Coming to Google Play and the App Store

Know your air.

Radon is invisible, has no smell and is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon Tracker turns your detector's readings into a clear answer: are we fine, or do we need to act?

Are we fine, or do we act?

Each detector shows its latest reading big, colored and named by EPA level. Tap one for its history, drag across the chart to read any moment, and watch new readings land on their own.
