Longshore Companion
Timebook & Dispatch Tape
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The timebook for longshore workers in every West Coast port, with the dispatch tape for 13 ports in Washington and Oregon.
Timebook
- Log a shift in a few taps: date, hours, job, and terminal
- Pay worked out against PMA contract rates: straight time, overtime, hoot owl, and paid holidays
- Calendar with the PMA payroll calendar a tap away
- Stats by week, month, quarter, and year, each measured against the same stretch last year
- Breakdowns by job, terminal, and vessel
- Qualifying year: your pension hours toward 800 and 1,300, and the vacation weeks they earn
- Personal records for your best days, streaks, and double-outs
- Paid holiday reference
- CSV import and export
Dispatch and the tape
- Upcoming Work: what the hall has ordered for the next shifts, gang by gang
- A push when your local's tape posts
- Work Data for Seattle and Tacoma: how many jobs and casuals went out each shift
- Switch locals to see the board for whichever port you are working
- 13 ports today: Aberdeen, Anacortes, Astoria, Bellingham, Coos Bay, Everett, Longview, Olympia, Port Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, and Vancouver
Ships in Seattle, Tacoma, and Everett
- Radar: what is at berth and what is inbound, with ETAs and berth assignments
- Map: live vessel positions over your port
- Schedule: the published vessel lineup, with a profile for any ship
Private by design
- No ads, no tracking, and no analytics SDK in the app
- Your shifts are encrypted on your phone before they sync, so our servers never see them as plain text
Free, and a subscription if it earns its place
- Your first 14 shifts are free. Dispatch, work data, and ship tracking are free for everyone
- The subscription unlocks the Timebook for unlimited shifts and keeps the app ad-free and in active development
- $9.99 a year, with a 1-week free trial for new subscribers
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID when the trial ends
- Renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period
- Manage or cancel anytime in your iPhone's Settings: tap your name, then Subscriptions

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Fixes in this update:
- Fixes the Timebook encryption key failing to load on some iPhones running iOS 18.7.
- The week card under the calendar scrolls the page again. Use the arrows to change weeks.
- Dispatch tapes now name trim and lash gangs.
- Payroll 2027 starts Dec 26, before PMA publishes its calendar. Your weeks, year total and qualifying year keep counting, and Stats tells you when month and quarter totals are waiting on PMA.
