v4.21.0 - Trip Details Rebuilt; New Boats & Costs Experience

Sep 18 2026

Added

  • Logbook
    • Trip details, rebuilt: a completely new trip detail sheet — route summary card, KPI tiles for distance, duration, speed and average speed, and compact duration/speed labels. A map / weather / cover switcher lets you view the trip's track, live Windy weather, or the cover photo without leaving the screen. Track endpoints are now marked apart: start, waypoints and finish each get their own marker, with anchor and flag icons. Autologger now appears as its own section on the sheet.
    • Costs on trips: a costs section on the trip sheet, with each cost iconed by its category, and a dedicated screen listing every cost on a trip — tap a cost to edit it straight from the trip.
    • Photos & files on trips: a photos & files section on the trip sheet, plus a screen listing all of a trip's files; attach files to a trip directly from the details sheet, and change or remove the trip's cover photo from the cover sheet.
    • Manual logs now name the person who wrote them; autologged entries are tagged with the agent that created them and are hidden from the all-logs screen.
  • Boats
    • A new boat details screen, led by the boat's cover photo; edit a boat's personalisation from its own page.
    • Add-boat rebuilt end to end on the new step design, ending on your boats list when you're done.
    • Create a brand-new boat model from scratch if yours isn't in the catalogue.
    • Manage a boat's licence in a sheet; delete a boat with a confirmation that shows everything that goes with it.
    • The boats list now reads from the device, so it works offline.
  • Costs
    • Record a cost in a foreign currency — the exchange rate is shown on the cost and can be edited. Every seeded cost category now has its own icon on cost cards throughout the app.
  • Files
    • The file picker can be restricted to images only where a photo is what's wanted.
  • Tasks
    • Sort the tasks list by status in real workflow order (not alphabetically).

Updated

  • General
    • Files are now referenced by UUID everywhere (covers, thumbnails, downloads, previews) — this is what makes offline file handling reliable.
    • Settings and your account details now come from the REST API, with the user request cached.
    • Removed the offline banner and the last of the legacy Formik add-boat flow; Expo and Clerk packages updated.
  • Logbook
    • Trip sheet polish throughout — actions pinned to the footer, smaller footer buttons, photos section hidden when there's nothing in it, map buttons on white discs, mode switcher moved to the bottom right and rounded, cover controls stacked above it. The trip files screen is now one continuous list, and the logs section shows the latest logs.
  • Boats
    • Form fields use proper keyboards and capitalisation for each value type.

Fixed

  • General
    • Data sync: JSON columns upload correctly, the search index rebuilds when its columns change, and a deleted trip properly releases its files and costs. Unit preferences fall back to metric instead of imperial, and a race when the settings form first loads is fixed.
  • Boats
    • Boat card covers are properly rounded on Android; the second row of boat summary tiles lines up.
  • Logbook
    • Footer buttons no longer fly down when the sheet opens, and respond correctly to gestures. Only images can be picked as a trip cover. Trip rejections are handled properly with a clearer error message.
    • The edit-log form no longer demands a name; unsynced manual logs are no longer swept up by the autolog filter.
  • Files
    • A file you just uploaded stays attached while its record finishes syncing.
  • Costs
    • Costs can now be attached to a trip.

v4.20.0 - Consolidation of Custom-fields, Custom-categories, Settings, etc; Many Updates and Fixes

Sep 02 2026

Added

  • Custom fields: Define your own fields - Alphanumeric, Number, Date or Pick-list - and use them across Inventory, Tasks, Costs, Trips, Checklists and Boats. Manage them from Settings → Custom fields, switching between modules with the new pill tabs. Every create and edit form gets a dedicated Custom fields tab where you fill the values in, and they save and sync with the record
  • Custom categories across modules: the manage-categories screen now has the same module switcher, so categories for each module live in one place
  • Settings home: one screen gathering your profile, Preferences, Notifications, Custom categories, Custom locations, Custom sub-locations, Custom fields, Help & support and Sign out - with counts shown next to your customisations and the app version at the bottom
  • Preferences screen: set Units, Currency, Time zone, Date format, Time format, First day of week, Decimal symbol and Digit grouping symbol, each from its own picker sheet with search where the list is long
  • Redesigned notification inbox: Unread / All / Archived tabs, swipe actions with undo, snooze, archive and delete, bulk actions, loading skeletons, richer empty states and an offline banner so you know when the list is stale
  • Redesigned notification settings: per-channel preferences grouped into sections, a master switch, a banner when push is blocked at the OS level, plus clear empty and unavailable states
  • New onboarding: "Choose your units" and "Select your currency" steps, a progress indicator counted across the whole flow, an entrance animation and a success screen at the end

Updated

  • Custom fields: the paywall now opens from the custom fields tab itself, replacing the old in-form upsell — swiping onto the tab brings the sheet up and returns you to the form
  • Settings changes: now confirm with a toast telling you whether the save succeeded
  • Currency settings: unified into a single input instead of separate ones, and picking a decimal symbol keeps the digit-grouping symbol from matching it
  • Invalid-submit notification: now names the field that is blocking you and marks the tab it lives on, so you don't have to hunt through tabs
  • Faster Inventory edit form: initial values are read in one batch and the loading state is scoped to the form instead of the whole screen
  • Number fields: respect their value limits, with the input's maximum length derived from them
  • Profile, settings and push device tokens: now go through the REST API.
  • Sign-out: is now smoother, and settings moved out of the header user button into the tab bar
  • Buttons: gained a size option that scales their icon too; toggles gained an optional tint
  • Under the hood: Expo, Novu and TrueSheet upgraded, deprecated storage removed, and sync stream priorities and joins tuned for faster, better-ordered syncing

Fixed

  • General
    • Notification tapping: now opens the right screen
    • A date custom field fixed: set to "today" saved incorrectly on iOS
    • A number custom field fixed: could be stored with two decimal separators
    • Creating a trip could fail silently fixed: the app now tells you why it won't save
    • Onboarding: finishing setup no longer wedges the flow, the redirect to "add a boat" works, leaving the flow is clean, and the currency list fills the screen down to the footer
    • Custom field sheet edits: when not completed, edits are discarded when the sheet closes instead of lingering
    • Cancelled request during sync startup (caused by the notifications provider's placement): no longer surfaces as a sync failure

v4.19.0 - Inventory: Maintenance, Current and Historical Usage, Operations Log, etc

Aug 25 2026

Added

  • Inventory
    • Maintenance tab: on both the create and edit inventory screens
    • Current usage card with an edit sheet: tap to update an item's current reading in a bottom sheet; confirming a starting reading when creating an item works the same way
    • Usage history list: see every usage reading logged against an item, in order
    • Usage readings recorded as operations logs: confirming or editing a reading writes an operations log entry, so mobile and dashboard show the same history
  • Checklists
    • Public checklists: browsing, details, follow and copy-to-my-checklists now run on the new REST API, with a redesigned card list, empty state and "unavailable" state

Updated

  • Logbook
    • Logs
      • Location is now optional on operations logs — you can create and edit an operations log without picking a location
      • Usage readings are logged when they're confirmed rather than silently written on every save, so the history reflects real user actions instead of form submissions

Fixed

  • General
    • Applied an Expo patch that was breaking the iOS build
  • Logbook
    • Trips
      • Logs with no location were being saved at 0,0: a missing location now stays genuinely empty instead of defaulting to null island
      • Trips that finish in the future now show as active, matching the dashboard
  • Costs
    • Cost amount fields share the same limit as the rest of the apps

v4.18.0 - New Checklists, Global Custom User-fields, Many Fixes

Aug 21 2026

Added

  • General
    • Attach several files at once, from within any form
    • An animated logo loader while data is loading
  • Logbook
    • Trips
      • Edit a trip offline with the new design
  • Files
    • Attach several files at once, from within any form
  • Costs
    • Costs as cards: tap a card to edit it, with a confirmation step before removing a cost

Updated

  • General
    • Skeleton placeholders on the dashboard and list (tables) screens while the first sync is still running
    • Form file fields are laid out as a column and show real thumbnails of your files
    • Expo (Mobile development) dependencies upgraded to their latest versions
    • Clerk (Authentication) dependencies upgraded to their latest versions
  • Dashboard
    • Dashboard widget totals are now calculated from your local (offline) data, so they're right even without a connection
    • If one dashboard widget fails, it no longer takes the whole dashboard down with it
  • Boats
    • The No-boat modal was replaced with an inline warning that doesn't interrupt you
  • Logbook
    • Trips
      • The Trip-status wording matches the web app: Active / Recording / Finished

Fixed

  • General
    • The file picker resets each time it opens and no longer offers files that haven't synced yet; the form's file field now stays in sync with the files table
    • Confirmation before removing an attachment now tells you exactly which file it is
  • Files
    • The file picker resets each time it opens and no longer offers files that haven't synced yet; the form's file field now stays in sync with the files table
    • Confirmation before removing an attachment now tells you exactly which file it is
  • Costs
    • Total costs are now gross, with VAT/GST included
    • Currency picker validation when adding a cost
    • New costs are saved with the correct name when the parent record has none
    • Cost amount can no longer be 0 or empty
    • Number inputs are capped so you are protected from entering unrealistic values

v4.17.0 - Quality Improvements: Sync-status & Error Notifications plus Unit-testing

Aug 14 2026

Added

  • General
    • Record errors banner: records that failed validation or processing now surface an inline banner instead of failing silently
    • Sync error surfaces: sync failures are now inspectable, in a bottom sheet. Users can see what didn't sync and why
    • Warning on records tied to a disabled boat: existing records still referencing a disabled boat now show a warning so the state isn't invisible
    • Developer section added: links out to the docs page
    • Unit testing introduced: first test coverage landed on both codebases
  • Boats
    • Disabled boats are no longer selectable: they're excluded from boat pickers across both apps
    • Warning on records tied to a disabled boat: existing records still referencing a disabled boat now show a warning so the state isn't invisible
