Captain — your profile

The Captain's Dashboard is your account home. It looks different

depending on whether you are signed in.

Signed in

When you are signed in the dashboard shows:

Profile card — your avatar, your captain name, and email, with

four info capsules below it: your country, your last known

place (a town or coast name, not raw coordinates — shown only while

your privacy level is Social Captain, otherwise it reads *Location

private*), the month you joined, and when you were last seen.

Your record — three counts under the profile card: Passages,

Routes and Anchorages. Each is a lifetime total with a small

twelve-month trend line and, once you have a full season behind you, how

it compares with the year before. The counts appear only after you have

recorded something; a brand-new account sees nothing rather than three

zeroes. See [Your record](#your-record).

Vessel — your boat's routing specification, and what any missing

number costs you. See [Your vessel's specs](#vessel-specs).

Privacy — a capsule showing your current privacy level. Tap it to

open Privacy Settings and change who can see you.

Subscription status — the plan you are on and, for paid plans,

when it renews. Tap it to open the premium Licenses Ledger.

Language — set inside Edit Profile (tap the pencil). This is

the only preference exposed here. Units and theme live in

Settings, not on this dashboard.

To sign out, tap the pencil to open Edit Profile — the Sign

Out button is at the bottom of that screen. There is no sign-out

control on the main dashboard.

Your record

The three counts read from what you have actually recorded:

Passages — voyages you recorded while under way.

Routes — routes you planned and saved. A route you never recorded

counts here, not as a passage.

Anchorages — stays in your anchor-watch history.

The trend line under each is the last twelve months, oldest on the left,

this month on the right. The percentage compares those twelve months with

the twelve before them — a whole year against a whole year, because

sailing is seasonal and comparing one month with the last would report a

collapse every autumn. In your first season there is nothing honest to

compare against, so a dash appears instead of a number.

The totals are lifetime figures and never shrink: an old passage still

counts even after it has scrolled off the trend line.

Your vessel's specs

The Vessel card shows the numbers the app uses to plan for your boat:

draft, air draft, length overall, beam, average speed and fuel burn. It

is a read-only view — tap Edit vessel specs to change them.

Average speed is measured, not guessed. Once you have completed three

passages the figure is your own average over the last twelve, and the

card says measured beneath it. Before that it shows the cruise speed

you set, marked you set this, or a default for your hull type. This is

the speed every ETA in the app starts from — see

Settings.

A missing number says what it costs. Anything unset reads Not set

in amber, with a line underneath explaining what stops working. Without

air draft, bridges and power lines are not checked on your routes.

Without fuel burn, a passage cannot estimate its fuel cost. Nothing else

about the app changes; those specific checks simply do not run.

Licenses Ledger (App Store Accounting)

Tapping the Subscription Status capsule on your profile card immediately launches the Licenses Ledger (SubscriptionLedgerSheet). This acts as the official visual accounting dashboard for your active App Store licenses, direct region purchases, and complimentary chart pack slot allocations.

If you hold both a paid plan and a separately-purchased Real-Time

Remote subscription, a Real-Time Remote also active ·

line appears under the plan name — Remote has its own renewal cycle, so the

ledger states it explicitly rather than folding it into the plan's date.

Complimentary Chart Pack Slots

Premium memberships grant complimentary, permanent slot allocations for

high-resolution chart regions:

* AnchorQueen Free: 0 complimentary slots.

* AnchorQueen Pro: 3 complimentary slots, chosen one at a time.

* AnchorQueen Max: unlimited — every region is included, so the ledger

shows a coverage card instead of a slot roster; nothing to claim or

choose between.

* Real-Time Remote (standalone, not a plan): 1 complimentary slot

while the subscription is active.

If your account is grandfathered (an early lifetime account), the

ledger labels it AnchorQueen Grandmaster with *Grandfathered Lifetime

Access* and a crown. This is not a fourth tier you can buy — it is a badge

for legacy lifetime accounts, with Max-level capabilities.

💡

TIP

Claiming a complimentary slot binds the chosen chart region to your active profile. Even if you delete local chart files to save disk space, the slot remains yours—re-downloading is always free and unconstrained.

Slot Licensing States

Each slot in the roster dynamically tracks the status of its bound license:

* 🟢 Active (Expires ): The region is fully active with offline capabilities and passage planning.

🟡 Expired · Routing Disabled: The region's subscription has expired. Offline viewing of vector charts remains fully active, but advanced Hybrid A-APF passage routing within the region is locked.

* 🔴 Expired · Locked: The region's slot is expired and offline downloading is locked.

IMPORTANT

Data Integrity Policy: Personal waypoints, saved markers, custom routes, and voyage recordings are never locked out, restricted, or deleted upon subscription expiration or region lockouts. They are securely saved in your local SQLite/GRDB database and backed up in your private cloud account.

Signed out

When you are not signed in the tab is a sign-in screen:

Email and password fields.

Sign in button.

Create account link.

Forgot password link.

Sign in with Apple / Google (where available).

The same screen appears wherever you reach your profile from — the

Captain tab, or the captain card at the top of the

sidebar, which reads Sign In while you

are signed out. Opened from the sidebar it arrives as a sheet with a ✕

in the top-right corner; close it to go back to the chart. Once you sign in,

the same sheet becomes your dashboard.

You need to be signed in to use Jules and the

Remote tab.

AI Crew (Jules)

Below your profile card is an AI Crew (Jules) card with a single control:

Captain's gender — Not set, Male, or Female. Jules,

your AI marine officer, takes the opposite gender to the captain,

and the line under the picker states the outcome plainly (*Jules will

speak as a woman / as a man). (This setting moved here from the Safe Anchor

settings.)*

This is separate from the Gender field in the [Safety Profile](#safety-profile)

below — that one is a search-and-rescue datum, this one only shapes Jules.

Safety Profile

The dashboard shows a Safety Profile card (SOLAS SAR / ISAF) — the

information rescue services ask for first. The card's header carries a

readiness badge: it reads SAR Ready (green) once all three

critical fields are filled, or N/3 Critical (orange / red) while any

are missing. The three critical fields are blood type, the

emergency-contact name, and your date of birth. While the badge

is below 3/3, a Complete safety profile prompt nudges you to fill in

the rest.

Tap the pencil to edit these details in Edit Profile:

Date of Birth — toggle on to set it.

Gender — Not set, Male, Female, Non-Binary, or Prefer Not to Say.

This is the SAR datum — distinct from the three-option Jules gender

[above](#ai-crew).

Blood Type — A/B/AB/O with ± or Unknown.

Emergency Contact — name, phone, email, and relationship.

Allow Jules to Notify — when on, Jules can send an alert to your

emergency contact during a distress event. The dashboard card echoes

this as Jules can notify this contact once a contact is set.

Everything here stays on your device and in your synced account; it is

shared only when you trigger a distress alert.

My Vessels

The My Vessels card manages your fleet and which boat is currently

active.

Add a vessel — tap the + in the card header to open the boat

editor.

Active vessel drop zone — the dashed box at the top of the card.

Drag a vessel from the fleet roster onto it to make that boat the

active one. The box highlights green while you drag over it. The active

vessel is remembered between launches.

Fleet roster — every other registered boat is listed below the

drop zone. No vessels registered yet shows until you add your first.

Edit a boat — tap its row, or tap the ⋯ button at the right

end of the row and choose Edit. Long-press the row for the same

menu.

Delete a boat — the ⋯ menu (or long-press) offers Delete;

on the active vessel it reads Remove. Swiping the row left still

reveals the same two buttons as a shortcut. Deleting asks you to

confirm and cannot be undone; deleting the active vessel clears the

drop zone.

Document Vault

A private store for your ship's papers — reached from the Captain tab.

Upload ICC, RYA, STCW certificates, insurance policies, vessel

registration, and crew manifests, sorted into folders.

Vault Storage — up to 50 MB per account, shown as a usage bar

that turns orange near full.

Add — imports PDF, JPEG, or PNG files. Large uploads show a

progress percentage.

No documents yet appears until you add your first file.

Not enough vault space — if a file would exceed your 50 MB,

delete existing documents to free space or choose a smaller file.

At the bottom of the dashboard a Share the App button opens the system

share sheet so you can pass AnchorQueen on to crewmates and fellow

skippers.

In Edit Profile

Tap the pencil to reach Edit Profile. Beyond display name, language,

the Safety Profile, and Sign Out, it has:

Profile photo — tap the avatar to pick a new image.

Receive news and offers — a marketing opt-in toggle (you and our

partners). Off by default.

Privacy Policy — opens the policy in your browser.

Delete Account — permanently deletes your account and data; see

[Delete your account](#delete-account).

Delete your account

You can permanently delete your AnchorQueen account from inside the app.

Open Edit Profile (the pencil on the Captain tab) and tap Delete

Account, then confirm.

This permanently removes your account and the data tied to it — your

captain profile, boats, saved routes, marks, and voyage data — and cannot

be undone. Deletion runs on our servers, so the account is fully removed,

not just signed out, and you are returned to the sign-in screen.

Two things it does not touch:

Subscriptions. An active AnchorQueen subscription is billed by Apple,

not cancelled by deleting your account. Manage or cancel it in

Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions on your device.

Anonymous community data. De-identified contributions (such as

anonymous seabed reports) and legally required accounting records are

kept, with no link back to you once the account is gone.

If deletion can't complete — usually a connection problem — nothing is

deleted and you can try again.

What signing in does

Signing in connects your device to the AnchorQueen cloud so that:

Your Captain's Pass subscription unlocks across devices.

Jules can stream answers and remember conversation history.

Remote can connect your aboard and shore devices to each other.

Your sailing data on the chart and in Capt's Notebook stays on the device

unless you choose to sync.

If something goes wrong

Sign-in fails — check your password and that the device has a

connection.

Subscription does not appear after sign-in — tap Restore Purchases

in the Store.

A preference set here does not stick — check the same row in

Settings and make sure they agree.
