Tidal Labs
Capture Your Surf Highlights
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Tidal Labs turns your watch and iPhone into a hands-free surf filming system. Works with Apple Watch or a compatible Garmin!
Set up your iPhone on a beach tripod or mount pointed at the lineup, strap on your watch, and paddle out. When you catch a wave, log it from your wrist: scroll the Digital Crown up on Apple Watch, or press DOWN on Garmin. When your session ends, open Tidal Labs, import your iPhone footage from your camera roll, and sync your watch data. The app automatically matches your timestamps to the footage and trims each ride into its own clip. The result is a clean highlight reel of every wave, ready to share, without touching a single clip manually.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Mount your iPhone on the beach pointed at the waves
2. Start a session on your watch before paddling out
3. Log each wave from your wrist as you ride it
4. After your session, open Tidal Labs and import your footage from your camera roll
5. Sync your watch data and the app automatically trims your highlight reel
