boating.systems
Digital tools for life on the water.
A small family of apps for people who spend time on boats — built by a sailor on Long Island Sound, and free. No ads, no subscription, no account required. Sign in once and your boat, your places and your outings are the same everywhere.
The apps
Chart ↗
The underway map. NOAA charts coloured against your boat's draft, with
tides, currents and your track behind you.
Guide ↗
Harbours, anchorages and passage plans — where to go, and what you'll
find when you get there.
Log ↗
Your time on the water, kept. Replay an outing speed-coloured, read the
tacks, and download it as GPX.
Anchor ↗
Anchorages, and a lookout that stays awake — a watch that wakes you if
the boat starts to move.
Line Honors ↗
Race control, start to finish. Sequences, marks and finish times for a
club race night.
Wake soon
Trips worth showing: flotillas, life lists, sea service.
How this works
- Free, and staying free. No ads, no subscription, nothing held back behind a paywall.
- No account needed. Every app works signed out. Signing in is what lets your boat and your outings follow you between apps and devices.
- Your records are yours. Outings download as GPX and open in any plotter. Nothing you record becomes visible to anyone else unless you choose to share it.
- Built on public data. NOAA charts, NOAA tide and current predictions, National Weather Service forecasts, OpenStreetMap and OpenSeaMap.
