Hi everyone!
I’m excited to join the community and share my first project here.
First of all, I want to say a huge thank you to the Suunto team for making OpenSuuntoPlus available. It’s a brilliant move that inspired me to try my hand at developing for watches. Although I’m not a professional programmer, I felt motivated to build something I personally missed during my sailing vacation last year.

I’ve created an Anchor Alarm app. The logic is simple but essential for any skipper:
You mark the spot where the anchor was dropped.
You set a safety radius (the “swing circle”).
If the boat moves outside this circle - meaning the anchor might be dragging - the app alerts the captain so they can take immediate action.
I have tested the app on my Suunto Vertical 2, and it also looks solid on other models in the emulator. If anyone is interested in how it works or wants to check the logic, the source code is fully available…
…on GitHub: ayamshanov/AnchorAlarm-for-Suunto (according to the forum rules, I do not have enough points yet to post direct links)
I would love to hear your feedback or suggestions!
