Telltale is a comprehensive sailboat maintenance app that helps you track systems, tasks, and parts. It includes pre-built maintenance schedules, AI-powered troubleshooting, and crew collaboration features to keep your vessel in top condition.
Yes! Core features are available offline, including viewing systems, completing tasks, and updating maintenance logs. Your data will sync automatically when you're back online. This is essential for sailors who spend extended time away from internet connectivity.
Telltale is available on iOS, Android, and as a web application. Your data syncs seamlessly across all devices, so you can update maintenance records on your phone while aboard and review them on your computer at home.
Features
The Quick Rig Package includes 9 pre-built system architectures (engine, electrical, plumbing, rigging, etc.), over 300 maintenance tasks with schedules, and a database of 60 common boat parts. This saves you weeks of setup time and ensures you don't miss critical maintenance.
Captain Rusty is an AI assistant trained on marine systems and maintenance procedures. You can chat with it to diagnose problems, get step-by-step repair instructions, plan maintenance schedules, and get advice on parts and procedures. It's like having an experienced marine mechanic available 24/7.
Yes! You can start with the Quick Rig Package as a foundation, then customize it with your specific equipment and maintenance history. You can also import existing maintenance records, equipment lists, and documentation to get up and running quickly.
The crew add-on lets you invite crew members with different permission levels. You can assign tasks, share maintenance schedules, and track who completed what work. There's also an optional buddy boat feature to share spare parts availability with trusted boats in your network.
Pricing & Plans
Yes, Captain Rusty AI is a separate subscription. You can use all the core maintenance tracking features without the AI assistant, and add it later if you want troubleshooting help. Many users start with the free plan and Quick Rig Package, then add AI when they need it.
The free plan gives you full access to core maintenance tracking features. You can create your vessel profile, add systems, and track basic maintenance tasks. This lets you evaluate the app before deciding on paid features like Quick Rig or AI assistance.
