Abeam: NMEA & Signal K

Abeam shows your boat's NMEA or Signal K Wi-Fi data in a chart view or an instrument view. The instrument view is drawn like marine instrument displays: wind gauge and large-number pages. The chart view shows live true and apparent wind direction, and AIS targets with all of their broadcasted information. It also includes an off heading alarm, anchor alarm, historical graphs for all data, Dynamic Island, Live Activities and an Apple Watch app.

Abeam is free. It is a side project: I wanted a better app for my own boat, so I built this one. If you find it useful, there is a Buy Byron a Pint button in Settings.
