I didn't want another fishing app. I wanted the one that knows MY water, MY baits, MY fish — so I built it, on the water, with real fish deciding what stayed. Other apps sell millions of crowd catches. A feed never shows the skunk, so crowd data is wins-only — and wins-only data can't teach. Your log holds both: the fish you boated, the ones you lost, the days nothing worked. This app is built to read them. THE BOTTOM, ON THE MAP. Depth contours, soundings, reefs and structure from public survey data — the Great Lakes, every coast, inland lakes and reservoirs state by state — drawn under your own catches. Download a state, and the map for where you're going, and it works with zero signal. DIVE CHARTS, MADE YOURS. Every diver and crank chart in your box, offline. Edit the numbers to how you run them, add your own cranks and in-line weights, keep your go-to charts on your wrist. Your catches land on the rows, and today's depths light up. LOG A FISH IN ONE TAP. Watch or phone — mid-drift, wet hands, zero bars. Or just say it: "Walleye, four pounds, worm harness, twenty-two feet" and it files itself. Log one after, with its time and place. Nothing waits on signal; every tap holds and syncs the moment it can. YOUR PHOTOS ARE YOUR LOG. Scan your camera roll and recover whole seasons you never wrote down, from pictures you already took. DRIFTS AND TROLLS, DONE RIGHT. Plan the drift with your sock or bag — predicted line against what the wind actually did. Set a target troll speed and the watch taps your wrist when you wander off it. Every pass records its track. TRIPS THAT DETECT THEMSELVES. A geofence around your dock: pull away and the trip starts, pull back in and it ends — and your contacts get told when you leave and when you're back. Every catch, drift and troll files under the right trip, and the report says how the day ran against your last three. Each boat gets its own dock. FISH WITH YOUR CREW. Buddy Share: the people you name, a seven-day window, and their trips drawn on your map the way your own are — start, position, catches. Never public, never a feed. INTELLIGENCE YOU EARNED. Forecast areas scored against YOUR catch history. Heat maps weighted by hours fished, so your best water glows. Patterns and anti-patterns from your own log: what's working, and the habit that's costing you fish. Pull up water you've fished and it reminds you what worked there. Play the year back over your catches. A season report with next year's playbook: what to run, where it worked, what to change. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO. Wind, waves at your spot, pressure, water temperature at the surface and at depth, tides, river flow, buoy history — with a plain-language verdict on the day. Radar and satellite. Solunar windows for where you're standing, tapping your wrist when a major opens. Flow, pressure and water-temperature alerts, a morning brief, a note when the lake lays down, NWS warnings the moment they drop. CAPTAINS: YOUR BACK OFFICE. Captain's Mode included. Certs with expiration tracking, your fleet, and trip postcards that draft themselves when you dock, on your own hosted page. ON EVERY SCREEN YOU OWN. iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac — your account keeps them in sync. Widgets, complications for one-tap logging, a Smart Stack card when the bite turns on. GPX import from your plotter. iCloud backup with a month of restore points. Offline-first, because fish don't check for signal. Your data stays yours: encrypted in transit and at rest, backed up to your iCloud, never a feed. The difference between fishing your memory and fishing your data. Built by an angler. Tested by fish. Tight Lines and Get Hooked! — — — One subscription: $29.99/year, Captain's Mode included. Auto-renews unless cancelled 24 hours before the period ends; manage it in your App Store settings.

AYON Wave — Wave Intelligence Where to surf, when, and why. AYON Wave turns the marine forecast into a clear call for your level — go, wait for a better window, or sit this one out — with the reasons written out, so you can check the reading against what you see at the beach. YOUR NEXT WINDOW See the best upcoming window at your home spot and favorites, hour by hour. Every call weighs wave size against your comfort range and swell direction against what the break accepts, plus wind, tide and daylight. MATCHED TO YOU Set your level and the wave sizes you enjoy. The same swell can be right for one surfer and wrong for another, and AYON Wave answers for you. Log your sessions and the app can suggest tuning your comfort range — never without your confirmation. SPOT DNA 247 curated breaks in 28 countries carry their own profile: the swell they accept, the tide they work on, the wind that cleans them up, their difficulty and their known hazards. Anywhere else, search any beach on the globe for a forecast-only reading. CONFIDENCE, SHOWN HONESTLY Every call shows how strong the evidence behind it is — high, medium or low — and why. A model-estimated tide instead of a local station, crossed swells, missing data or spot details not yet verified all lower it. Confidence measures evidence. It is never a promise of safety. DATA & TRUST CENTER See where every number comes from: marine and weather forecasts from Open-Meteo, and NOAA tide predictions at US stations. A forecast is a model, not an observation, and AYON Wave labels it that way. SURF SCHOOLS Book a lesson with a local surf school through the AYON Ecosystem booking network — real schools, booked directly. WAVE PRO Subscribe for the complete 10-day hourly outlook, personal surf windows, smart alerts when the forecast changes, unlimited favorite spots and confidence explained in detail. Billed through the App Store; renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. In English, Português (Brasil) and Español. No account needed — AYON Passport is optional. Forecast guidance only. AYON Wave does not certify that surfing is safe, and conditions change quickly. Always check local warnings, watch the water and surf within your ability. AYON Wave is part of AYON Coastal Intelligence by AYON Ecosystem. Wind. Waves. Coast. One intelligence system.
