KOOK SESSION

KOOK SESSION is a logbook for surfers, wingfoilers and other water sports lovers. Log every session with its conditions, keep track of your spots and your quiver, and learn from your own statistics.

Your data stays in your Nextcloud. The app works with the KOOK SESSION app for Nextcloud, which must be installed on your server. There is no account with a third-party service, no advertising and no tracking. The app works online only: nothing is stored on the phone except your sign-in details, encrypted with the Android Keystore.

Sessions

• Date, start and end time (duration computed), sport, spot, 1 to 5 stars, comment


• Number of waves or distance, maximum speed in knots and km/h, equipment used, buddies


• One photo and one video per session, from the camera or the gallery, saved in your Nextcloud Files


• Filters by year, sport, spot, rating, equipment and buddy

GPS tracks

• Import a GPX file (Garmin Connect, Strava, phone apps) or an IGC file into a session: map of the track, distance, duration and maximum speed


• Empty fields are filled in from the track (date, times, distance, speed, sport, nearest spot); a spot can be created at the start of the track

This app was developed with the help of Claude, an AI assistant by Anthropic.
