Checklists (your own and the ship’s)
Build checklists, let SeaReady AI turn your company form into one or take a ready-made one; fill them in on the phone and see what is due.

What it is for
Checklists keeps the checklists you use on board in one place: your own, built from scratch or made by SeaReady AI from your company’s form; ready-made ones from the SeaReady library; and the ship’s, shared with everyone aboard. You fill them in on the phone one section at a time, with photos, notes and signatures, print a clean record, and the app shows what is due and what is overdue.
This page is the overview. Each part has its own page: building your own checklist, turning a company form into one with SeaReady AI, filling in, signing and printing, the ready-made library, and the Master’s crew board.
Who can use it
Everyone. Free plan: up to 3 checklists of your own and the first 3 ready-made checklists in each library group, filled in as often as you like on the phone. Crew, Officer Pro, the 14-day trial and the ship licence: as many as you need, kept on all your own phones, the whole library, plus AI form conversion, the history PDF and e-mail reminders. Sharing a checklist with the whole ship needs Officer Pro, the trial or a ship licence; on a ship the Master, Chief Officer and Chief Engineer change the ship’s checklists, and the Master can add anyone under “Also allowed to edit”.
Step by step
- Open "Checklists" from the Ship & crew menu. The tabs are "Due" (overdue, due now, due soon, and what to do before departure or arrival), "Mine", "Ship", "Library" and "History".
- Get a checklist: tap "Build a checklist", "Turn a form into a checklist (AI)", or open the "Library" tab and tap "Use" on a ready-made one.
- Open a checklist and tap "Start". Answer section by section, tap "Finish", sign, and print the record if you need paper.
- Set "How often" on each checklist so the "Due" tab, the Dashboard card "Checklists due" and the e-mail reminders know when it is next due.
- On a ship, "Share to ship" puts a copy in the ship file for everyone aboard; the Master follows it all on the "Master’s crew board".
Tips
- Start with the checklists your inspectors ask about most, then add your company forms one by one.
- Changing a checklist makes a new version; records already started keep the questions they started with.
What the inspector looks for
- Signed, dated records with photos for routine checks, done on time, and a clear trail from a failed item to a raised finding and its close-out.
Limits and good to know
- Free plan: up to 3 checklists of your own (after a downgrade your 3 oldest stay usable; the rest become read-only, nothing is deleted) and the first 3 ready-made checklists in each library group; filling in is unlimited and photos stay on the phone; printing one record uses one of the 3 free prints a month (with the SeaReady mark); no AI form conversion, history PDF or e-mail reminders. Due and overdue show in the app on every plan.
- Crew: as many of your own checklists as you need, kept on all your own phones; photos in your own cloud space (500 MB); AI form conversion; history PDF; e-mail reminders. Officer Pro and the trial add "Share to ship". Ship licence: ship checklists for everyone aboard, photos in the ship’s cloud space (2 GB), records kept for 3 years.
- Everything works offline and is kept on the phone. Ship checklists and their records reach the other phones through our server when the ship’s Wi-Fi has internet — never phone to phone.
- E-mail reminders cover checklists due monthly or less often; daily and weekly ones show in the app only.
- Your own checklists are seen only by you until you share one with the ship.
