Logbook Lite - The logbook for the small trip Logbook Lite is a digital logbook for sailors and powerboaters who tend to make small trips rather than go on big voyages. With Logbook Lite you can keep a simple logbook with little effort, which still meets the official requirements for logbooks. The input areas of Logbook Lite are clearly divided and you decide according to your preference which areas you want to use. In the simplest case, only data about the start and end of the trip is recorded. If you want to enter more information in your logbook, you can, for example, enter when the engine was turned on and off again or when you set sail. You can also enter intermediate positions (as a GPS position or as a free location) and continuously record current weather data or have it entered from the onboard instruments in Logbook Lite. In the journal you can keep a diary and record technical information. You can also insert photos into the logbook. With activated tracking function Logbook Lite records your route as GoogleTrack and displays it in the logbook. Logbook Lite offers optimized and clearly designed layouts for printouts and PDFs. BoardCash – Your digital cash box Managing the board cash box is usually not among the most popular tasks on board. However, one should keep track of the expenses and the cash position. And with BoardCash this is a cinch. Budget - Tracking the cost for your ship With Budget you keep track of all expenses around your ship. Enter all costs of your ship in Budget and assign them to freely selectable categories. Then evaluate the costs according to categories and other criteria and compare the expenses in different years. First-Aid Kit – First aid without having to search in the medicine box In case of emergency quickly find the right medication with First-Aid Kit and keep track of which medications soon will no longer be preserved. Inventory – Keep track of your ship’s storage In a ship there are many different places where you can store your things and many items that need to be stowed. But how to keep track of this? For this task our Inventory is very helpful. With Inventory you can manage quite easily the storage and inventory of all items in your ship.

SailViewer turns sailing GPS and instrument logs into an interactive debrief on iPhone and iPad. Import a supported sailing file, choose the logs you want to open, and explore the race from several angles: • Track views with boats, courses, selections, and optional map backgrounds • Tables and graphs for comparing selected values • Polar analysis for speed and angle relationships • Start, Race, Boat, and Maneuvers views when supported by the data • Local image sharing from supported analysis windows SailViewer includes synthetic sample logs. Samples start closed, so you decide when to open them. You can import SW2, SLV, GPX, KML, NMEA, VTK, FIT, VKX, supported CSV sources, and supported ZIP archives. Your imported sailing files stay on your device unless you explicitly share them. Ordinary iPhones, including large iPhones, have permanently free local access and do not require weekly license checks. All iPads, including iPad mini, and this iPad app running on an Apple-silicon Mac are free through 31 December 2026. These devices require an internet connection for initial activation and at least once every seven days. Free access ends on 1 January 2027 at 00:00 UTC, when a paid subscription will be required. Purchasing will require a future app update; this release cannot take payments. There is no automatic charge. If access expires, your local library is retained. Optional error reports and usage summaries are off by default. Support reports are sent only when you choose to send them, and original sailing logs are not attached automatically. This is the new SailViewer app and is separate from the legacy SailViewer/TruSailViewer product. Automatic transfer from the legacy app is not promised; keep your original files and import supported formats into this app.
