## What is Tideglass?

Tideglass is a free, offline tide instrument for iPhone and Apple Watch. Designed like a vintage marine chronometer in brass and navy — no ads, no accounts, no internet required.

FEATURES
◆ ~8,000 tide stations worldwide, all bundled in the app
◆ Pannable 24-hour chart with a static centre cursor — swipe to scrub ±7 days, with a magnetic snap when you cross "now"
◆ 30-day histogram: every day's maximum high and minimum low as paired bars, with the spring/neap pulse plain to see
◆ 12-month envelope: a smoothed year-at-a-glance view of the highs and lows around your spot
◆ Top-5 tide rankings: see the biggest highs and deepest lows in any visible window
◆ Sunrise, sunset, moon phase, and your nearest station's name at a glance
◆ Mechanical-drum readout for time and water level, with selection haptics as you scrub
◆ Apple Watch standalone — runs without iPhone, same instrument feel on the wrist

PRIVACY
◆ Location is read only on device to find your nearest tide station — nothing is transmitted, stored, or shared
◆ No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking

DATA
Tide harmonics derived from the open OpenWaters database (NOAA + TICON-4). Predictions are sub-hour accurate at most reference stations. Subordinate stations rely on time and height offsets from a parent station.

RECREATIONAL USE ONLY. Not for marine navigation. Always consult official hydrographic publications for safety-critical decisions.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2.2 — 2026-06-19

What’s new in 1.2.2:

• Tide Curve widget: the “now” marker now stays centered while the tide scale scrolls beneath it, instead of drifting to the right edge and freezing.
• See the next tide at a glance — an up/down arrow and its time — along with the current water level, on both the Home Screen and Lock Screen.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-06-16

• Fixed widgets that were stuck on "Open app to locate" — your nearest high and low tide now show correctly.
• New Large widget with the upcoming tide curve and a list of highs and lows.
• New "Tide Curve" widget showing the rise and fall around now — in small, medium, and large sizes.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-06-02

No release notes.
