Fishing Journal: Castwell

Castwell is the fishing journal that works without an account, without a feed and without signal. Logging a catch takes seconds: tap the species, type the length, save. Everything else is optional. Your catches, photos and spots stay on your phone.

LOG A CATCH IN UNDER 30 SECONDS
• Big species buttons with the fish you caught last, search across 50 species (English, German, Latin) or add your own species.
• Length and weight as numbers, precise to the millimetre or the hundredth of a pound. No fiddly sliders, no upper limit.
• Up to four photos, bait and water with suggestions from your own fishing diary, released or kept.
• Weather, wind, water temperature and a note if you want. A GPS point only if you choose to save one.

BITE TIMES AND MOON PHASE, FREE AND OFFLINE
• Major and minor periods after the solunar theory, for every day, 30 days ahead.
• Moon phase, moonrise, moonset, sunrise and sunset for your place, calculated on the phone to the minute, even without signal at the water.
• A rating for every day with a “Why?” behind it. Honestly: whether fish follow solunar tables is disputed. That is why Castwell measures your own hit rate.

SPECIES ALBUM AND PERSONAL BESTS
• Every species you catch turns from a shadow into a full colour plate in the style of an old field guide, with your record.
• New species and new personal bests are celebrated. Season stats with days fished, longest and heaviest fish and your best day.

CATCH CARD TO SHARE
• Every catch as a card with photo, measuring board, length, date and moon phase. Share it anywhere.
• The water only shows on the card if you want it to. Your spots stay yours.

NO ACCOUNT, NO DATA LOSS
• No sign-up, no profile, no forum.
• Free with light ads; Pro removes all ads. Ads come via our ad partners and are personalised only with your consent.
• Free backup file with all catches and photos. Load it on your new phone and everything is back.
• Pro returns automatically with your Google account on a new phone, plus a “Restore purchase” button.
• Filters for species, water and year are remembered.
