Here is the deal.
Honest about what we do — and what we don't.
1 What it is — and who it's for
Sailing Companion is a clean, focused iPhone companion for sailing trips — GPS tracking with a glanceable at-the-helm cockpit (SOG, COG, heading, course-to-steer), simple waypoint navigation, a reliable background anchor alarm, and a digital logbook with photos and voice notes you can export as GPX, PDF, or a shareable video. It's built for cruisers, charterers, and day skippers who want a dependable, no-nonsense tool to record and relive their time on the water.
2 What it's not — and who it's not for
It is not a full electronic chartplotter or a replacement for proper marine navigation — no official vector sea charts, AIS, radar, or routing around hazards — so it's not for anyone expecting to navigate by phone alone or to retire their plotter, paper charts, and seamanship. Always cross-check with official charts and don't rely on it for safety-critical decisions.
3 The deal — free, offline, yours
No subscription, no mandatory cloud account, no ads, and it works offline because that's the normal case at sea; your trips live on your device and move only when you choose to share them. If you're looking for a social network, a paid SaaS platform, or an app that quietly harvests your location data, this isn't it.

Real stories from the water.
★★★★★
"Anchor watch saved our sleep in a rolly bay in Corfu. Drift alarm went off before we even woke up. Worth the download just for this."
★★★★☆
"I export my trips as GPX and import them into Navionics for review. The logbook is finally where it should be — on the phone, not in a notebook."
★★★★☆
"Multilingual UI was the deal-breaker for our charter crew. Set the phone to German, French, or Greek and the app just follows. Brilliant."
★★★★★
"Voice notes straight into the logbook while I was steering through a channel. The little things make this app great."
★★★★★
"Background GPS keeps recording while I check the chartplotter. Pause-and-resume works exactly as advertised."
★★★★★
"The live cockpit view is exactly what I need at the helm — speed, heading, and course in big numbers I can read with sunglasses on."
★★★★☆
"Made a insta reel of a nice and windy passage of last week's sailing in Mallorca. Posted it to Instagram right from my phone. Love it!"
★★★★☆
"Pulled a stunning sunset photo straight from the trip timeline, with the trip data on it. Shared it on Facebook in two taps — nice and easy."
