SailUp vs Kinapod

The complete sailboat compass, race timer, and team-coaching app for competitive sailors. Built for high school, collegiate, and competitive sailing programs, plus race-day use on bigger boats and any regatta where sail computers and sail compasses are permitted, SailUp combines a precision sailboat compass, a synchronized sailing timer, real-time voice coaching, and full sailing data analytics in one seamless system. SailUp does both: • A sailboat training system for high school and collegiate teams turning practice into measurable performance. • A race-day sail computer for keelboat regattas, big-boat racing, and any event where sail computers and sail compasses are allowed. SAILING TIMER, RACE CLOCK & COMPASS — ALL IN ONE • Race Timer — synchronized countdown across coach, sailors and watch, with audible whistle cues • Start Timer — programmable countdown for every flag in the start sequence • Distance to Line — mark the pin and the committee boat, then watch the gap close as the clock runs down • Sailboat Compass — true and magnetic heading with lift and header detection • Wind Compass — live wind direction over your sailboat compass heading • Sailboat Speed — GPS speed in knots with 5, 10 and 15-second averages • Race Clock — precision elapsed time and leg-by-leg splits once the gun goes • Heel Angle — live heel readout so you see when the sailboat is on rail • Course Marks — drop GPS pins for the racecourse before the start timer fires • Life Jacket Mode — lock the screen so a wave cannot tab out your timer or compass ALWAYS IN REACH • Full race timer and clock control from Apple Watch or run the entire start sequence on the watch alone, phone left below • Race clock on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island the moment a sequence starts • Home Screen widget with countdown, distance to the line, and one-tap PIN, BOAT and CLEAR • Watch face complication, one tap from the timer REAL-TIME COACHING • Live, hands-free voice from coach to sailors • Immediate corrections during starts, maneuvers, and drills • Sailors stay focused while the coach directs PERFORMANCE YOU CAN USE • Track sailboat speed, heading, and movement • Analyze tacks, gybes, and acceleration • Identify inefficiencies in real time You see it on the timer, on the compass, in the data. STRUCTURED PRACTICE MODE • Run repeatable drills off the start timer • Build consistency across the team TEAM-BASED SYSTEM • Organize sailors by team, boat, or lineup • Coach multiple boats at once • Centralized fleet-wide communication • Built for team racing and fleet training RELIABLE WHEN IT COUNTS • Runs the whole start sequence without dropping out • Races save on the boat and sync once you are back in signal • A race is never discarded before it has left your phone CONNECTED ON THE WATER • Sync compass, clock and timer data between coach and sailors in real time • Connects boat to boat over local Wi-Fi and Bluetooth — no cell signal needed WHY SAILUP Whether you are running a high school practice or rounding the windward mark on a 40-footer, the start is everything. Winning comes down to timing, positioning, and execution under pressure. SailUp gives you real-time awareness from the sailboat compass and race timer, immediate feedback, and data-driven improvement. BUILT BY SAILORS Designed by competitive sailors and coaches.

One AirPod. Eight sports. Kinapod turns an AirPod into a motion sensor inside your flying disc, inside your bowling ball, on your running shoe, on your bicycle wheel, under your swim cap, in your golf grip, or on your shuttlecock, measuring what no phone or watch can see. DISC SPORTS: DISC GOLF & FRISBEE 1. Secure an AirPod in a mount at the centre of your disc 2. Start a session and throw 3. Hear each throw's stats spoken aloud, no need to look at the phone • Spin rate (rpm) and revolutions per throw • Release speed • Airborne time per throw • Nose and hyzer release angles • Play catch with a partner: throws credited to each player automatically, with catch verdicts and rally streaks • Game mode for ultimate: lay the phone on the sideline and get a live stall count, completions vs turnovers, hang time, and your backhand/forehand split on a big spectator scoreboard. A disc toss even decides which team starts BOWLING Drop an AirPod into the thumb hole and plug it with a piece of sponge. Every roll is measured: • Ball speed and release rev rate • Roll time, spin-axis tilt and axis rotation (hook potential) • 3D replay of the ball spinning about its measured axis • Up to 4 players sharing one ball, rolls credited by turn order RUNNING: TREADMILL & OUTDOOR Tuck an AirPod under your shoelaces and it becomes a footpod: • Cadence, ground contact time, vertical oscillation, running power • Outdoors, GPS adds pace, distance and your route map • Upload runs to Strava, form metrics included, like a dedicated footpod CYCLING Strap the AirPod securely around your wheel hub, the same spot dedicated speed sensors use, or wear it on your leg as a cadence sensor. Your ears stay free while you ride: • True ground speed and distance from the wheel itself, immune to GPS drift • A customizable bike computer screen: swipeable pages, pick any metric for any tile • Bluetooth power meters and heart-rate straps connect directly • Rolling power averages, Normalized Power, TSS, laps, auto-pause • Optional wind gauge showing wind direction relative to where you ride SWIM Slip the AirPod into a small waterproof pouch under your cap: • Laps, distance and pace per length, counted automatically • Live distance and pace on the phone at the lane edge • Water lock ignores splashes on the screen • Upload swims to Strava with the pace graph GOLF Tuck the AirPod into the end of the grip: • Tempo (backswing over downswing) with the raw times • Backswing and follow-through length in degrees • Face rotation for putts, measured against your own address • Estimated club speed for every club, custom clubs included • 3D replay of every stroke with the measured arcs drawn on it JIANZI Strap the AirPod to the shuttlecock base, feathers up: • Rallies counted automatically, from first kick to landing • Kicks per rally, airborne time, average hang per kick • Kicking tempo and idle time TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • Every session saved, with per-throw, per-roll, per-stroke and per-rally charts • Live heart rate during every workout (AirPods Pro 3 in-ear, or any Bluetooth heart-rate monitor), with session averages and Strava export • Shareable session summary image • Strava upload for runs, rides and swims • Voice feedback through your phone speaker or AirPods • Report a problem straight from any session REQUIREMENTS Requires AirPods with a built-in motion sensor: AirPods Pro (any generation), AirPods (3rd generation or later). All motion processing happens on your device. AirPods is a trademark of Apple Inc. The cycling wind gauge uses Apple Weather.
