Ninja Logbook

Keep a proper ship's log

Launch in Browser Get the Android App

What it does

A ship's logbook that takes your position from GPS and records it alongside speed, heading, wind, sea state, weather, and whatever the crew wants to note down. Every entry is timestamped and kept, so any past passage can be read back in full.

Features

GPS Position

Auto-fills your lat/lon from the device GPS with each log entry.

Conditions Log

Record wind, sea state, barometer, visibility, and sky cover.

Crew Notes

Free-text notes for sail changes, incidents, and observations.

Passage History

Browse and review all past entries with map track replay.

When to use it

On passage

Log hourly entries with position, conditions, and sail trim. Same as a paper log, but quicker.

After a sail

Write down what happened while it's still fresh: the conditions, who was aboard, anything that went wrong.

Tracking your miles

Build a long-term record of every passage. Useful for offshore certification, and good to look back on.

Android app

The browser version needs a connection and stops recording when the screen locks. The Android app fixes both. Entries and tracks are written to the device first and sync when a signal returns, so it keeps working offshore, and recording carries on through a locked screen for the length of a passage.
