PLANNING A new tab under Upkeep. The Outlook lays out what falls due month by month, as far ahead as you care to look, with repeat services and budgets counted in. PROJECTS Gather a refit list, a haul-out or a yard visit into one named project with its own dates, budget and progress. SCHEDULE JOBS IN A BATCH Pick several jobs straight from the Outlook and book them in one pass — as dated logbook tasks, as Apple Reminders, or both. REMINDERS THAT FOLLOW YOUR HOURS Service-hours reminders and the Outlook are now dated from how hard your engines actually run, measured from your own logged readings rather than a flat guess. POSITION AT A GLANCE The dashboard shows where you are and where you were last written up side by side, each with its own position. ROOM TO WORK ON iPHONE A thorough pass over every form, list and picker on the smaller screen. Fields run the full width, labels read in full instead of one letter per line, nothing hides behind the bottom bar, and tapping a row in a chooser now picks it. The dashboard, To-Do and help buttons stay with you however deep you navigate. FIXES • Work you have not finished no longer counts as done • Attachments open when you tap them • Photos still arriving from iCloud no longer close the app • Planned work is marked on the upkeep calendar • The Mac version stops asking permission at every launch • Founding Members are recorded in the profile Fair winds. Questions and suggestions are always welcome — they are what shapes each release. ### 1.4.2 — 2026-08-28 NOW ON MAC! Boat Manager arrives on macOS. Keep your logs, maintenance schedules, documents, and checklists at your fingertips on your Mac, with everything kept in sync across all your devices through iCloud. YOUR DATA IS ALWAYS YOURS Even if your subscription lapses, you'll always be able to open the app to view and export your records. Nothing gets locked away — you keep full read-only access to everything you've built. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE • Bug fixes and stability improvements • Performance enhancements for a faster, smoother experience Thanks for using Boat Manager! We'd love to hear your feedback — please leave a review or get in touch. ### 1.4.1 — 2026-08-03 Contacts, linked to everything Link a contact — your mechanic, marina, or insurance agent — directly to equipment, maintenance tasks, waypoints, and crew, so you always know who to call. Each contact now has a Locations map showing where they are relative to you. Smarter waypoint coordinates Pasting coordinates into a new waypoint now understands Apple Maps links, degrees-minutes-seconds, and decimal formats. Filter the log by task The Upkeep log filter now lets you narrow entries down to a specific maintenance task, not just equipment. Tap the weather for the full forecast Dashboard weather cards now open the full NOAA marine forecast when tapped, with a quick link to nearby marine weather right on the dashboard. More precise "days ago" Days-since readouts now show the exact day count for anything under two weeks, instead of rounding everything under a month to "1 week ago." Plus a fix for a crash on some boat and crew detail screens, more reliable waypoint deletion, and more consistent attachments throughout the app. ### 1.4.0 — 2026-07-24 Checklists and maintenance tracking got a big upgrade in this release! • Run a Checklist — open a checklist, tick off the tasks as you do them, and they're saved straight into the boat's log as completed maintenance. You can also run a checklist right from a log entry, with your recently run checklists at the top. • Due status — checklists now show when they were last run on your boat and when they're next due, by calendar or engine hours. • Manuals on checklists — attach the equipment manuals a checklist came from and open them right from the checklist. A maintenance item can now be on several checklists at once, too. • Improved Upkeep dashboard — reworked so it's easier to see what's due across your whole boat at a glance. • Maintenance tied to specific equipment — maintenance items now link to individual pieces of equipment instead of just a category. Heads up: on first launch each item gets linked to ALL equipment of its type — take a minute to open your items and remove the equipment that doesn't apply, so schedules and the dashboard track the right gear. Plus smaller fixes throughout: cleaner checklist screens, and CSV backup/restore now round-trips checklists, manuals, and run history in any import order. ### 1.3.0 — 2026-07-14 Expenses get the spotlight in this release, plus lots of polish. • Expenses now have their own tab on each boat, giving them much more room • New expense analysis charts show you where the money goes • Export your expenses to PDF for sharing or record keeping • Attach receipts, invoices, and service reports directly to maintenance tasks • Forms are now locked by default — tap the pencil to edit, so you can't accidentally overwrite your data • Improved charts throughout: tap and drag on any chart to see the exact value • Current weather now appears on the Dashboard • Add notes to your tankage entries • Filter when adding attachments to find documents faster • Many small layout improvements and bug fixes for better readability ## Apps similar to Boat Manager | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [South Seas](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/south-seas/id6449945995) | 3.7 (3) | Free | Travel | | [Chub Cay](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/chub-cay/id1671600065) | 5.0 (8) | Free | Travel | ## More apps by John Tattersfield - [Float Plan Messenger](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/float-plan-messenger/id6747148226) All apps by John Tattersfield: https://appshunter.io/developer/1751198493 ## Related topics [my dragon boat](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/my-dragon-boat) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
