Specifications, inventory, hands-free logbook, jobs, anchor alarm. One app for everything you need to keep track of, designed to work mid-ocean without signal.
Voice transcription runs on your phone — no signal, no problem. Cloud sync is opportunistic, never required. Cross the Atlantic without the app degrading.
Hold the button, speak naturally, release. Wind, position, course, sails — extracted automatically into structured data. Audio kept for verification. Searchable forever.
End-to-end encrypted sync (we can't read it). One-tap export to a documented open format. Optional self-managed backups. Account-less mode supported.
One-time purchase plus optional cheap sync subscription. No third-party trackers. We don't analyse your boat data for any purpose other than making this app work for you.
You're on watch alone in the cockpit. It's raining lightly. The wind has just clocked from NW to N — you can feel it in the sail. You want to log it before it slips your mind, but it's dark, your hands are wet, and you're holding on with one of them.
You pull out your phone. Hold the voice button. "Wind shift north fifteen knots." Release. The entry is logged with timestamp, GPS position, and structured wind data — extracted from what you said, on your phone, no signal needed.
Most sailing apps treat your data as theirs. We don't. The principles page is in the app itself, viewable offline, written plainly. Here's the short version:
We're looking for cruising sailors to use Helm in real conditions before public launch. If you sail more than a week a year and you're on Android, we'd love your feedback.
We'll only email you about Helm. No newsletter, no marketing, no list-sharing.
Thanks — we'll be in touch when the beta opens.
