Border areas are strategic regions that require continuous supervision to maintain national sovereignty. Border markers function as official indicators of state boundaries and must remain in proper condition without displacement. This study aims to design and develop an Android-based border marker monitoring application using MIT App Inventor to assist officers in monitoring marker conditions efficiently. The application utilizes Bluetooth communication to receive signal data from monitoring devices installed on border markers, which indicate movement or disturbance conditions. The research method employed is research and development (R&D), consisting of system analysis, application design, implementation, and functional testing. The results show that the application can successfully display marker status information in real time on an Android smartphone, providing visual notifications when disturbances occur. This application is expected to improve the effectiveness of border monitoring and reduce risks caused by delayed information.
