- 💰 Revenue: Modest — $1K - $7K/mo · INDIE tier · medium confidence, trajectory unclear.
- ⭐ Quality: 4.0★ across 16 reviews — weak — significant quality concerns.
- 📍 Market: Not yet charting in any of the 9 monitored markets.
- 📈 Growth: ⚠ last update 635d ago — possibly dormant.
- ⚠️ Risk: Moderate — dormant (635d since update).
🎯 For competitors: Mixed picture. Worth competing if you have a clear UX or pricing edge — otherwise crowded segment.
💵 For acquirers: Estimated asking range 18-32× monthly = $50K-$90K. Portfolio play ($8K/mo combined) commands premium.

📝 About this app
I had two simple requirements for an anchor alarm app:
1. The swing circle should not be just a circle, but should take into account my individual free space, which can be different in each direction.
2. I want to be really woken up by an alarm when the anchor is dragging. (I would never wake up from the quiet, one-time alarm tone of my Garmin GPS handheld device)
And that's exactly what I already implemented in the first successful version of this app. More and more features were added over time.… View full description on the official store →

About this analysis
Why low confidence: only 16 ratings · no founder-verified revenue (model estimate only) · revenue figure is directional only.
📌 Final verdict — read this before you trust the numbers above
Anchor Alarm - Anchor Watch is a small / niche iOS app in the productivity space with weak public traction — only 16 ratings, no founder-verified MRR, and not ranked in any monitored grossing chart. The app appears to be monetised, but public signals are too sparse for a precise revenue estimate.
Bottom line: treat all revenue, audience and acquisition-value numbers on this page as directional only — not founder-verified facts.
