About

Reefie

Features
Read full description

Reefie turns focused work into a dive. Choose a depth - anywhere from 10 to 120 metres. A metre is a minute, so 45 m is a 45-minute session. Drop the line, do your work, and if you stay under until the timer ends, whatever was circling down there follows you home. SIXTY SPECIES, BY DEPTH Common fish drift through the shallows. Rarer things live further down, and the legendaries only stir below 85 metres. Every catch fills a page in your Ocean Book, so a long dive is worth more than two short ones - in pearls, and in what you can actually find. DEEP FOCUS Switch it on and leaving the app ends the dive. The line snaps and the catch is lost. Reefie cannot block other apps and doesn't pretend to - it just makes walking away cost something, which for most people is enough. DIVE TOGETHER Add friends by diver name to see their reef. Trade the species you have doubles of. Join a room to work towards a shared total, or race a weekly leaderboard that resets every Monday. YOUR REEF Pearls from every dive buy boats and hooks, and one-dive boosts when you want better odds on a deep run. YOUR REEF FOLLOWS YOU Sign up with an email address, or use Sign in with Apple. Your collection lives on your account, not on one phone - change handset or reinstall and it is still there. There are no ads, no third-party trackers, and nothing is sold to anyone. You can delete your account and everything in it with one button in Settings. REEFIE PRO (optional) A subscription for divers who want better odds: +10% catch chance on every dive, boosted rare and legendary weighting, and +25% pearls from every catch. Monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Reefie works completely without it. Reefie Pro Monthly and Reefie Pro Yearly are auto-renewing subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase, and renews at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your Apple ID is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. Reefie Pro Lifetime is a one-time purchase and never renews.
