Wave Lore is a mobile archive for capturing the state of the sea and coastline.
Users can create dated entries for each visit to the shore. Inside the app, they can note:
-water and air temperature
-tide height
-wind strength and direction
-lighting and visual mood
-personal sensory impressions.
Unlike achievement trackers, Wave Lore only stores physical conditions and subjective observations. Over time, these entries form a personal chronicle of how a specific place changes.
Any observer, swimmer, or traveler can install Wave Lore on their device. The app works without internet for its main functions. All data stays on the user's device.
Once someone starts using Wave Lore, it becomes easier to notice the subtle, repeating patterns of the sea - the ones that usually fade from memory. The app works for daily notes as well as rare trips to the coast.
