Years of marks in your old app? They come with you.

Export from your old app or chartplotter as GPX, KML, or CSV and feed the file straight in — one import takes up to 10,000 marks. Got catches living in your camera roll? Import the photos: the app reads the date each shot was taken and builds the entry with the tide and moon worked out for that exact moment, up to 200 photos a day. That snapper from three winters back comes in knowing what the tide was doing.

Everything imported is private to you, same as anything you log fresh.

Fifteen knots is a write-off in a kayak and a decent day in a hardtop. So you set your own numbers once — what wind, swell, and rain you'll actually fish in, how much you rate tide against moon against pressure, your usual methods and target species. From then on every rating in the app is measured against YOUR fishing, not some average angler who doesn't exist.

Here's what the shoebox of pins never told you: WHEN. Because every catch stores its conditions, Fishing Codex learns what your water actually produces on — which tide stage, which moon, which season. The best-times screen rates about a month ahead. With App Pro it goes the final step: it ranks your own marks by how well today lines up with the days you truly caught — so it's "the point bite is on two hours before high, be there at six", not "fish are biting somewhere".

Imported marks are private. Tracks never leave your phone at all. Even if you one day publish an entry for claiming or unlocking, the public only ever sees a rough ~10 km blob on a heat map — the true position goes to the person who claims or unlocks it, and no one else. Privacy here isn't a toggle someone can flip; it's how the thing is built.
