Marine awareness · iPhone

A clearer view of what’s ahead.

HarborAR is a supplemental, eyes-up marine navigation companion for iPhone.

It is not a navigation instrument, chartplotter, ECDIS or depth sounder, and it is not a substitute for official charts, onboard instruments, and prudent seamanship.

US coastal and inland waters where HarborAR has published a region. Published regions: Chesapeake, Ohio Louisville, South Florida, Tampa Bay. AR channel markers and tide predictions are currently available in the South Florida region.

Six views of the same voyage

Each surface explains a focused part of the route while keeping its limits visible.

01 / SIGHT

AR Marker Finder

See nearby charted aids through the camera view, with names, distance, and relative position.

Availability requires a live camera, device sensors, and supported chart coverage.

02 / ROUTE

Navigation HUD

Keep the next charted aid, bearing, distance, and route status in view during an active voyage.

Guidance depends on device location and the route you selected.

03 / DEPTH

Charted depth

See charted depth shading and a shallow-water warning based on your vessel draft and safety margin.

Charted depth is not live depth, and conditions can differ from the chart.

04 / ASK

AI First Mate

Ask a route question and receive an answer limited to the guidance values HarborAR has already computed; it explains, it does not steer.

The answer can be incomplete or inaccurate, so check it against official charts and onboard instruments.

05 / NIGHT

Night mode

Night mode reduces interface brightness and shifts operational surfaces toward a restrained red appearance.

Display settings do not change the underlying guidance or shallow-water evaluation.

06 / PROOF

Made for the water

HarborAR has been field-tested on Biscayne Bay with recorded routes, device telemetry, and reviewed marker observations.

Field-testing supports iteration; it does not certify conditions, routes, or outcomes.

Field notes / Biscayne Bay

Built between shoreline and channel

Field sessions compare recorded location, heading, and marker observations with the app’s rendered guidance.

Those sessions find problems and guide revisions; the operator still verifies every voyage against current official information.
