Lost & Found - Search Together

Losing a child, a pet, or a valuable item is terrifying. Searching for them shouldn’t be a chaotic, solitary effort.
Lost & Found - As it should be: Free, 0 Ads, and Collaborative!

Welcome to Lost & Found - Search Together, the ultimate crowdsourced platform that turns your local community into a coordinated search team. Whether you’re looking for a missing dog, a stolen car, a lost wallet, or a wandering child, our shared map ensures no time is wasted and no ground is searched twice.

HOW IT WORKS:
1. Send an SOS: Instantly broadcast an alert to nearby users with a description, the exact last known location of the missing person, pet, or item, and the expected search radius.
2. Form a Search Party: Community members in the area receive the push notification and can join the active search quickly.
3. Live Shared Map: See exactly where everyone is walking in real-time. The map draws a path of where participants have already searched, creating a highly efficient community effort.
4. Drop Clues: Noticed a trail? Found the missing item? Simply add a clue to the map and the creator will see your location, note, and contact details.
5. Found & Resolved: Once the target is found, update the status to alert the search party and thank your community!

KEY FEATURES:
• Smart Search Paths: Stop guessing where people have already looked. Our live map shows trails of every active searcher.
• Categorized SOS Alerts: Choose between Missing Person, Lost Pet, or Lost Item.
• Community Notifications: Get alerted when someone within your immediate radius needs urgent help.
• Secure & Private (Apple CloudKit): We do not use third-party servers. All search data and real-time syncing are securely handled natively via Apple's CloudKit, linked to your existing iCloud account.
• Real-Time Updates: Add sightings, clues, and comments directly to the active SOS map.
