TideWatch
Live ship tracker on your iPhone.
TideWatch shows every vessel near you in real time using live AIS data. Pan the map, tap a ship, see name, flag, speed, heading, and destination.
[ 01 ] What it does
- 01 Live AIS data — every nearby vessel updates in real time on the map.
- 02 Tap a ship for name, type, flag, speed, heading, and destination.
- 03 Uses your location only to centre the map — never stored, never transmitted.
- 04 No accounts, no tracking, no Hjortsholm-operated server in between.
[ 02 ] Data & privacy
TideWatch does not store your location or your map history. Your device requests AIS data for the area you are viewing, displays it, and moves on.
No analytics, no tracking, no crash reporters route through our servers.
Third-party services
-
Provides live AIS vessel data for the map area you are viewing.
