Everything the fox and the hunters need

Built by hams, for club hunts, field days and friendly competition.

Live map for the fox

The fox sees every hunter moving in real time. Hunters never see the fox, so the hunt stays fair.

Transmit timer

Talk 60 s, silent 3 min, short talk 30 s, then it repeats. Audio warnings at 2 min, 1 min and 30 s tell the fox when to key up.

Found tracking

The fox marks each hunter as found. Elapsed times are recorded automatically, and a found hunter's location sharing stops.

Groups & events

Create a club group, plan events, invite members with a link and run as many rounds as you like, with a new fox each time.

Season standings

Points are awarded when a round ends. Follow the leaderboard all season long.

Event summaries

Every event ends with a shareable summary: best fox, fastest hunter, times, distances and GPS tracks.

Notifications

Get a push or email notification when an event is created, someone joins, or a round is over.

Privacy by design

Location is shared only during an active round. Hunters can hide their position at any time. No ads, no tracking.
