Your data

Your log lives on your device.

No account to log or plan, no connection needed on the boat, and nothing leaves your phone until you choose. Sync is something you switch on, never a requirement.

No ads. No selling your data. Open export, always.

Storage & sync: on this device, your own iCloud or Google Drive, or your account and own server

Local-first

Every dive, plan and piece of kit lives in a fast database on your device. There’s no sign-up wall and nothing to time out at sea. The app is whole and complete with nothing but your phone.

Sync, in layers

Three ways to keep your dives.

Stay entirely on-device, mirror through a cloud you already own, or run full cross-device sync through the ScubaOS server. Each layer is optional; each is honest about where your data sits.

On this device
Free. Everything stays on your phone or computer. Nothing leaves, no account, no network.
Your own cloud Plus
Back up through your iCloud or Google Drive: a safety net in an account you already control. We never see it.
ScubaOS server Pro
Cross-device sync. Log on the boat, plan on the desktop, always in step, through the ScubaOS server or one you self-host.
Merging
Sync merges like version control rather than clobbering: edits from two devices reconcile cleanly, and a delete on one device is honoured everywhere.

When you do share

You decide exactly what’s shown.

Sharing is per-dive and deliberate. Choose who sees it and how precisely its location appears, and trust that the boring-but-important details, like the GPS buried in a photo, are handled before anything is uploaded.

  • Public, followers-only or private, per dive
  • The exact site is fuzzed to a rough area, or hidden entirely
  • Photo location data stripped before upload, every time

The promise

Private by default, and it stays that way.

There’s no surveillance business model hiding behind this dive app. ScubaOS makes its money from divers who choose to pay for more, not from your data.

Free at the core
The logbook, quick planning, computer download and kit tracking cost nothing, forever.
No ads
Nothing tracks you across the web; the site itself carries no analytics or advertising cookies.
No lock-in
Your whole log exports in open formats, any time. Leaving should be easy; that’s what makes staying a choice.
Self-host
The sync server can be yours: run it on your own machine and point the app at it.

Keep your dives, your way.

Start fully on-device for nothing. Add your own cloud, or full cross-device sync, the day you want it.
