Volcano Beam

Volcano Beam is an offline-first visiting log for coastal travellers and light-keepers’ hobbyists who record one tower at a time. Cold start opens a fullscreen tower-card deck on a night-harbour navy surface. Tall portrait cards show lighthouse name, coast tag, light character (for example Fl W 10s), visit date, climbed badge, and a short photo-free note. Swipe or tap through the deck, add a card after each visit, and read per-coast tallies of towers logged—typed input only, with no maps or navigation. Create and edit tower cards with structured fields: name, coast, light character, visit date, climbed toggle, and note. Everything persists locally on your device. The light-character composer includes common patterns (Fl, Oc, Iso, F, Q, Al) plus colour and period seconds so entries stay consistent. The per-coast tally board lists named coasts with visited-tower counts, climbed counts, and last-visit date. Manage a coast library to add, rename, or archive coasts without leaving the log workflow. Filter and sort the deck by coast, climbed status, year, or light character, and search by tower name. A visit timeline lists cards chronologically for season or trip review. A seed deck of sample historic towers and coasts makes first launch feel full before you add your own. Export the current deck and coast tallies as plain text through the system share sheet—no cloud account. Local preferences store default coast, default sort, and climbed-first deck order on-device. Log every lighthouse you visit as a crisp tower card and see how many towers you have collected on each coast. Fully offline. No GPS or camera required.

Add a visit card with the coast, the date, and whether you climbed or stayed on shore. Coasts tally what you have seen, the timeline lines the cards up, and you can filter by year or light character.
