ingress.tools is a fan-run site for people who play Ingress, the location-based game where two factions fight over real-world landmarks. It collects the small jobs that come up around the game and puts them in one place: working out how far a portal can link, how many keys a portal will give up before it burns out, whether a field plan has crossed links, and which passcodes other agents have redeemed lately.
What's here
- Guides to playing the game, linking and fielding, and planning an operation.
- An event calendar and an explanation of how anomaly battles are scored.
- Calculators for key farming, link distance and leveling up.
- A passcode list, a portal map and a field plan checker.
- IITC plugins that connect the Intel map to the tools here.
Where the data comes from
Passcodes and portals come from agents. Passcodes are submitted by hand or reported automatically by the IITC plugin when an agent redeems one on the Intel map, and portals are uploaded through the same plugin. The calculators use the game's published values and community measurements, and each one explains its math on its own page. Event dates are copied from the official Ingress news page and checked by hand.
Why accounts are invite-only
Everything you're reading, along with the calculators, passcode list, portal map and public plans, is open to everyone without an account. Accounts are for things like voting on passcodes, syncing an inventory and sharing plans with a team. They're invite-only because an earlier, open version of the passcode voting was flooded by bots, and a list like that is only useful if the reports are from real agents.
The project
ingress.tools has been tracking passcodes since 2018 and was rebuilt from the ground up in 2026. It's run anonymously, as agents tend to prefer, and it's an independent fan project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Niantic Spatial, the company behind Ingress. Advertising helps cover the cost of running it; the privacy policy explains how that works.
