About this app

Tideshore puts the tide right on your home screen. See how the sea is near you at a glance: the height now, whether it is rising or falling, the next high and low, and a clean graph of the day ahead, all without opening an app and digging for it.

Tell each spot what you care about, and Tideshore tells you when it happens:
• Fishing, around the turns of the tide
• A cove or causeway you can only reach at low water
• A boat ramp that needs enough water to launch
• High water, low water, or simply avoiding the low

WHAT YOU GET
• The tide now: height, rising or falling, and the next high or low
• A tide graph for the day, with the highs and lows marked and the dark hours shaded, so you can read it in a second
• Weather with the tide: wind, cloud and temperature from met.no, right next to the water
• Alerts before it matters: a quiet nudge before your window opens or the tide turns, on your schedule, even with the app closed
• Highest and lowest: today's extremes, plus the biggest tides across a month or a year so you can plan the good ones
• Nearby and your spots: the nearest place you can reach the water, plus your saved spots to swipe through, each remembering what it wants from the tide
• A real map to pick and save spots, and a small map on the widget showing you and the water

WORKS OFFLINE
Tide predictions are worked out on your device, so a widget pinned to a spot keeps updating with no signal. It is there when you are standing on the shore with no bars.

HONEST ABOUT PREDICTIONS
Every tide figure is a prediction, never a live reading, and Tideshore says so. Wind and pressure can push real water off the forecast, so treat the numbers as a helpful estimate and use your own judgment on the water. For anything safety-critical, check official sources too.

What’s new

First open test.

TideShore answers one question from your home screen: how is the sea near you.

- A tide card in three sizes: the height now, the curve, and the window that suits your spot.
- Nearest shoreline follows you. Save up to ten spots of your own.
- Real maps kept per spot, so a saved place still draws with no signal.
- Weather, temperature and the next sunrise or sunset.
- Alerts before a spot turns good. Settings can send a test one.
