About

FishMarker

Features
Read full description

FishMarker is a private fishing log for anglers who want to catch more on purpose. Log every fish with its species, size, weight, a photo, and the conditions that produced it, then let FishMarker show you the pattern. No account, no ads, no tracking. Everything lives on your device and in your private iCloud, and syncs across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. LOG A CATCH IN UNDER A MINUTE Species, length, weight, released or kept, and a photo from your library. A game-fish list and a lure list are built in, so the fields fill fast. Time of day comes straight from the catch time. THE CONDITIONS THAT PRODUCE Every catch records the weather, the water clarity, the water temperature, the time of day, and the lure or bait. That is the raw material for finding your pattern. SEE WHAT IS PRODUCING FishMarker charts your catches by month and breaks them down by weather, water, time of day, and lure, so you can see what actually puts fish in the net. Your release rate and best month are one tap away. A SPECIES LIFE LIST Every species you land joins your life list, biggest first, with the personal best length and weight and the photo of the fish that set it. PRIVATE SPOTS Save the water you fish with your own notes on depth, structure, and the pattern that works. Pin a spot by typing coordinates yourself; FishMarker never tracks your location. TRIPS AND GEAR CHECKLISTS Plan an outing and build its gear checklist so nothing gets left behind. Start from a bank day, boat trip, fly fishing, or ice fishing pack, then set an optional local reminder for the morning of the trip. EXPORT WHAT IS YOURS Pro exports your catch log and species life list as clean CSV files with ISO dates, and a printable PDF season report with your summary, records, and patterns. ON EVERY SCREEN YOU OWN FishMarker syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud. The iPad and Mac layout puts your dashboard and charts side by side. Choose inches or centimeters, pounds or kilograms, Fahrenheit or Celsius once, and everything follows. FREE VS PRO Free logs 15 catches and 2 spots with every tool: the catch log, conditions, pattern insights, the species life list, and trip checklists. Pro unlocks unlimited catches, unlimited spots, and the CSV and PDF exports. Monthly $3.99 USD, yearly $24.99 USD, or a one-time lifetime unlock for $59.99 USD. FishMarker is a personal log for your own records. Log, look for the pattern, catch more. Pro subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.
