Hacker Tracker

Streamlined schedules for security conference goers

Hacker Tracker is built for people who live by the conference agenda. It pulls together talks, contests, and events from major infosec gatherings into a tidy, central schedule, so planning your day no longer means juggling printed guides or scattered notes.

The app’s clean, material design keeps the focus on what matters: finding sessions, saving favorites, and setting reminders so you do not miss a must-see talk. DEF CON gets first-class treatment with detailed listings across tracks and contests, and the catalog continues to grow. You will find support for events like HackWest, ToorCon, and ShmooCon, with the team working to expand coverage to additional gatherings such as BSides Orlando and LayerOne.

There is a practical caveat to how new data arrives. Updates are not instant or automatic for every conference, and additions often follow user demand. That approach keeps the core experience lean, but it can mean a delay before lesser-known events show up. Even so, when the listings are present, there is a lot of information in one place, which helps both first-time attendees and veterans shape their schedules with confidence.

A few rough edges remain. Small text can strain the eyes on dense pages, and the sorting tools could be more flexible when you need to filter a busy day quickly. The optional map view has been known to crash, and there is no built-in navigation feature to guide you between locations. If you rely heavily on venue maps or in-app directions, you will need another tool.

Despite those trade-offs, Hacker Tracker succeeds as a no-frills planner for security conferences. If you want a straightforward way to browse lineups, bookmark sessions, and get reminders without bloat, it delivers where it counts.
