Hourly GPS log

One tap captures position, course, speed and time — and asks OpenStreetMap for the bay or beach name automatically.

Trip overview

Featured hero card: Day X of N while you're sailing, or a months / weeks / days countdown to the next charter.

Track map

Live OpenStreetMap of your route as it grows — and a self-contained SVG plot inside the exported PDF.

Fair cost split

Mark each expense Shared or Individual, optionally group people (families / cabins) — the app names who pays whom.

Damage protocol

24-item check-in / out checklist with timestamped damage and missing items — turned into a one-tap PDF.

Charter contacts

Up to 3 numbers per trip with Call · WhatsApp · SMS one-tap buttons on the dashboard and trip page.

Multilingual

English, German, Croatian, Slovenian, Slovak, Czech, Polish, Hungarian, Albanian, Bosnian, Montenegrin, Spanish, Italian, French — and more on request.

Beautiful exports

Logbook as polished PDF (with route map) and styled XLSX. Share to Files, WhatsApp, Drive — or email both attached.

Weather forecast

Open-Meteo wind-arrow map, 48-hour hourly strip, and auto alarms for storms, gusts, and rapid pressure drops on the active trip.

Anchor watch

Drop anchor, set a swing radius, sleep easy. Drift outside the circle and the phone vibrates, alarms, and posts a high-priority notification — even with the screen off.

Nautical reference

Signal flags, phonetic alphabet, IALA buoys, lights characteristics and sound signals — all inline SVG, all offline. No more thumbing through a sodden Reeds.

Safety briefing

Ten-chapter draft (boat, MOB, fire, abandon ship, radio, weather, hygiene…) plus a per-crew sign-off list so everyone is on the same page before you cast off.

№ 04 Built for the real boat

No signal. No problem.
Your log keeps logging.

Offshore in the Adriatic? In a Croatian bay forty nautical miles from the nearest tower? The app captures every fix, every spot, every photo, every euro — all of it on your phone. The next time you have signal, share the result.

№ 05 The ship's log

Every hour. Every fix.
Every detail.

A single big LOG POSITION NOW button is the heart of the app — it grabs your GPS, the time, course over ground and speed, and asks OpenStreetMap for the closest named feature.

  • Course, speed, wind, sea state, visibility and propulsion (sail · motor · motorsailing · anchored · moored · drifting).
  • Coordinates accepted in any sensible format: 48.736, N48° 44.40', N48,44, N48 44 24 — always displayed as nautical DMM.
  • Daily and trip distance in nautical miles computed from your fixes.
  • Saved anchorage spots with up to 2 area photos and automatic stay detection over an hour.
  • Barometric pressure tracked per fix — a fast drop triggers a "watch the weather" alarm on the active trip.

№ 06 Fair shares, automatically

Settle the trip in thirty seconds.

Log every expense, mark it Shared or Individual, and the settlement engine names the minimal "who pays whom" transfers so everyone ends up equal.

  • Categories are editable in Settings — both for charter costs (dinghy, end cleaning, transit log…) and trip expenses (fuel, food, repairs…).
  • The engine computes paid − fair share per participant, then the minimal who pays whom transfers.
  • Optionally group members (families / cabins) and settle by group; per-member totals stay visible for transparency.
  • Export the redistribution as PDF or Excel — by member or by group — or email both in one tap.

№ 10 FAQ

Common questions.

Does Sailing Log work without internet?

Yes. The ship's log, expenses, checklist, exports and JSON backup all work fully offline. The two optional network features are the OpenStreetMap reverse geocode (used to name a bay/beach automatically when you save a position) and the live track-map tiles. Both degrade gracefully — your route still draws over an empty grid offline.

Where does my data live?

In your phone's app sandbox. There is no cloud, no account and no analytics. Use the one-tap JSON export to move your data to another device.

Can I send the charter company a clean damage report?

Yes. The Check-in / Check-out checklist gathers timestamped damage and missing items with up to 3 photos each. Tap Export / send damage protocol to share the PDF or email it straight to the charter company.

How does cost-splitting handle families and cabins?

Per-trip you can define groups of members (e.g. "Smith family", "Cabin 2"). Switch the settlement to By group and the engine settles between groups instead of individuals. Member-level totals are still shown for transparency.

Which coordinate formats are accepted?

Decimal degrees (48.736, ± allowed), degrees + decimal minutes with the hemisphere prefix (N48° 44.40'), shorthand (N48,44), and degrees-minutes-seconds (N48 44 24). The app always displays the canonical N48° 44.40' form.

Will my data stay portable?

Yes. Settings → Export JSON writes everything to a single file you can email yourself or drop into any cloud drive. The app itself is a commercial product (not open source), but your data never is — it stays yours, in a plain documented format, forever.
