Digital logbook app for commercial fishing.

The skipper speaks the log through long trips and night shifts, and it syncs when the boat is back in coverage.

Fishing vessels spend long days and sometimes weeks at sea, often out of coverage, with small crews working through the night. Catch reporting runs through its own systems, while the vessel, crew and safety records still need to be kept on board. Typing into a phone with wet hands or gloves on is why digital logbooks go unused. Voice capture at the helm is what keeps the log current.

What it covers for
fishing operators

A digital logbook app for commercial boats: skippers speak the entry at the helm, and it is written, dated and saved against the vessel.

  • Voice entries written for the skipper to check
  • Departure, arrival, persons on board and engine hours
  • Weather, incidents and notes on each trip
  • Offline at sea, synced in coverage
  • Entries dated and linked to vessel and skipper
  • Search and export by vessel and date

Built around how fishing operators work

A paper logbook gets filled in when there is time, which on a working boat is often at the end of the day from memory. We build a logbook app where the skipper talks through departure, persons on board, engine hours, weather and anything that happened, and the entry is written for them to check and save, even out of coverage.

  • Records captured offline for days at sea
  • Crew rest across long trips and night work
  • Maintenance on hard-working engines and gear
  • Safety drills and incidents recorded at sea

Alongside your vessel software, or instead of it.

We build the tool around how your operation runs, as a web app for the office and an iOS and Android app for the boat, on our own post-trained models where they fit. Keep the software you use today and connect the two, or let the new tool take its place.

*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.

Straight answers

Does voice entry work on the water?

It is built for noisy, busy conditions and always shows the written entry for the skipper to check before saving. When speaking is not practical, typing does the same job.

Can crew add to an entry?

Yes. Crew can add notes, photos or incidents to a trip, with each addition recorded against the person who made it.

Does this replace our catch reporting?

No. Catch and position reporting run through their own required systems. This covers the vessel operations and safety side: the logbook, maintenance, crew and safety records.

How does it cope with long trips out of coverage?

Everything is captured and stored on the device and syncs back when the vessel returns to coverage, so a trip of any length is recorded in full.
