The living map
Real position, heading, and speed for any vessel on the water, drawn on Helm's own engraved chart — not a schedule guess. Watch your own ship sail, or follow one from afar.
Live position, no navigation relianceLife at Sea
Helm follows a ship
the way a good logbook does.
Quietly, precisely, and only when there's something worth recording. Live position on an engraved chart, a voyage log kept properly, the honours earned along the way, and a keepsake card at the end of every crossing.

For passengers
The bridge, in your pocket
Every crossing deserves a proper record — where the ship is now, where it's been, and what it earned you along the way.
The voyage logbook
Every crossing, recorded properly — ocean, river, or ice. Ports, dates, ship, the ceremonies that mark a milestone at sea. Kept like it matters, because it does.
Keepsake voyage cards
A beautifully engraved card for every sailing — route, dates, ship — ready to share the moment you dock. Try building one below, right now.
The Glass
A live position on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island while a voyage is under way, widgets for the Home Screen, StandBy on the nightstand, and a companion Apple Watch app with its own complications.
25 heritage ships & the Navigator
Heritage stories from 25 storied liners, This Day at Sea for every date on the calendar, aurora watch for polar crossings, and the Navigator — an onboard guide that answers questions about your own voyage, grounded in your log, not a script.
Roll Call & the family circle
Wardroom boards for the passengers sharing your sailing, a family circle with junior profiles and a Cadet stamp book for the crew you're travelling with, and companion links that need no account to join.
For crew
Helm, on duty
A plainer register for anyone using Helm at work, not on holiday. Crew mode is a different door into the same ship.
Duty deck & career log
Vouched crew access, an offline-first Duty deck for time on and off, a running career log, and a Service Record — with a disclaimered sea-service PDF for the paperwork that follows you between ships.
Service Marks
Honours earned across a career at sea, awarded once and kept for good — 10,000 sea days logged, a Service Mark awarded.
Ship's Company
A mess-deck for the crew aboard your current ship — sign-off ceremonies that mark the arms off leaving, and dignified, silent exits when it's time to go.

Chart a keepsake card
This is the same engraved-chart language every Helm voyage card uses — pick a route, name a ship, and Helm charts a card in your browser. No account, no upload, nothing leaves your device.
Rendered entirely in this browser tab — a stylised chart, not a map tile, so no attribution is owed. The app version charts your real route, live.
