Thanks for testing.

1. Install it (iPhone)

• Get Apple's free TestFlight app from the App Store.
• Tap the invite link from Brady, then Accept and Install.
• Android: coming soon. Tell Brady you're interested.

2. Set it up at home

• Enter your first name and your boat's name, length and color (the color helps rescuers spot you).
• Add one family member's mobile number. They get one text asking them to reply YES. Ask them to reply, or nothing else reaches them.
• Heads up: for the next few weeks the texts say Boat Day, the app's old name. Same app, same number.
• Allow location Always and notifications. Location is only used during a trip you start.

3. On your next trip

• Tap Start trip at the ramp and set an honest return time.
• Put the phone away, locked. Your family gets a text with a live map link.
• Back at the ramp, the app asks if you're back. Confirm and your family gets a "back" text.
• Running late? Tap +30 min, or Running late to add an hour and text your family "all good", so nobody gets a false alarm.

Heading past cell range? Read what happens when you lose signal.

What we need from you

Please know

• This is a test version. Phones, batteries and cell service can fail. Keep filing a float plan with someone ashore, carry your VHF, and call the Coast Guard (VHF 16) or 911 in an emergency.
• Testers get any future paid features free, for life.
