Sail Buddy is a light-weight app that displays course, speed and NMEA data in a fast, clean interface. This is not a "kitchen sink" application with lots of features you may or may not use. If you want a clean, easy-to-read data display to complement your navigation and weather apps, this might be the one for you. Also works very well on iPads and other tablets, including "split screen" mode so you can use other navigation apps side-by-side. And the Apple Watch lets you keep track of course…

What's new

Version 5.0 · 25 May 2026 · 4 months ago

Version 5 gives you full control over the selection of data fields, their order and appearance. You can optimize the display to match your boat and your style of navigation, showing just the fields that interest you, in any order you want. You can also automatically calculate DBK and DBS from DBT, display the system time, and override screen lock when underway.
