PrepTracker helps your household get ready for emergencies, calmly and one step at a time. It works fully offline and needs no account. See where you stand Count the water, food and essentials you already have. PrepTracker shows your runway: how many days your household could last, based on official guidelines for your country and household size. Close the gaps A prioritized list of what to buy next, sized to your family, plus reminders before supplies expire. Rotate what you have into everyday use so nothing is wasted. Be ready when it happens Emergency Mode puts your medical cards, emergency numbers and plans one tap away, even without signal. Outage Mode tracks how long the power has been out and what is still safe to eat. Step-by-step first aid guides for bleeding, CPR, choking, burns and more. Plan as a family Where to meet, who to call, evacuation routes, go-bags for every person and pet. Print a household sheet for the fridge. Link your household's phones so everyone sees the same list; a new phone joins only after a phone already in your home approves it. Stay informed Live alerts from official sources for your area (earthquakes, severe weather, floods, outbreaks) and a calm heads-up before each hazard season. Private by design No account. No ads. No tracking. Your data stays on your phone unless you link your household's phones; then the list is encrypted on them with a key only they hold, and our server passes changes along without being able to read them. The optional weekly email sends only a short readiness summary, and you can stop it any time. Community mode (optional) If your community uses PrepTracker, enter its code. Its coordinators then see your household's readiness figures (readiness, days covered, household size, and whether alerts and the weekly email are on), never your name, email, items or documents, and their alerts reach you. Leave community mode at any time. Available in English, German, French, Spanish and Indonesian.
