Your tide, right now.
This is a real Wavepane screen, drawn by the same thing that draws the one on the wall. Watch it move through the next turn of the tide — half an hour of water per five seconds.
Finding your coast…

What you're looking at
The water level is where the tide actually is, this minute. The wave on top is the ocean itself — calm days draw a flatter line, big days draw a rougher one. Off to the side: when the tide turns next, and how high or low it gets.
A Wavepane on your wall wakes every half hour and redraws, then goes back to sleep. That's the whole interaction. No app to open, no notification, no screen asking for your attention — just a picture that happens to be true.
