Logbook

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: 30 Jul 2026, 13:13

  • No. 1LOGT

    Log tab

    Improve the view of a single log entry:

  • No. 2STAT

    Statistics

    The statistics are outdated and need to be revised. In the process, the following new functions should be added:

  • No. 3POLR

    Polar diagram

    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.

  • No. 4CREW

    Crew

    Introduce crew management

  • No. 5PDFX

    PDF export

    Improvements to the existing PDF export

  • No. 6WATC

    Apple Watch complication

    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.

  • No. 7IGOW

    Daily summary

    Daily summary as a separate log entry. This entry has no time stamp, there is only one per day, and it holds the following:

    Improve handling on the chart

  • No. 12HRSM

    log entry type

  • No. 15SIGK

    SignalK

    SignalK support.

  • No. 16CHLB

  • No. 17NITE

    Night detection

    Every entry with a position and time can also show the azimuth and altitude of the sun.

    Redesign consumer batteries

  • No. 28ENHO

    log entry

    The entry view needs updating. It no longer fits the overall look introduced in iOS 26. In addition:

  • No. 29SHAK

    Shaking gesture

    While the app records automatically in the background, it should recognize a shake gesture and trigger a pre-set action. For example:

    Weather data bulk edit

    You should also be able to change weather values for several entries at once, just like you can with an entry’s status

  • No. 31IPWL

    Sail tack/jibe

    Automatic log entry for jibes and tacks

  • No. 32META

    Metadata

    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.
