The catalogue
Everything Shimbiri does.
What’s free. What the AI adds.
Most of it runs standalone, no AI subscription. The AI is here when you want it, and you pay only for what you use.
Start free
Start free. The intelligence grows with you.
You already do this
The old world
Five separate apps for five jobs: an anchor alarm, a tide app, a nav app. None of them talk. None of them think.
Zero-friction start
The same app, free
“Oh, an anchor alarm. I know what that is.” Recognisable, free, no account. You’re in without learning anything new.
Revealed over time
…it stands the watch
One night she swings on a wind shift and it wakes you, before you’d have stirred. You never decided to “adopt AI”; you just live inside the crew now.
The app
Free: install it
With AI: metered
Anchor Alarm
The Officer
Safety
Set the drag radius. Background alert on your phone or PC the moment the boat moves.
The Officer keeps a weather-aware drag watch: reads the holding, wind shifts and your boat’s history, and wakes you the moment she starts to move.
Manual Library
The Purser
Documents
Upload your manuals. They’re OCR’d and searchable, so you find anything in seconds.
The Purser surfaces the right page in context. Ask about a fault code; get the manufacturer’s procedure with the page reference.
Crew & Certs
The Crew
People
Who’s on board, what they’re qualified for, and when each cert expires.
The Crew runs pre-passage readiness checks, and nudges cert renewals before they bite at the Cat 1 audit.
Logbook
The Officer
Records
Manual entries and a clean PDF export. Yours forever, on your device.
The Officer writes it for you: auto-narrated entries with NMEA snapshots, every passage, every hour.
Maintenance
The Bosun
Operations
Engine hours, service intervals, manual reminders. The basics that keep the boat running.
“Just changed the filter.” The Bosun captures evidence, decrements stores, schedules next service, builds the Cat 1 audit pack, and holds an always-on readiness read across what’s due, overdue and predicted, your incidents, suppliers and stores endurance.
Passage Planning
The Officer
Navigation
Distances, ETAs and waypoints, with GPX load and save. Works offline.
The Officer plots a coastline-aware route, weather-checks the corridor you’ll actually sail, and re-checks it every forecast cycle, flagging the wind, wave and pressure shifts that change the call, with a GO / CAUTION / NO-GO read. Blends multiple models and tells you when they disagree.
Tide & Light
The Officer
Reference
Tide tables, sun, moon, twilight for any port. Offline once downloaded.
The Officer turns it into passage timing: when to leave, when to arrive, what to expect at the bar.
“Every sound, warning, and data stream tells a story.”
Hardware tier: when the AI hears what you can’t
Telemetry + Acoustic
The Chief Engineer
Hardware tier
Requires the Chief Engineer pack.
Every NMEA system watched continuously. Alarms surface as language, not codes. And an experimental acoustic prototype is in trials on Shimbiri’s own engine. Early days, not yet a shipping feature.
+ One-time hardware install
How you pay
Three tiers. No surprises.
The free apps stay free. The AI is metered. The hardware and the hands-on services are quoted, fitted and supported by us. Pick the combination that suits your boat.
