Plan every meal of the voyage and the calendar becomes the grocery list. New: the voyage you’re on first, today’s cooking for the crew, and a sample voyage to try.
Eight crew, seven days, one galley and one trip to the store.
Rainbow’s End Provisioning plans every meal of the voyage on a calendar and turns it into the grocery list. Try the sample voyage to see it work.
WHAT IT DOES
• VOYAGE: dates, crew and a provisioning pattern: full (every meal aboard) or split (breakfasts and lunches aboard, most dinners ashore, the way charter weeks run). Say who drinks what, which snacks to keep aboard, which food allergies are aboard, and whether the crew drinks from the tanks. Change the dates, days or crew any time.
• CALENDAR: breakfast, lunch and dinner for each day, each aboard, ashore or off, at anchor or underway. Suggestions plan fresh meals early and one-pot meals underway. It warns about food that won’t keep to its day, meals with a crew allergen, and water the tanks can’t cover. During the voyage it opens on today, and each meal shows its amounts for that day’s crew and its cooking.
• GALLEY: more than forty meals and sixteen snacks with per-person amounts and cooking steps for a two-burner galley. Add your own, and record what’s already aboard.
• LIST: one grocery list: each meal’s amounts times the crew aboard that day, less what’s aboard, rounded up to real packs. Adjust it, add a memo to any line, split it by aisle among several shoppers and send each their share, check items into the cart, print it and the calendar as PDFs, or export spreadsheets. After the shopping, record what each store cost with its receipt and send it to Ship’s Purse.
WHY IT’S DIFFERENT
• Arithmetic you can check. You can’t buy 13 eggs, so it buys 18, and the spreadsheet shows needed, already aboard and to buy.
• Built for a boat: keeping windows, the ship’s tanks, meals underway, dinners ashore and the charter pattern.
• Offline. No account, no server, no tracking. Nothing leaves your device unless you print, export or send it, or switch on iCloud sync to keep your iPhone and iPad the same through your own iCloud.
We built it aboard our ketch Rainbow, from the provisioning lists of our own charter weeks.
WHAT IT WON’T DO
• It doesn’t order groceries or connect to a store.
• It isn’t a recipe app: no photos, no scaling.
• It doesn’t plan emergency water or safety stores.
Keeping windows and water rates are estimates from cruising practice. An aid to judgment, not a substitute for it.
Apps for sailors, by sailors.
Ratings & Reviews

Opens on the voyage you’re on. During the voyage, the Voyage tab shows the day and today’s meals, and the Calendar opens on today. Open a meal for its amounts for that day’s crew and its cooking steps.
Try a sample voyage: a week’s charter for six, already planned, to see how the calendar becomes the grocery list.
On the iPhone, the grocery list comes first. The cart remembers how many went in: if the plan grows, the line comes back with what is still to buy. Meals aboard that aren’t planned are counted, since they buy nothing.
Change a voyage after you make it: the name, the first day, the number of days and the crew every day.
Dates are set with − and +, on your phone’s own date.
What the shopping cost: after the shopping, enter each store’s total and a picture of its receipt. Send it to Ship’s Purse on the same phone, or to another phone by AirDrop or Messages.
Snacks for the voyage: choose the snacks to keep aboard once, on the Voyage tab, from a library of sixteen. Voyages planned before this version have no snacks until you choose them.
A memo on any line of the grocery list: “4 six-packs Red Stripe, 2 of Carib.” It prints under the item and goes out with Send.
Drinks aboard lists every drink. Soda and mixers are separate, and Other drinks covers the rest.
Food that won’t keep is one warning naming the meals by day, with Won’t keep on each meal.
A new look: the Rainbow’s End seal on the icon, the logo’s colors in daylight, and larger buttons and rows. Anything you turn on or off is a switch, and a delete asks for a second tap.
On the iPad, the Calendar grid grows with a larger text size.
Fixed: the first day defaulted to tomorrow in the evening; clearing a quantity on the list to type a new one.
