ShipTime Companion is now available on the App Store and Google Play. It’s a cruise companion built around one job: making sure you always know what time the ship thinks it is, and that you’re back on board before the gangway closes.
Why ship time trips people up
Cruise ships keep their own clock, usually the time zone of the port they departed from. Your phone doesn’t know that. When the ship docks, your phone picks up the local network and quietly switches to local time, so the time on your lock screen and the all-aboard time in the daily program can disagree.
ShipTime Companion removes the mental math. Cruise Mode locks the ship’s clock to your embarkation port and shows it next to local port time, so both are always on screen.
What’s in the app
- Dual clock: ship time and port time side by side.
- Cruise Mode: locks ship time so port time zones can’t shift it.
- Gangway alarms: all-aboard reminders at 60, 30 and 15 minutes.
- Duty-free tracker: log purchases in any currency and watch your US customs allowance fill up, with family pooling.
- Offline currency converter: exchange rates cached before you sail.
- Packing lists: templates for Caribbean, Alaska, Mediterranean and family cruises.
- Countdown widget: days until sail day on your Home Screen.
Built for the moments with no signal
The times you need a cruise app most are the times you’re least likely to have a connection: mid-ocean, in a port without roaming, or deep inside a cruise terminal. So ShipTime Companion is designed to work fully offline. Alarms are scheduled on the device, exchange rates are cached ahead of time, and your trip data stays on your phone. There’s no account and no tracking.
Free and Premium
The countdown, dual clock and Cruise Mode are free. Premium unlocks the lock screen widget, unlimited multi-stage alarms, unlimited customs logging with family pooling, every currency and every packing template, as a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.
