## Description

KayakSafe answers the one question that matters before you launch: is it safe to paddle right now?

Built for kayakers and paddlers, KayakSafe turns the raw forecast into a clear, safety-first read on your water conditions, hour by hour, so you can decide with confidence instead of guessing.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
- A simple Ideal / Caution / Avoid rating for every hour of the day
- Wind speed, gusts, and storm probability weighted as safety-critical, because that is what flips a calm paddle into a dangerous one
- Wind chill and heat index factored in for cold-water risk and comfort
- Severe weather alerts from the National Weather Service, grouped by severity so the important ones stand out

SET YOUR OWN LIMITS
- Every paddler's comfort level is different, so KayakSafe lets you set yours
- Adjust the thresholds for wind, gusts, storm chance, and temperature right in Settings
- The Ideal / Caution / Avoid ratings recalculate to match what YOU consider safe, whether you are a cautious beginner or a seasoned paddler

PADDLING MODE
- Turn it on before you put in and KayakSafe watches conditions while you paddle
- Set your own session timeout and auto-off at sunset
- Choose to receive alerts only while you are on the water
- Note: iOS limits how often apps can check conditions in the background, so background checks are not guaranteed. For time-critical conditions, keep KayakSafe open.

BUILT TO BE SIMPLE
- Auto-detects your area, no account and no sign-in required
- Light and dark themes, or follow your system setting, with colors chosen to stay readable in bright outdoor light
- A 7-day outlook and tappable hourly detail for planning the whole trip

A LITTLE EXTRA FOR ANGLERS
Fish from your kayak? KayakSafe also includes a daily bite forecast with solunar windows and simple lure and bait suggestions. It is a bonus, not the point. Safety comes first.

KayakSafe is an informational tool to help you plan. It is not a substitute for your own judgment, local knowledge, or official warnings. Always check current conditions and paddle within your ability.
