Maintenance and renewals surface before they lapse
Service intervals by date or engine hours, document and license expiries, and stock running low — on Home and in Alerts, with the record one tap away.
How readiness works
Boat maintenance, records, trips and documents — kept together on your Apple devices
Every boat keeps a record. On most boats, it’s a drawer.
Keep your boat’s equipment, maintenance, trips, documents, expenses and service history in one private record on your Mac, iPad and iPhone.
- Veteran-owned
- Built by a boat owner, on a working boat
- Seven manuals ship inside the app and open offline
- One month free, then from $9.99/month
In the app
From due, to done, to on the record
A service comes due. You open the equipment’s record and log the work. AFTWISE works out the next due from the hours you enter, and Alerts watches it from then on. Give it a date as well and it goes on the Calendar.
It tells you
Alerts
What the boat is reporting: overdue service, expiring documents, stock run down, a trip left open — each row opening the record it came from. Alert Texts, if you switch them on, put a Text button on the alerts you choose; it opens Messages with the wording and the recipient filled in, and you tap Send.
You open the exact record
The equipment record
Every piece of equipment gets a record like this. Here it is the demo boat’s generator: its service dates, with the hour meter above them and the maintenance history beneath.
You log it, and it works out the next one
Logging the service
Enter the meter reading and how often the service is due, and the next one is worked out in front of you: 384.2 hours now, every 200, next due at 584.2. A main engine works the same way from its own hours. Behind the sheet, the generator’s history.
What it makes easier
Four things you stop having to remember
Know what is aboard, and where it is
Every piece of gear keeps its manual, parts and history. A QR label on the filter opens its record in the engine room, and the Vessel Map (Cruiser) shows what is stowed where.
Equipment, fuel and the mapRun trips and checklists without losing the record
The plan becomes the trip and the checklist attaches to it. Hourly checks (Cruiser) write the log, and the close-out records the hours that move your service schedule. The shipped checklists are examples to start from, yours to change.
How the record builds itselfCredible records for insurance, a sale or a handoff
An insurance and total-loss inventory with values and photographs, eleven reports as PDF or CSV, sea service you can attest to, and a transfer package the next owner can open (Captain).
Records, reports and handoff
Who it’s for
Three kinds of boat. One way of keeping it.
A 20-foot center console and a 72-foot motor yacht have almost nothing in common except this: somebody has to know what’s aboard, when it was last serviced, and where the paperwork is.
Weekend and family boats
You bought it for the weekends, not the paperwork
The batteries, the flares, the impeller, the registration that expires in March. AFTWISE remembers them so Saturday is about leaving the dock.
How the record builds itself
Cruisers and Loopers
Cruising is a season made of small decisions
Locks, bridges, fuel, engine hours, the checks you run every hour under way. AFTWISE keeps the sequence straight and writes the record as you go.
Cruising & the Great Loop
Captains & managed yachts
It’s their boat. The record is your reputation
Sea service you can attest to, an inventory that stands up to an adjuster, and a handoff package the next captain can open.
Records, reports & handoff
Getting started
Useful in one evening. Complete it gradually.
You are not starting from an empty screen, and you are not asked to type your whole boat in on day one.
- A demonstration boat, your choice of a 54-foot trawler or a 23-foot center console, already filled in — so you see the finished shape first
- Quick Start walks you through six steps. Copy whatever fits straight off the demo boat, or bring in the spreadsheet you already keep
- Start with the dozen pieces of equipment that matter and the documents you have to hand. An evening gets most owners genuinely useful. A boat that has been in the family for fifteen years takes a few sessions, and that is normal
Your record stays yours
Kept on your devices, not on ours
On your devices, in your iCloud
AFTWISE keeps your vessel record on each of your devices, and iCloud sync keeps them the same through your own iCloud account. There is no server of ours to breach.
No AFTWISE account
Nothing to sign into, no password to lose, no email list you land on by installing the app. Your Apple ID handles the subscription.
Backup and export are yours
Backups, CSV exports and whole-vessel archives are files you hold, in formats that open without us.
Manuals inside the app
Seven manuals ship with AFTWISE and open offline. Mid-river with no bars is exactly when you need them.
How do my devices stay in sync? iCloud sync, on by default on every plan, through your own iCloud account under your Apple ID. Each device keeps a full copy, so the record opens without a signal and catches up when there is one. The full answer

Boat smarter. Live freer.
