iPhone and iPad App ยท v1.1

Halyard

Compose maritime flag hoists, decode signals, drill semaphore, and use Signal Deck to practice routine, caution, and urgent hoists.

Flag Hoist Composer

Type a message and Halyard builds a vertical International Code of Signals hoist. Decode mode lets you tap flags and read them back.

Signal Deck

Version 1.1 adds a training report for every hoist: flag count, word breaks, phonetic coverage, urgent/caution notes, and a practical drill.

Semaphore, Morse, Phonetics

Study semaphore positions, NATO/ICAO phonetics, and Morse references with audio/haptic practice for supported characters.

Offline Reference

Source links are included in Quick Reference. The app is for training and reference only; real marine operations should follow current official publications.

Private by Design

No account, no analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs, and no network required for core use. Photo-library permission is requested only if you save a generated hoist image.
