A private fishing journal

Your fishing life, kept together.

Log every catch. Keep your personal bests, your sessions and every water you fish. Then read the bank: bite windows, river levels and tides, all in one calm, private place.

Today on the bank

Read the water before you cast.

The intelligence anglers actually use, pulled from public sources when you want it and calculated on your phone when you don't.

Bite windows

Major and minor feeding periods, sunrise and sunset, moon phase and a day rating. Worked out on your device from the date and your location, so it needs no signal.

Major period9:30 – 11:30

Solunar, calculated locally

River levels

Nearby gauge levels and flow, with a twelve-reading trend so you can see whether the river is rising, dropping or holding.

Your record

Everything a journal should keep.

No feed, no noise. Just your catches, your waters and your days on the bank, in a place built to be looked back on.

The Vault

Your featured personal best, a PB board per species, and a running tally of fish landed, species caught and waters kept.

Log a catch in seconds

Add a photo, pick a species, set a weight. Tap your saved rigs and baits instead of typing. Recent catches get the current weather added for you.

Waters & sessions

A private passport for each water with your own swim notes. Start and stop sessions to remember your hours on the bank, with a Live Activity while you fish.

Insights

Catches over time, species and water breakdowns, and the rig and bait behind most of your fish. Patterns you can actually act on.

Year on the Water

A shareable season summary: fish landed, total weight, biggest fish and hours spent. Plus a Season Book PDF to keep.

Fishes anywhere

Metric or imperial, carp, coarse, match, game, sea or predator. Add your own species and water types. Identify a fish from a photo with iNaturalist.

Your swim stays yours.
