What Creel does
Creel is the private catch journal for anglers who take their fishing seriously and their spots seriously. Log every catch — species, length, weight, lure or bait, water type, a weather note, and a photo — in the time it takes to unhook the fish. Mark a spot as secret and it stays that way: no account, no sync, no public map ever sees it. Back at home, flip through your personal bests by species, see which lures dominated which month, and compare your catch rate across water types. Season stats build automatically so you can walk into next season knowing exactly what worked. No subscription. No registration. No internet required, ever. Creel lives entirely on your device using SwiftData, so your hard-earned knowledge belongs only to you. • Catch log: species, length/weight, lure, photo, notes • Secret spots — never uploaded, never shared • Personal bests per species updated automatically • Stats by species, lure, water type, and month • Catch-and-release flag and tag notes • 100% offline, zero account required

Season Stats
Charts by species, lure, water type, and calendar month show catch totals and trends, helping anglers identify what is actually working across a season.
Why it exists
The problem
Anglers who have built up hard-earned knowledge of productive spots are reluctant to use cloud-connected social fishing apps like Fishbrain — which earned a 'spot burner' reputation before adding privacy toggles — so they fall back to paper notebooks, spreadsheets, or WhatsApp group photos that offer no structured sta…
What's different
How Creel stands out
A fully offline, no-account catch journal that pairs structured catch logging (species, size, lure, photo) with a secrets-first spot system and automatic personal-best and season stats — unlike social platforms (Fishbrain, ANGLR) it never connects to a network and never presents a privacy toggle users have to remember…
