An offline-first marine navigation app for nautical charts, route planning, weather, tides, AIS traffic, and at-sea safety.

Why it surfaced

Marinate turns a phone into a chartplotter, with no account, no tracking, and offline chart downloads. Its strongest promise is unusually concrete: man-overboard navigation and an anchor-drag alarm remain free forever, while a $14.99-a-year plan adds depth shading, AIS collision warnings, and SignalK support.

Ice Does Not Count

August 12’s newborn domains include a rule-bound archive of enormous sodas, 27 family stories cut from one afternoon, a disaster-supply map with a 24-hour freshness rule, and an ocean bell that rings only when six conditions agree.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-12 Domain Arrivals issue.
