About
Upwind is a sailing tracker for Apple Watch, iPhone and iPad: live speed and course, recorded sessions with speed-colored tracks. Free, with no accounts and no ads.
INSTRUMENTS
- SOG (speed over ground) in knots, smoothed for reading at a glance
- COG (course over ground) on a compass ribbon
- Automatic night mode: red instruments after sunset to preserve night vision
RECORDING
- Explicit Rec button: recording never starts on its own
- Speed-colored track, from cyan (slow) to coral (fast), scaled to your session
- Distance, average and maximum speed, duration
- On Apple Watch, recordings also save as Sailing workouts in Health (with your permission)
WATCH, IPHONE OR BOTH
- Apple Watch records standalone with its own GPS
- iPhone and iPad are full trackers too, with live map and instruments
- Sessions sync automatically between your devices through iCloud
AFTER THE SAIL
- Scrub through the speed chart: speed, time and position at any moment
- Standard or satellite map, free of clutter
- Share sessions via AirDrop, export GPX, import GPX from other apps
- Nautical coordinates (degrees and decimal minutes)
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts, no developer servers, no ads, no analytics. Your data stays on your devices and in your private iCloud.
TIPS
- For sessions longer than a couple of hours, record with an iPhone or iPad connected to onboard power
- On iPad, GPS requires a Wi-Fi + Cellular model
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
