CaptainsDeck vs MetaCAD Pocket

CaptainsDeck brings your boat's entire operation into one app: pre-departure checks, issue tracking, tank and fuel management, engine-hour based maintenance and a digital logbook. A CHECKLIST BUILT FOR YOUR BOAT - 74 brands, 1000+ models. Model-specific items (IPS pod check, shaft seal, saildrive bellows…) are included automatically. - Boat not listed? Add your own: pick propulsion and equipment, and the checklist is generated for your boat. - Edit technical values (tanks, cabins, seacocks) to match your boat; count targets and liter math update instantly. ISSUES AND NOTES - Photo-based issue logs; compare two photos side by side or as an overlay to track changes (perfect for bilge monitoring). TANKS AND COSTS - Fuel, water, grey/black levels; receipt-photo fuel logs; monthly and yearly fuel cost summary. Liters/gallons and currency options. MAINTENANCE AND REMINDERS - Engine-hour counter, rules like "oil every 100 hrs" with color countdowns, and dated reminders (flare expiry, raft service) with notifications. LOGBOOK AND REPORTS - Trips with departure/arrival, route, crew and engine hours; ending a trip updates the maintenance counter automatically. - Export the checklist as a signed PDF report for marinas, insurers or charter handovers. CREW SHARING - One share code keeps your captain and crew on the same boat: checks, issues, tank logs and trips sync across devices. Joining requires the owner's approval; access can be revoked anytime. Works fully offline — no internet needed at sea. No account required; your data stays on your device. Note: Catalog values are approximations derived from class typicals and can be edited in-app. CaptainsDeck is an aid and does not replace official maritime regulations or manufacturer instructions.

MetaCAD Pocket is the iPhone and iPad companion to metacad.io for practical marine work. Open a tool, keep its work on your device, and return when you need it. MARINE QUICK TOOLS Use the searchable library for passage time, required speed, current set and drift, fuel planning, endurance, bunkering, cargo work, stowage factor, under-keel clearance, and compass course. See the input assumptions and save results as local Cases linked to a Vessel profile. SEA SERVICE & USCG FORMS Keep service days by vessel, review gaps and calculations, and prepare unsigned CG-719S drafts and Sea Service Letters from the same records. Preview forms and review preparation checks before sharing. The journal and previews are free. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks PDF export; there is no subscription. The App Store displays the current price. SHIP STABILITY Run advisory checks for corrected GM, free surface, cargo moves and additions, heel, roll period, and water-density draft change. WORK ON YOUR DEVICE Saved Cases and sea service records stay on this device. Open metacad.io for more marine calculators and guides; the website does not automatically sync Pocket records. Important: Sea service forms are unsigned drafts for your review, not a guarantee of USCG acceptance. Stability and quick-tool results are advisory and are not an approved loading computer or substitute for voyage planning. Verify inputs and results against vessel documents, applicable rules, and professional judgement.
