WilhelmSK¶
WilhelmSK is a marine instrument display app for iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS. It connects to your boat's data — from a SignalK server, a Victron Venus device over MQTT, or an NMEA 2000/0183 gateway from Actisense, Yacht Devices, or Digital Yacht — and renders live readings as customizable analog and digital gauges: wind, speed, heading, depth, engine, tanks, electrical, autopilot, AIS, and any custom path.
Discovery is automatic via Bonjour. Manual host/port entry is also supported.
Get the App¶
Search WilhelmSK on the App Store. One purchase covers iPhone and iPad. The Apple Watch app installs automatically from your iPhone.
