## What is Bearing?

Bearing is not a boring compass. Open it, and your phone becomes a precision instrument: heading in degrees over a live map inside the dial, true or magnetic north, live declination, and a data card with altitude, speed, pressure, weather, wind, and sunrise / sunset — all on one screen. At sunset it turns itself into a pure red night compass.

Built for hikers, orienteers, sailors, pilots, stargazers, and anyone who wants more than a stock compass.

COMPASS YOU CAN TRUST
• Heading in degrees or mils, with cardinal label (N, NE, E, SE…)
• True or magnetic north, one tap to switch
• Live declination and heading accuracy on screen
• Haptic ticks at every cardinal and intercardinal
• Calibration alerts you can turn on or off
• Optional map inside the dial, with adjustable width

FOLLOW A BEARING
Tap the dial or LOCK to hold a bearing. The readout shows how far to turn, ON COURSE when you are on your line, and the back bearing for the way home. A soft haptic fires each time you come back on course.

NIGHT VISION, DONE PROPERLY
Night Red and Night Green are strictly single-spectrum, map and controls included. No blue or white light spoils your dark-adapted eyes.
• Switches automatically from Sunset to Sunrise (computed on the device, works offline) or with iPhone Dark Mode
• Night Dimmer and Minimum Screen Brightness
• Night sky data: moon phase, moonrise and moonset, astronomical darkness, cloud cover
• Polaris finder: its elevation, plus a star on the dial

A FULL DATA CARD, ALWAYS VISIBLE
Every reading you actually use, no extra taps:
• Altitude in meters or feet
• Speed in km/h, mph, or knots
• Pressure with a 3-hour trend: sea level from Apple Weather, or station pressure from the on-device barometer
• Temperature, sky condition, humidity
• Wind speed and direction, also marked on the dial
• Sunrise and sunset for your exact location
Tap any reading to change its unit. Weather comes first-party from Apple WeatherKit. No tracker pixels.

COORDINATES, EVERY FORMAT
• Live latitude and longitude with GPS accuracy, plus the place name
• Decimal Degrees (DD), Degrees Minutes Seconds (DMS), Degrees Decimal Minutes (DDM)
• UTM and MGRS for land navigation
• Tap to change format, long-press to copy or share

WAYPOINTS THAT BRING YOU BACK
Save any spot — trailhead, anchorage, summit, your car — with one tap on MARK. Tap a waypoint to navigate: an arrow on the dial points the way, the distance updates as you move, and a haptic tells you when you have arrived. The list is sorted by distance.

SUN, MOON, QIBLA
• Real-time sun and moon position on the dial
• Qibla direction — bearing to Mecca, accurate from anywhere on Earth

QUICK CONTROLS
• Toolbar: QUICK, LOCK, MARK, NIGHT, SETTINGS
• Quick panel with themes, the dimmer, and one-tap tiles
• Focus mode: just the heading and the dial

SIX THEMES INCLUDED
• Tactical (black + warm orange — the default)
• Light
• Arctic (navy and ice blue)
• Solar (amber and gold)
• Night Red
• Night Green

BUILT THE RIGHT WAY
• iPhone and iPad, iOS 18.6 or later
• In English and 11 more languages
• Apple WeatherKit, MapLibre, map data © OpenStreetMap contributors
• No accounts. No third-party analytics. No ads.
• Your waypoints stay on your device.
