About CapMate

CapMate is an app for cruising sailors and charter crews on phone and tablet (iPhone, iPad, Android, foldables) and watch (Apple Watch, Wear OS, Garmin). It watches the anchor at night and wakes the watch-keeper on the wrist, and mirrors the boat's own instruments — depth, wind, speed, AIS — on the same watch, reading them straight from the plotter on board.

Key facts

• Anchor watch with GPS-drift filtering, auto-start when the anchor goes down and auto-stop when it comes up, free of charge, no account needed.
• Man-overboard alert and official marine weather warnings are free as well.
• Boat instruments on the watch: apparent and true wind, depth with a shallow-water alert, speed, course, nearby AIS targets — read from the boat's own plotter.
• Plotters: B&G, Simrad and Lowrance connect directly; most other plotters connect through any NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 Wi-Fi gateway, or Signal K. Full list at capmate.app/plotters.
• Watches: Apple Watch (Series 6 and later, SE, Ultra), Wear OS (Galaxy Watch and others), and 52 Garmin models including fēnix, epix, Forerunner and quatix.
• World map for sea, rivers, lakes and reservoirs, with offline regions; route planning for sail, motor or mixed passages.
• Weather as a map layer from five forecast models, official marine warnings worldwide, and a go/no-go check against the crew's own limits.
• No account required to use the free features; no ads or analytics inside the app; the anchor watch and map work offline; your data can be exported (GPX, CSV, full archive).
• Available in 10 languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Ukrainian, Russian.
