KNRM Helps, the official app of the Royal Netherlands Sea Rescue Institution (KNRM), allows you to register your vessel and Sail Plan and track your trip on your smartphone. Follow the registration process to start using the app. You may either plan and file your trip (Sail Plan mode) or just activate the tracking function when starting your trip (Track only mode). For filing a planned trip choose your vessel, determine the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA), enter the number of persons on board and the activity type. After choosing the emergency contact(s), select a start point, an optional waypoint and the end destination in the built-in nautical maps. Once this is completed an optional checklist can be managed and you are ready to set sail. You, your emergency contacts and eventually the SAR authorities will be automatically alerted following a time scheme after the journey exceeds the ETA in Sail Plan mode. Pressing Set Sail in Sail Plan mode or Start in Track only mode will register the trip details with KNRM’s server and will activate position reporting in the app. At regular intervals, the app will send a position report to the server. At any stage during the trip you can end your trip, revise the ETA, number of people on board or the destination. Use the KNRM Helps app to: - Improve maritime trip planning with Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) data. - Quickly start tracking your trip using the Track only mode with at a touch of a button. Change the recording interval to save on battery consumption when your tracking is in progress. - Find nearby information on VHF channels, ports, KNRM lifeboat stations, waterways and junctions, diving spots, bunker stations, water sport shops, shipyards and repair shops and boat rental companies. - Give friends and family peace of mind ashore by sharing your real-time location on a live map, and allow them to track you while you’re on the water. - Access location-based, real-time weather and water info when planning your trip or when your trip is in progress. - Check valuable maritime safety information when both online and offline. - Create or manage your own personalised checklist to be included as part of your Sail Plan before departing. - Activate an Emergency or Assistance call by touching the Call for help button while your trip is in progress (iPhone only, not with iPAD). Manage your profile, vessel, checklist and emergency contact information. Continued use of GPS running in the background can considerably decrease battery life while in use.

Fitrater is a private style desk. Rate an outfit, build a wardrobe, try garments on your own body, and see any look staged like a magazine cover — all in one editorial workspace. SCORE Photograph the fit you are about to wear. Fitrater reads silhouette, fabric, palette, and occasion, then returns a numeric score with a short editorial note from Hem, a resident critic who writes like a magazine editor. No hearts, no streaks, no fluff. Just an honest read. STUDIO Save every piece you own. Studio holds a clean grid of your closet — coats, denim, knits, shoes — with tags for palette, silhouette, and season. Pieces are reusable: drop them into Try-on, into Cover, into a saved Look. TRY-ON Calibrate once with a full-length photo. From then on, any garment you upload — a Studio piece, a screenshot from a shop, a photo of a friend's coat — renders on your own body. See how the shoulder sits, how the hem lands, how the color reads against your skin, before the parcel arrives. COMPOSE COVER Turn a Try-on or a saved Look into a magazine spread. Pick a template — Editorial, High Fashion, Street — and Fitrater composes the shot with typography, cover lines, and a masthead. Save it to Journal, share it, or keep it as a private mood. JOURNAL Every score, every generated cover, every Try-on is kept in a quiet timeline. Filter by season, by score, by palette. Weekly Wrapped surfaces your highest-rated looks and the pieces that carried them. YOU Style DNA is a lightweight profile the app builds from what you wear and what you save. It shapes the tone of Hem's notes and the templates Cover suggests. You can edit it, reset it, or turn it off. HEM Hem is the resident critic. Every score arrives with a line from Hem — a sentence, sometimes two, in the voice of a magazine editor. No emojis. No exclamation. Just the read. PRIVACY Photos are stored in your private account. Rendering is performed by our AI vendor for the length of the request and is not retained for training. You can delete any photo, any score, and your account at any time from Settings. PRO Fitrater is free to try. Fitrater Pro unlocks unlimited scoring, unlimited Studio pieces, higher-resolution Try-on and Cover renders, brutal-mode critiques, and the weekly Sunday Letter from Hem. Credit packs are available for one-off Try-on and Cover renders without a subscription. Fitrater is a workspace for the way you actually get dressed. It is not a social network. There is no feed. There are no followers. There is only your closet, your body, and a critic who will tell you the truth.
