Kedge keeps the list, the dates and the record for a boat sailed by one or two — and works for weeks with no signal.
No account needed. Nothing leaves your phone unless you sign in to sync.
Twelve checks, not two hundred, and only the ones that matter in the phase you are in — alongside, at anchor, on passage, laid up.
Flares, liferaft service, beacon battery and registration, gas, engine hours. Each one warns you with its own lead time, not on the day it dies.
Every tick, defect and passage, exportable as one file sealed with a code anyone can recompute. For the surveyor, the insurer, or the buyer.
On a crewed yacht the captain signs off and the owner checks. Alone, there is no second pair of eyes — so Kedge is that, and nothing more. It has no crew accounts, no tasks to assign, no approvals, no costs to track, no chat. A failed check opens a defect and asks for a photo, because the photo is for you, in a yard, in eight months.
Kedge builds your list from the boat: length, flag, waters, engine, gas, liferaft, beacon. Where the carriage rules are verified, it says what is required and where that comes from. Where they are not, it shows the World Sailing standard and says plainly that it is not a legal list.
Per boat, not per person. The free tier is the whole app — sync is a convenience, never a hostage.
You would still have your boat's history: the export is plain JSON, written to be readable without us, and the seal is a SHA-256 hash anyone can recompute with a few lines of code. Experienced cruisers refuse purpose-built apps because they have been stranded before. That objection is the reason this feature shipped in the first version rather than the fifth.
