Paddle further.
Map every mile.
A quietly powerful companion for kayakers and paddleboarders — built natively for iOS 26 with Liquid Glass, HealthKit, and routes that read at a glance.
See it move
Tools that stay out of the way until you need them.
The app keeps the map readable, the controls close, and the session flow obvious from shoreline to summary.
Why it feels different
Quiet by design. Useful on the water.
The details below are the supporting system: route intelligence, privacy, HealthKit, and the Apple surfaces paddlers already trust.
Route-aware tracking
Polyline colored by pace — green cruises, red sprints. Readable at a glance from the cockpit.
Apple Health sync
Every session writes to HealthKit — distance, duration, active energy. Off by default; you stay in control.
Liquid Glass, everywhere
Stats capsules float over the map; nothing obstructs the water. Designed for iOS 26 from day zero.
Splits that make sense
Per-mile pace. Per-segment elevation. Tabular numerics so numbers don't jitter while you're moving.
Private by default
GPS never leaves your device unless you share a session. No accounts, no analytics, no ads.
Apple Watch-ready
Phone stays dry in the drybag. Start, stop, and glance at splits from the wrist. Coming soon.
On-device by default. Uploads are opt-in.
HealthKit is optional. Revoke anytime.
Wear your PFD. Check conditions. Paddle on.
About the developer
One paddler. One app.
In honor of Frank Burke.
RETAIL TECH TO WATER TECH
Retail & technology, now building on the water.
Shine builds at the intersection of product, retail, and technology, with past work across Apple and Meta. OarSum is his first native iOS app, shaped by a program manager’s eye for systems and a paddler’s impatience with clunky tracking tools.
The app started as a simple way to log time on the water without strapping on another GPS device. It grew into a focused iOS 26 companion for paddlers: map-first, privacy-conscious, HealthKit-aware, and designed to stay quiet until it is useful.
In memory of Frank Burke, YYYY–2025.
