Getting started with Inshore

This guide gets you from a fresh install to your first logged catch in Inshore.

Steps

1. Download Inshore from the App Store or Google Play.
2. Create your account with an email and password, then confirm the verification email Inshore sends you.
3. Open the Home tab. A quick screen walks you through the two things Inshore is built around: a spot is a place you fish, and a log is a visit to that spot.
4. Tap the Log button, wherever you are. Inshore either matches you to a spot you've already saved or creates a new one on the spot. See Logging a spot for the full flow.
5. Add your first catch to the log: species, count, and any notes, then save. Inshore records the tide and weather conditions for that moment automatically.

Common questions

Do I need an account to use Inshore? Yes. An account keeps your spots and logs saved and synced across devices.

What if I don't catch anything on my first trip? Log the visit anyway. Catches are optional on any log, and an empty trip is still useful history.

Where do I go from here? See Logging a spot for the full logging flow, or watch the app overview video.
