Sections — how to get around

01
Scroll the rail sideways when a destination sits off-screen: every section is on it, from the desk through the debrief to Find and Reference.
02
On the water is field mode — big targets, no typing, and it keeps working with no signal. The field guide plates work offline too.
03
Jump takes you there without scrolling. Theme stays on this device.

Three acts

The three jobs

Trip Prep
Where, when, conditions, targeting, gear, pack, field brief. Progress from what you actually did — not from packets carried.
On the water
Log what you are seeing in taps, not typing. The desk reads it back as a reasoned presentation change, and makes you write down why you changed.
Field Debrief
What the water was doing, what you tried, what you learned — and what your record says across every trip. Personal field intelligence, not a catch log.

Plan the trip. Record what you saw.

No active trip yet. Field Ops will keep one Water → Species → Presentation context in view.

Guide trip & client handoff

Output composer

Choose the trip, choose the artifact, then see exactly which sections will go out. Client presets start empty of guide-only fields. Nothing is placed in a URL and nothing is uploaded.

Field Ops still runs observe first, change one variable, record why. This page only wraps that method for a professional day.

client prep notes

Prepare the trip in Trip Prep. Log the day on the water. File the debrief. Then come back here.

No artifact yet. Sections on the left are the default client-safe preset until you generate.

What you actually gave

Receipts stay on this device. Regenerating marks the previous receipt of the same type as superseded and increments the revision. The old receipt remains readable.

No handoffs generated yet.
