ParkWatch
Getting started

Download & install.

ParkWatch loads unpacked in Chrome — no store, no account, about a minute start to finish.

Download ParkWatch

Or choose your platform: Windows · macOS · Linux

ParkWatch runs on desktop Chrome, on Windows, macOS and Linux. Pick your platform above.

Every build is the same app — each download includes that platform's installer and helper. On Linux, please read the Linux notes first (there's a snap/Flatpak gotcha worth knowing).

Requirements

  • Google Chrome (or a Chromium-based browser) with Developer mode.
  • Optional: the ParkWatch helper for rig control, UDP logging and DX-cluster spotting. Everything else works with the extension alone.

Install

  1. Download & unzip the zip for your platform, somewhere you'll keep it.
  2. Open chrome://extensions and switch on Developer mode (top-right).
  3. Click Load unpacked and choose the parkwatch folder.
  4. Pin ParkWatch to the toolbar and click it to open.
  5. (Optional) Run the included installer once to enable rig control, UDP logging and DX-cluster spotting.

Updating

Your data carries over. Unzip the new build over your existing folder and hit Reload in chrome://extensions — your hunted parks, settings and log stay put. Pressing Remove, or loading from a different folder, is what clears them, so reload in place.

Step-by-step screens are in the user guide.
