One app for the whole paddle.

Plan it, check the water, paddle it, and get home. Here's everything inside, and what's free.

Routes with the boring bits done.

Browse community routes, or draw your own. The builder snaps to the water and totals distance as you go.

Curated and community routes: every one paddled by a real person, with launch, parking, portages and hazards marked.
Route builder: tap waypoints on the map; distance, typical time and escape points update live.
Honest numbers: 12.4 km, two portages, three to four hours. No surprises at the get-out.
GPX import: bring lines you already have; export to watch or plotter with Pro.pro
Strava and Apple Health: connect Strava and choose which of your existing paddle activities to import, including route geometry where Strava has it. Export completed paddles to Apple Health as Paddle Sports workouts.

The conditions screen for a route: a score for the day, wind along each section of the route, and live water checks.

A forecast that knows your route.

Generic weather apps tell you it's breezy. Paddle Routes reads the wind against the direction you're actually paddling, the tide against your timings, and the river gauge against the range this route's contributor recorded as runnable, for the window you actually plan to paddle. Coverage varies by area and provider, and it's shown on the card.

Offshore-wind flag: the killer detail most forecasts bury.
River levels & flood alerts: live Environment Agency gauge data against the range the route's contributor recorded as runnable, where a gauge covers it.
Best departure windows: compare the coming forecast before choosing when to launch.
03 · on the water

Follow the line. Phone in the dry bag.

Big glanceable numbers, a clear line to follow, and a nudge if you drift off it. Everything works with wet thumbs and gloves.

Record every paddle: distance, time, speed and splits, auto-paused when you stop for the flask.
Apple Watch: start a paddle from your wrist and leave the phone stowed. The completed paddle stays on the Watch until your iPhone confirms it has it.
Off-route nudge: a vibration when you're drifting; useful in estuaries where every creek looks the same.
Offline maps: download a route before you lose signal.pro
Paddle analytics: splits, pace trends and distance over the season.pro
A paddle being recorded: distance, elapsed time and speed across the top, the live map below, and pause and hold-to-finish controls.

Included for everyone on the current free plan.

Every one of these currently ships with the free app.

Live Beacon
Share a live link before you launch. Whoever holds it sees your latest reported position and how long ago it updated. No account, no app install. It needs your phone to have power and signal.
Float plans
Route, party size, and when you expect to be off the water. Miss your expected return and your selected contacts can be notified with the plan and the last position your phone managed to send.
Emergency screen
One tap: the emergency number for where you are, your GPS position and what3words, readable at arm's length in the rain.
