## What is SKipper App?

SKipper, as the name suggests, is an application for helping you operate your boat. The first two letters, "SK", are capitalized because SKipper uses the Signal K protocol, and can display any data available on a Signal K server. If your Signal K installation uses relays or any SignalK PUT-capable device, SKipper can also control them.
