Built for Northern Europe — Surflert continuously tracks your local and remote surf conditions and alerts you when they start to line up with your requirements. Surfing in Northern Europe is about timing. Surflert continuously evaluates surf conditions using YR forecast data, tuned specifically for Northern Europe. Instead of global averages, we focus on local detail — where missing the right hour means missing the session. Surflert keeps watch so you don’t have to and helps you catch the windows daily updates often miss. Whether you’re waiting for the kind of conditions that happen once a year, want to keep an eye on a remote spot, or aiming for more everyday sessions, Surflert adapts to how you surf. Features: Set your own conditions Create custom alerts based on wind, swell, direction, temperature, rain, daylight, days of the week, and time ranges. See all spots at a glance Ope…
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 10 screenshots above are Surflert's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Surflert runs a mixed light-and-dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #9CACAC) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #8CDCFC, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
