Silvertrac Alternative — Simple, Free, Offline
Silvertrac is a security guard management platform for security companies — digital guard tours, live GPS mapping, dispatch, missed-checkpoint alerts and real-time reporting to a control room. It's built for teams and oversight. If you're a single guard who just needs to run your patrol and hand in a report, that's more machinery than you need.
Guard Tour Log is the simple, offline alternative — the guard's part, nothing else.
Is Guard Tour Log right for you?
Go lightweight if you:
- are a single guard or small team
- don't need a dispatch/monitoring dashboard or geo-fence alerting
- want it to work offline
- don't want setup fees or annual contracts

Silvertrac is a solid platform if you're a company that needs to watch multiple guards in real time, get missed-checkpoint alerts and manage dispatch. Guard Tour Log isn't that — and doesn't want to be. It does the single repeated job of the guard on shift: scan checkpoints, keep a stamped log, report incidents with a photo, export a PDF — offline.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Silvertrac alternative?
Guard Tour Log is free and keeps only the guard-on-shift workflow: checkpoints, a stamped patrol log, incident reports and a PDF export. There is no paid tier and no per-guard licence.
Is there a Silvertrac alternative that works offline?
Yes. Guard Tour Log works fully offline. There is no control room to reach and no upload to wait for — everything is recorded on the device and exported when you're ready.
What is the best Silvertrac alternative for a single guard?
A dispatch platform assumes someone is supervising. If that person is you, Guard Tour Log covers what's left: record the patrol, log incidents with photos, and produce the report.
Is Guard Tour Log a full replacement for Silvertrac?
No. If you need real-time monitoring, alerting and team dispatch, Silvertrac does that and Guard Tour Log does not. It's for the single guard rather than the operation around them.
