Planned features for iOS
These functions are on the list for the Logbook app. The order is not a roadmap with fixed dates — it shows what is being considered and worked on.
Last update: 8 Nov 2026, 11:42
Improve the view of a single log entry:
SignalK support.
Redesign consumer batteries
The statistics are outdated and need to be revised. In the process, the following new functions should be added:
This feature lets you list the sails on your boat so each log entry can show exact setup details.
In general, record costs for various categories in the entry:
Create a graphical polar chart for the sailboat based on the data in the log entries. In other words, at what TWA does the boat sail at what STW? Many sailboats come with a chart from the manufacturer, but the logbook shows what really happened.
Introduce crew management
The complication updates every 15 minutes because Apple limits updates to 100 times per 24 hours. If you are underway for only 8 hours a day, the complication can update roughly every 5 minutes.
Improve handling on the chart
Automatic log entry for jibes and tacks
Improvements to the existing PDF export
It creates a separate PDF for exporting a single page to prove nautical miles. You can also choose the date range.
In addition to the packing list, other curated and editable lists for:
Daily summary as a separate log entry. This entry has no time stamp, there is only one per day, and it holds the following:
The due date for maintenance entries is currently based only on time.
Using the radio
Every entry with a position and time can also show the azimuth and altitude of the sun.
In addition to water depth:
Some users need to change the logbook regularly (daily). It should be easy to see which one is selected and easy to change it without entering the settings.
You can set multiple auto-recording intervals
The track between two waypoints should show more detail when auto-recording, just like a GPX track.
Add an option to choose a Quick Manoeuvre after editing the note
The entry view needs updating. It no longer fits the overall look introduced in iOS 26. In addition:
An easy-to-read dashboard with large numbers, similar to a chartplotter display, showing key readings such as SOG, COG, TWS, TWD, AWD, and AWD. The aim is to let you check the current values below deck when needed.
Improvements for motorboats
Additional markings on the map
Additional PDF formats for export:
Since there is enough space on the iPad, show the map in the bottom-right area of the Detail-UISplitViewController.
This feature lets you or your crew sign safety briefings in the logbook using an Apple Pencil or your finger.
Let users select the exact cloud type.
Additional metadata in the logbook. At the moment, details such as vessel name, draft, build year, sail area, LOA, beam, engine, MMSI, call sign, home port, displacement, etc. are not in separate fields. Please show these as individual fields that users can fill in and reuse.
New mode (currently there are already engine, moored, buoy, sail, anchor, etc.):
A tool that lets you quickly measure distances on the map.
Evaluate AIS data via NMEA
A helpful tool for flags
We need better support for electric yachts.
For example, a restaurant on land. Show it on the map as a POI, but do not include it in the route—ignore both the on-screen track and the distance calculation.
While the app records automatically in the background, it should recognize a shake gesture and trigger a pre-set action. For example:
If you share a track with someone, the app should also display it. This would let two or more boats traveling together (at least to the same overnight anchorage) see each other’s position on the map and estimated time of arrival.
You should also be able to change weather values for several entries at once, just like you can with an entry’s status
Average consumption (calculated from your log) for fuel, electricity, and water helps you estimate how long your supplies will last.
Record humidity and automatically fill in data from the Internet if your weather provider supplies it.
Optionally, always measure heel automatically when the phone or tablet is lying on the navigation table, for example.
Add an export option to create a CG-719S form for the U.S. Coast Guard when applying for a license
Option to reset all settings in the app to factory defaults.
Ability to use the iOS feature for exporting data and creating entries
