Tidal Labs
Capture Your Surf Highlights
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Turn your iPhone and Apple Watch into a surf filming setup. Tag waves from your wrist, import the footage, and get an auto-trimmed highlight reel!
Tidal Labs turns your Apple Watch and iPhone into a hands-free surf filming system.
Set up your iPhone on a beach tripod or mount pointed at the lineup, strap on your Apple Watch, and paddle out. When you catch a wave, scroll the Digital Crown up on your watch to log a precise timestamp. 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 Apple Watch before paddling out
3. Scroll the Digital Crown up each time you catch a wave to log a timestamp
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
