Compass Toolkit

Compass Toolkit puts a whole outdoor navigation kit in one beautifully crafted app. At its heart is a stunning brass-amber marine compass — a real, gorgeously rendered instrument that shows heading, cardinal points and true vs magnetic north, so orienting yourself feels like holding a fine piece of gear rather than reading a flat dial. Around it sits everything an explorer needs: precise GPS coordinates in DMS, decimal or UTM you can copy and share; live altitude and barometric pressure; a digital bubble level for setting up a tripod, hanging a shelf at camp or checking a slope; sun and moon rise and set times with golden-hour and blue-hour windows for photographers; and waypoints you can drop, name and see together on a map. When you find somewhere worth remembering, a share-location card turns your spot into a clean, sendable snapshot. Compass Toolkit works offline — the compass, coordinates, altitude, level and sun & moon calculations all run entirely on your device with no signal needed; only the waypoint map loads Apple map tiles when you happen to have a connection. It is 100% on-device with no account and no tracking: your data stays on your device and is never uploaded to us or anyone else. Native and universal, it's designed to feel just as at home on iPad as on iPhone.
