THE PART A PAPER LOG CANNOT HOLD

Boats age by hours run, not by months

An oil interval from an engine manual is written in hours — and on a twin-rig boat the two engines never run exactly the same hours. That gap is a piece of state a ruled page cannot hold, and it is exactly what BoatLog keeps.

01

Hours, not months

Every item you track carries the interval you set — 100 hours, one season, a date — and BoatLog counts your hour-meter entries down against it. A boat that sat on the trailer all spring is not "due" just because time passed.

02

Twins stay independent

Each engine has its own hour meter and its own due list. The port impeller crossing its interval does not touch starboard's clock, so nothing gets serviced early — or worse, skipped because "the other one was fine".

03

You set every interval

From your manual, your mechanic, or your own judgment. BoatLog is a logger, not a mechanic — it never prescribes service, it tracks the plan you gave it.

TWIN OUTBOARDS, FROM THE APP'S SAMPLE DATA

  1. Port hours 612
  2. Starboard hours 588
  3. Port impeller Overdue
  4. Starboard impeller In hours

Same boat, same days on the water — but the port engine has crossed the impeller interval entered for it and the starboard one has not. Two engines, two clocks. Numbers from the app's sample data.

What it does

Six things, recorded properly. No account to make, nothing uploads.

  • 01

    Engine-hour tracking

    Set intervals from your manual — oil, impeller, gear lube, plugs — and BoatLog counts down in hours, not months.

  • 02

    Twins and triples

    Port and starboard log hours separately. One impeller can be overdue while the other still has hours left.

  • 03

    Service records with receipts

    Date, engine hours, cost, shop or DIY, parts, and up to three photos per job.

  • 04

    Winterization checklist

    A reusable checklist saved per boat, per season. Use it for lay-up and recommissioning.

  • 05

    Safety-gear expiries

    Flares and extinguishers tracked from the dates you enter, flagged in the app as they near expiry.

  • 06

    Cost per engine hour

    Total spend, spend by system, and cost per recorded engine hour — from the expenses you log.

The app itself

Three screens from the shipped build. Reel Time, Weekend Pass and the figures in them are sample data.

Scroll sideways, or use the arrow keys

Questions

Does BoatLog work offline?

Completely. There is no account or cloud sync — the log lives on your phone, and backups are files you keep.

How does it handle twin engines?

Each engine has its own hour meter in the app. Items attach to one engine and come due against that engine's hours alone.

Where do the service intervals come from?

From you. Enter what your engine manual or mechanic specifies; BoatLog tracks when each item is due from those hour or date intervals.

What happens when the trial ends?

Everything you logged stays readable. The $0 tier keeps one boat; Premium unlocks unlimited boats and exports, and removes ads.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. CSV for spreadsheets, a JSON backup you can restore on a new phone, and a PDF service history with your photos.

Is there an iPhone version?

Android only for now.

A logger, not a mechanic

BoatLog never prescribes service. It ships with no built-in intervals and makes no claim about what your engine needs — every interval it tracks is one you entered from your manual, your mechanic or your own judgment. It records what was done and counts hours and dates toward what you said comes next. The same line appears in the app and on the cover of every PDF it exports.

Start the log before the next oil change.

Add the boat, add its engines, enter the intervals from the manual — and from then on it is one hour-meter reading after each outing.
