Strandline

Every shoreline keeps a faint chalk-line of things the tide decided to leave behind — a wave-worn button of sea glass, a gull feather, a stone with a white ring all the way around. Strandline is a quiet place to keep those small findings so they don't slip back out with the next wave. Open it after a walk and the app feels like emptying your pockets onto a windowsill: soft sand tones, unhurried transitions, room for each thing to matter.

Save a find with a photo-free little card — what it is, where the shore was, the weather, a line about why you stooped to pick it up — and sort your collection into gentle groups like sea glass, driftwood, shells, stones, and feathers. Browse your finds on quiet shelves, filter by kind or shore, and mark the ones you love. The heart of it is Tide Return: give the phone a soft shake and the strandline resurfaces one forgotten find, bringing back the day and the light of when you found it. A companion Field Notes section holds short, real lessons on reading a beach — why sea glass frosts, how a whelk builds its shell — so each walk teaches you a little more.
