The First Sailing App
for the AI Age.

axiotrax is built with AI at its foundation — not as a feature, but as the engine. It records your sailing, replays every moment, and puts an AI coach in your pocket that actually knows what happened on your water. Free to use. Genuinely powerful.

"No athlete reaches their potential without a coach."

Now every sailor has one.

SmartCoach · AI

It reads your race.
Then coaches you on it.

SmartCoach doesn't give generic sailing advice. It reads your GPS track — every tack, every VMG split, every moment you gained or lost — then debriefs you the way a good dock coach would. Direct. Specific. Based on what actually happened.

"What happened to boat speed here?" "Was that tack worth it?" "Where did the upwind go wrong?" It knows the data. You ask the questions.

  • Reads your actual GPS — speed, VMG, tacks, every leg
  • Scrub to any moment — tap the map, ask "what happened here?"
  • ORC VPP polars — tells you how close you got to target

Personalized Coaching

You tell it what
you're working on.
It coaches you there.

Not every sailor needs the same debrief. Tell SmartCoach whether you're focused on boat speed and trim, or tactics and VMG — then add a note about what you're specifically trying to fix. The coach reads it, and it shapes every conversation. Not a script. Just context.

Speed & Trim

Heel, traveler, outhaul, sail shape — going as fast as possible. Coach leans here first.

Balanced

Follow the data and the question. Speed when speed matters. Tactics when tactics do.

Tactics & VMG

Shifts, laylines, favored side, positioning. Sailing in the right direction, not just fast.

Add a free-text note — "I tack too early at the mark" or "I lose pressure in dying breeze" — and the coach uses it to connect what it sees in your data to what you already know you're working on.

Video Overlay

Data-rich video.
One tap.

Speed. VMG. Compass. Live track map. Race leg. All stamped onto every frame of your sailing footage — automatically synced to your GPS data.

Select your video. Tap Render. Done. Pro subscribers get clean, branded export. Free users get a watermarked version — still genuinely useful, just with the axiotrax badge.

Boat vs. Boat · Pro

Race it.
Compare it.
Learn from it.

Sometimes the best coaching isn't about what you did — it's about what the other boat did differently. Load both tracks onto the same map. A single share in the app is all it takes. Now watch the race as it actually happened: two lines, one timeline, the whole picture.

As you play it back, axiotrax calls out the advantage in boat lengths — who was ahead, by how much, and exactly when that changed. The moments that decide races, made visible.

And SmartCoach? It's watching both of you now. Ask it anything about the tactics, the split, the leg where it all came apart. Or didn't.

  • Both tracks on the same map and timeline — instantly
  • Advantage measured and called out in boat lengths
  • One share from the app — no accounts, no setup, no friction
  • SmartCoach sees the whole race — both boats, every moment

Built with AI at its core

Fast.
Automatic.
Intelligent.

axiotrax is built with AI at its foundation — not bolted on as a feature. That means the app gets smarter, ships faster, and delivers more value every week.

SmartCoach AI

Your AI coach reads every session — speed, VMG, every tack — and debriefs you like a dock coach would. Tell it what you're working on and it focuses there. Speed and trim, or tactics and VMG. You choose.

Record, Import, Replay

Record direct from iPhone with race countdown built in. Import from Garmin FIT or Apple Watch. Every session logged, heat-mapped, and searchable. Works how you already sail.

Video Overlay

One tap renders your complete performance data onto your sailing footage. Speed, VMG, compass, track map — frame-precise. Pro users get clean branded export.

Simple Pricing

  • Syncs via Apple Health — no cables, no extra steps

Live Instruments · Pro

It's all about
the wind.

Wind is your horsepower. You use it, seek it out, manage it — turn every shift to your advantage. axiotrax already uses next-level intelligence to infer wind, learn the conditions you race in, and build that context into every coaching conversation. It does a great job.

But what if it actually knew your wind — second by second? Everything would go to the next level.

Add a simple NMEA 2000 Wi-Fi bridge to your boat's network and axiotrax sees the live signal directly. True wind speed, direction, and angle — measured on your boat, not modelled from a weather grid. Your polars come to life. Every coaching insight is grounded in exactly what the wind was doing at that moment.

This is coaching in the AI age.

  • True wind — measured on your boat, not modelled from a weather grid
  • Polars grounded in your actual conditions — not a generalisation
  • AI coaching that knows exactly what the wind was doing

Don't have a full instrument network on board? Watch this space — a lighter, simpler, plug-and-play wind solution is in the works.

New features,
weekly.

axiotrax is built with AI assistance — which means what used to take months ships in days. Decades of sailing domain knowledge, accelerated by AI. The app you download today will be meaningfully better in 30 days.

On the roadmap

More every
week.

axiotrax ships fast because the tools match the ambition. The data is already in your GPS track — we're building every way to see it.

TackSmart

Deep analysis of every tack and gybe — speed loss, recovery time, distance lost. See exactly where your maneuvers are costing you. Visualized.

Coming Soon

WindSmart

Wind shifts visualized across your race. See how the breeze moved, which tacks paid, and how well you played the shifts. All from your GPS.

Coming Soon

Start Line Analysis

Approach angle, timing quality, speed at gun. Everything that determines how your race begins.

Finish Line

Boat powered up. Trim dialed. A busy fleet all around you and the finish line dead ahead. axiotrax locks speed, compass, and VMG to every frame — so when you relive that approach, every number is exactly where it was. The kind of sailing worth remembering.

Crossing Fleets

You're on the upwind leg, mid-course — and another fleet is bearing down under full kite. axiotrax has the whole picture: your speed, your angle, exactly how the cross played out. The kind of moment that makes a great debrief even better.

SmartCourse powers the overlay. axiotrax knows which leg of the race your video is from — windward, leeward, reach — and updates the race leg indicator automatically as the footage plays. No manual tagging. No chapter markers. It just knows.
