About

Hooked

Features
Read full description

A fishing log that lives on your phone, not in the cloud. No account, no signal, no subscription. Open it, log your catch, and get back to fishing before the next bite. LOG A CATCH IN SECONDS Pick the species and save. Nothing else is required. Add length, weight, gear, conditions, notes or a photo when you want to. You decide how much to log before getting back to fishing. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS Every catch you log sharpens the picture. Personal records, biggest fish, top species, catch rates, averages, trends across the season. You start to see what actually puts fish in the net: which spots, which baits, which gear. MAP YOUR SPOTS Drop a private pin on every catch. Find that productive bend in the river again next season, see which spots really deliver, and keep them off everyone else's radar. Your map is yours alone. Nothing is ever shared. THE FISH YOU ACTUALLY CHASE A species list that knows where you fish. North American anglers get largemouth and smallmouth bass, walleye, crappie, bluegill, catfish, trout, pike and the rest. European anglers keep their own lineup. Names show in English or Spanish, and you can type in anything as free text. YOUR GEAR, YOUR WAY Save your rod, reel, line and tackle as gear profiles, then attach one with a single tap. Group catches into sessions so every trip stands on its own. CONDITIONS, HANDLED FOR YOU Got signal? Hooked quietly stamps each session with the weather, tide (saltwater) and moon phase. No typing. Offline, it stays out of your way. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE FIRST No backend. No cloud sync. No ads. No subscription. Your data sits on your device and stays yours. Export a backup whenever you want. BUILT FOR ANGLERS • Metric or imperial, your call • English or Spanish, switch anytime • Dark interface made for dawn starts and glare off the water • Fast, focused, zero social media noise Rivers, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries or open sea, Hooked keeps the record of your whole season. Every cast. Every catch. Tight lines.
