Read full descriptionHide full description
Tidal Lore is a calm ocean companion for tide rhythm, moon-water pull, coastal context, and reflective public-source water traditions. See the current ocean rhythm, linked tide-source context, lunar pull, tide progress, nearby coast links, and a visual Coast Lens that keeps the water movement easy to read. Choose a region and culture for the reflection shown on Today and Apple Watch. Widgets, Watch views, configurable location precision, and Earth-centred icon artwork keep the app consistent across the Lore series. Features: • Current tide rhythm and moon-water pull • Linked public tide and coast sources where available • Region and culture selector for reflective lore • Coast Lens visualisation for water motion and source confidence • Apple Watch companion views and complications • Configurable location mode, precision, and app icon • Free starter culture set with optional one-time lifetime unlock Tidal Lore is for reflection, education, and personal meaning. It does not provide navigation, safety, emergency, boating, weather, spiritual authority, or guaranteed tide prediction advice. Always use official marine and weather services for safety-critical decisions.
