FindSquad — coordinated area searches with volunteers

TM

Organize • Search • Find

What people use FindSquad for

Draw the area, and the app splits it into sectors. Volunteers join with a code, and you watch coverage fill in live.

  • A missing person

    Call 911 first. Then give each volunteer a sector and see which ground has been walked.

  • A lost pet

    Spread neighbors across streets, yards and trails instead of everyone checking the same block.

  • A lost item

    Walk a field, yard or campsite in tight sectors for keys, a phone, a ring or a drone.

  • An evidence or line search

    Small, tight sectors over a scene, photos in Squad chat, and an export when the search ends.

FindSquad 2.0

New in 2.0

Everything below is in the app today, on iOS, Android and the web.

Keeps working without signal

Tracking continues when a phone loses service. The ground you cover is recorded on the phone and sent when it reconnects.

Offline maps, automatically

The map of the search area is downloaded to every searcher’s phone as they join, so sectors stay visible with no data.

Search areas up to 50 square miles

Missing-person and lost-pet searches can cover up to 50 sq mi. Lost-item and evidence searches use smaller, tighter sectors.

One slide to Found

Whoever finds it slides once. The whole squad is told and the search ends for everyone.

Co-leads and a recovery key

You get a recovery key when you start a search. Use it to take the lead on a new phone or hand lead tools to co-leads.

Phone or browser

iOS, Android and the web at www.findsquad.app. Lead a search from a computer while phones in the field record the ground they cover.

Patent Pending
