Record on the boat
Plantings, splits and harvests from a phone in about fifteen seconds — field, colour, how many bags — while the boat is still moving.
The tide keeps
its own ledger.
Propel sea farms forward.
Tidalyst is farm-management software for shellfish and aquaculture operations — a web app your crew uses on a phone, on the water.
It is the system of record for a working farm: standing inventory, field entry that survives the boat, and seed performance you can buy against. Built with the crews who plant, split, and pull the bags.
What it does
Everything below comes from the same entries the crew already makes on the water. Nothing is a second round of data entry, and nothing is summarized by guesswork.
Standing inventory
Every bag in and every bag out is counted for you, so what is in the water is a number you read rather than a day you spend.
Seed performance
Which hatchery’s seed actually became bags, and bushels per bag — across the whole crop, not a sample or a feeling.
Sales and buyers
What was sold, to whom, for how much, and what is still owed — tied back to the lot it came out of.
Water conditions
Readings from your sites and nearby monitoring stations, kept alongside the crop they explain.
Reports that file
The USDA acreage report (FSA-578) is generated from the ledger, not typed a second time from it.
What it looks like
A real farm on the software, captured from the app itself. The records below belong to Tidewater Demo Farm, which is not a real business — no grower’s yields, buyers or prices appear on this page.
HOME — what is in the water, and what the water is doing
INSIGHTS — which hatchery’s seed actually became bags
ON THE BOAT — three taps and a number
What it costs
One price, monthly, cancel whenever. Unlimited people on your farm — we don’t charge per crew member, because the whole thing only works if everybody records what they did.
$50
/ month, first year
$100
/ month after that

Your numbers are yours: no other farm can see them, and that is enforced by the database rather than promised. Full details for growers
How we build it
A farm is more than inventory: a living crop, a bay that changes, a crew, a list of buyers — and usually a family’s living. Four commitments decide whether any of that is safe to put in software.
- The record is the farm’s An owner or manager can download the farm’s whole operational record as CSV from inside the app, any day, without asking us. We don’t sell farm data, and no farm can see another’s — the database enforces that rather than a promise.
- Numbers as they are A conversion that missed is shown as below target, or as a crop failure, in those words. A dashboard that flatters you is worse than no dashboard, because you will act on it.
- Corrections, never rewrites The ledger is append-only: a correction is recorded beside the original entry, not over it. The history stays intact, which is what makes it worth showing a buyer, a lender or a regulator.
- The call stays yours The software counts the bags and fills in the form. What to plant, when to pull and who to sell to belongs to the people who know the water, and we build so it stays there.
Better stewardship. Stronger farms. Thriving coasts.
