Remote Command, Routing and Passage Workflow

iPad Companion App

The iPad app includes all core helm functions and adds a map-centric control station for strategic decisions without weakening command acknowledgement.

Suite Overview Safety + AI

What The App Handles

All core helm functionality from the main UI display is available in the iPad app.
Mode and maneuver commands include queued and acknowledgement feedback.
WORK mode entry, exit and status all stay visible.
Waypoint and route operations are separated into dedicated pages for clarity.
Track-map views and CSV exports support post-passage review.
Automatic local track logging runs every 10 minutes when underway, including position, heading, speed and weather, and is visible and exportable from app workflows.
Weather tactical pages and corridor visualization are built in.
Sail recommendations and early-squall advisories appear as actionable guidance cards.
All settings and configuration are stored centrally, so changes are shared across the main screen, all UI/LCD modules, and the iPad app.

Traffic, Alarms And Safety Workflow

AIS/RADAR warnings are shown in app-level alert context.
Alarm acknowledgement stays synchronized with helm state.
The obstacle-avoid flow includes an explicit resume-route action.
The design keeps warning handling fast and unambiguous offshore.
Night-focused warning design supports earlier reaction when visibility is reduced.

Scale And Engineering

Built as a full native app for operational reliability.
The codebase now exceeds 20,000 lines and continues to evolve.
Total active module code is now above 240,000 lines, excluding external libraries.
The UI keeps control concepts consistent with the helm display logic.
It is designed for quick use under fatigue and at night.
From a software perspective, multiple iPads are effectively unlimited; the practical limits are network capacity and onboard operating policy.

Near-Term Roadmap

Dual-camera ingest, bow and aft, to assist incoming-wave prediction.
Video-informed sea-state cues feeding the advisory layers.
A tighter connection between camera cues, weather context and prevention recommendations.
Expanded tactical overlays for ocean-passage decision support.

Planned Long-Passage Workflow

Create route drafts, compare weather-corridor options, validate wind-angle risks before GOTO, and resume the route safely after tactical dodge actions.

**Track View and Export**
Track visualization with range controls and CSV export.

More Features Across The Suite

Current page focus: Remote command and map-centric passage workflow.

The suite is much broader than a traditional autopilot. It is a complete singlehanded offshore assistance stack covering steering, weather intelligence, safety sensing, logging and post-passage analysis.

Adaptive anti-hunt steering tuned to real sea motion

Standard NMEA2000 interoperability plus a private high-speed NMEA core exchange

Cross-vendor NMEA2000 compatibility with Raymarine, Garmin, Simrad and more

Maneuver-aware route behavior with avoid-and-resume workflow

AI prevention layer for broach, surf and pitchpole tendency

WORK mode for high-workload deck and sail operations

AI sail recommendations for fore/main trim and reefing stability

Hazard diagnostics with recovery counters and reason traces

Onboard and cloud weather fusion with deterministic offline fallback

72-hour weather-corridor planning and INTELS tactical context

Track and voyage logging for weather, position and boat-status history

Owner-performance polar review on iPad and server, with same-condition better/worse comparison

Local Weather Box JSON export for weather, INTELS, corridor and wide-area hazard feeds

Automatic periodic SailingKSF reporting with position, heading, weather and sea state

Dedicated supporter and family follow pages with live voyage context

Automatic local track logging every 10 minutes while underway, with export for analysis

Emergency 1/2/3 escalation with automatic shore updates and SMS/email contact alerts

AIS/RADAR warning and alarm workflow across helm, iPad and voice

Pressure-trend plus gust/shift fusion for earlier squall warnings, especially at night

Voice alarms and structured escalation for fatigue-resistant awareness

Sensor safety integration for lightning, gas, fire and air quality

Configurable 4x analog + 8x digital protected inputs with relay and voice actions

Native iPad workflow for routes, waypoints and tactical map use

Roadmap: dual bow and aft cameras for incoming-wave prediction support

Feedback And Comments

This project is still work in progress, and I would genuinely like feedback on what is missing, what feels unclear, and what would be most useful offshore. The first sea trial is planned for spring 2026, and every comment is reviewed by me before it appears publicly.

No public comments yet. You can be the first to add feedback.

Built For Singlehanded Offshore Reality

These public pages focus on what the suite actually delivers offshore: steadier steering, fail-safe automation, and practical AI support that reduces workload without taking control away from the skipper.
