Boat Documents helps you track expiry dates for onboard paperwork. Access: Tools → Boat documents.
Document types
- Insurance
- Survey / certificate
- Fire extinguisher
- Licence / certificate
- Other (custom name)
For each entry you save
- Document type and optional custom name (e.g. hull insurance, sailing licence)
- Expiry date (date picker)
- Reminder before expiry: none, 7, 14, 30 or 60 days (default 30 days)
- Notes (e.g. policy number, insurer)
The list is sorted by urgency
- Red — expired
- Orange — expires within 30 days
- Green — valid for more than 30 days
PDF export: The “Export PDF” button generates a list with dates, statuses and notes. You can save or share the file (email, WhatsApp, cloud).
Push reminders: When a reminder is set, the app schedules a notification for around 9:00 AM on the chosen day before expiry. Tapping the notification opens Boat documents.
Requirements
- Notification permission (Android 13+)
- “Boat documents — reminders” channel enabled
- Android 12+: exact alarm permission (same as calendar)
Reminders are rescheduled after a phone restart. The empty state offers quick-add chips for common categories.
