NEW: College Fit — your swimmer's college projection in one tap Wonder where your swimmer might fit in college? College Fit projects their times forward to age 18 across three scenarios — conservative, expected, and aggressive — then ranks NCAA programs by how well they actually match. Every school gets a two-part read: • Conference fit — would they project to score at the conference championship? • Roster fit — would their times earn a spot on this specific team's depth chart? Browse the full ranked best-fits list, or search a specific school. Drill in for event-by-event detail: where they'd place at conference, where they'd rank on the roster, NCAA cuts they'd hit, and how their projection compares to the team's current top swimmers. An AI-generated narrative ties it all together — switch between swimmer-tone and coach-tone for the read that fits you. Filter by school tier (NCAA D1 Power, D1 Mid-Major, D2 — D3 and NAIA coming), conference, target age, and course. Built to grow with the dataset as more programs come online.

About

Bee Hunter

Features
Read full description

Bee lining is the old woodsman's art of finding wild honeybee colonies: catch a bee at a feeding station, time how long it takes to fly home and back, note its direction — and follow the beeline to the bee tree. Bee Hunter puts that whole craft on your phone. AT THE STATION • Set up a bee line station at your exact GPS position • Mark your bees by color and time each flight with a one-tap stopwatch • Capture flight direction with the built-in compass — confirm before you record • Every flight refines the estimate: directions are averaged, outliers get diluted ON THE MAP • Each bee draws a line on the map — color-matched, pointing where it flew, sized by flight time (2–3 minutes ≈ within 100 m, 10 minutes ≈ a mile) • Where the lines converge, that's your bee tree • Mark found trees, log revisits over the years, and mark the disappointments too ("oh no, it's someone's hive") • Navigate off-trail with a straight-line bearing from your position to any tree BUILT FOR THE BACKCOUNTRY • Download USGS Topo and Satellite maps for your planned area before you leave — by visible map area or by GPS coordinates and radius • Everything works with zero cell service: recording, maps, navigation • Export waypoints as GPX/KML for your Garmin or other GPS apps YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • No accounts, no servers, no ads, no tracking — everything lives in your own private iCloud • Share individual stations or trees with people you choose, read-only, via Apple's iCloud sharing • Nothing is ever public Whether you're reviving a family tradition or discovering bee lining for the first time, Bee Hunter is the field notebook, stopwatch, compass, and map — all in your pocket.
