Santana Sailing vs Upwind

Santana is a sailing tracker for iPhone and Apple Watch. Record your time on the water with one tap, then review every session on a map with the wind data layered on top — no account, no subscription, and nothing leaves your phone unless you ask. RECORD ANYWHERE Start a recording from the wrist on Apple Watch or from your iPhone. The watch keeps logging even when your wrist is down, and the session transfers to your phone when you're back in range. REVIEW WITH DEPTH Every session opens to an interactive map with your track coloured by speed. Pull up the bottom sheet for max speed, average, distance, and duration. GPS outliers can be excluded with a per-session speed cap that keeps them visible on the chart but leaves them out of the averages. WIND, ADDED AUTOMATICALLY After a session ends, Santana fetches the historical wind speed, direction, and gusts from Open-Meteo for the area you sailed. The wind graph lines up with your speed graph so you can see how your boat reacted to each shift. Optional — toggle off in Settings if you'd rather your data stay fully offline. COMBINE SESSIONS Select multiple sessions on the list to view them all on one map, colour-coded per session. Useful for "show me my whole season" or "compare these three races side by side." PRIVACY BY DEFAULT - No account, no signup, no subscription. - All your sailing data is stored on your iPhone. There is no Santana server. - Location is used only while you're actively recording. - Open-Meteo receives a coordinate and a time range only when wind enrichment is enabled. No identifier follows the request. REQUIREMENTS - iPhone running iOS 17 or later. - Apple Watch running watchOS 10.2 or later (optional, but where Santana shines for hands-free sailing). A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR Built by a single sailor for sailors. If something's not right, email felixbeuving.fb@gmail.com and you'll usually hear back within a day or two.

Upwind is a sailing tracker for Apple Watch, iPhone and iPad: live speed, course and manoeuvres, and every outing recorded with a speed-colored track. Free, with no accounts and no ads. INSTRUMENTS - SOG (speed over ground) in knots, big and readable at a glance - COG (course over ground) written on a compass ribbon - Six live values: COG, distance, average, MAX 10s, manoeuvres and peak - MAX 10s: the best 10-second average, so a wave or a GPS glitch can't inflate it - Tacks and gybes counted while you sail - Speed chart of the whole outing, with time and speed axes - Instruments or Map view on iPhone, portrait and landscape; iPad shows everything on one screen - iPhone Duo support - Automatic night mode: red instruments after sunset to preserve night vision LOCK SCREEN AND DYNAMIC ISLAND While recording on iPhone, speed and course stay on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with time, distance and the last 10 minutes of speed. Keep the phone locked: the track keeps recording. RECORDING - Explicit Rec button: recording never starts on its own - Speed-colored track, from cyan (slow) to coral (fast), scaled to your session - Recording keeps going in light air and at anchor with the screen off - Sessions saved to Health as Sailing workouts with their route (with your permission) WATCH, IPHONE OR BOTH - Apple Watch records standalone with its own GPS: big speed, compass with your course, live manoeuvres - iPhone and iPad are full trackers too, with live map and instruments - Sessions sync automatically between your devices through iCloud AFTER THE SAIL - Each session shows distance, duration, average, MAX 10s, manoeuvres and peak - Tacks and gybes marked on the map: tap one and the chart jumps to that moment - Scrub through the speed chart: speed, time and position at any moment - Standard or satellite map - Share sessions via AirDrop, export GPX, import GPX from other apps - Nautical coordinates (degrees and decimal minutes) - A Glossary explains every abbreviation and how values are worked out PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no developer servers, no ads, no analytics. Your data stays on your devices and in your private iCloud. TIPS - For sessions longer than a couple of hours, record with an iPhone or iPad connected to onboard power - On iPad, GPS requires a Wi-Fi + Cellular model Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
