Darker Tides
New Zealand tide times on your Home Screen.
Darker Tides is a beautiful, private tide app for Aotearoa. Glance at the widget for the next high or low, or open the app for a smooth three-day tide curve and a seven-day timetable for 88 ports from Northland to Stewart Island.
What you get
- Home Screen widget. See the current tide and what’s coming next without opening the app, with a live curve that reads at a glance.
- Every major NZ port. 88 ports from Northland to Stewart Island, including the Chatham Islands, in a searchable, region-grouped picker.
- Official data. Tide predictions from Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand (LINZ), computed right on your device.
- Works offline. Everything is bundled with the app. No connection needed, and nothing downloaded.
- Private by design. No account, no ads, no tracking, and no data collected. Nothing leaves your device.
- Tide times free, the rest buy once. Tide times are free for every port. The widgets, alerts and Lock Screen tide are free for 14 days, then one purchase. No subscriptions, ever.
Designed for every appearance
The app icon and widget were built specifically for each iOS appearance mode, not adapted as an afterthought. Both are hand-tuned for Dark, Tinted (mono), and Clear (Liquid Glass), with a tide curve that conveys rising and falling without relying on colour. Darker Tides stays legible and at home however you style your Home Screen.
