes. PDF EXPORT Export the operations logbook and force verification report as print-ready PDFs with header data, strength overview, and signature line. Each entry shows its writer. SECURITY App lock with PIN and optional biometrics (FaceID/TouchID/fingerprint), idle auto-lock. Local database encrypted with SQLCipher (AES-256). Backups as .brm file always password-protected (AES-256-GCM), restorable on another device. Dashboard server: token authentication in the QR code, optional station PIN, rate limiter. PRIVACY & GDPR Archived deployments can be anonymised; personal fields are replaced with "[anonymisiert]", the hash chain stays intact. Personal data export (GDPR Art. 15) as PDF/JSON. Online services (weather, address lookup) can be switched off under Settings → Legal; then no coordinates leave the device. TABLET & ACCESSIBILITY On tablets and in landscape: navigation rail on the left, two-column dashboard. Larger touch targets, better contrast in night mode, screen reader support. PROCEDURE DOC & COMPLIANCE REPORT Procedure documentation as PDF for GoBD / GDPR audits. The compliance report in settings shows the fulfillment status per version with source, evidence and master hash.
