The difference

Other apps show you a chart.
LIR tells you what you need to know.

A senior pilot doesn't hand you a chart and walk away. They tell you what's ahead. What to watch for. What your specific boat can and can't do. That's LIR.

Question a captain actually asks Chart apps LIR
"My Cat 3406 is running hot — what should I check?" Real engineering answer from 25 engine manuals
"Is it safe to leave for Charleston tomorrow with my 4.5 ft draft?" Vessel-specific passage analysis with weather, tides, and active LNM notices
"What lights do I display anchored in a designated anchorage?" Pulled from the actual CFR — Rule and text cited
"What's the current at Hell Gate this afternoon?" Live NOAA CO-OPS prediction for your exact departure time
Three ways to use the crewmate

Ask anything.

Ask LIR answering a maritime question with real-time data tools

An AI crewmate with the working knowledge of a Master Mariner. Type a question — engineering, regulations, navigation, passage planning — and get a real answer from real sources.

Example questions
"What lights does a vessel restricted in ability to maneuver display at night?" "My coolant temp is climbing — common causes on a Cat 3208?" "How do I anchor properly in 25 feet with 15 knots of wind?" "Explain Rule 14 of COLREGS"

Built by a captain. For captains.

This came from the wheelhouse, not a conference room.

Most maritime software is built by software people who hired a consultant to "make sure it's accurate."

LIR is different. It was built by Captain Jonathon Snedeker — a USCG Licensed Master in three modes: Oceans, Towing, and Western Rivers. Active commercial captain. He built LIR because the planning tools he needed in the wheelhouse didn't exist.

The result is a tool built on real commercial experience — by a captain who has worked every waterway it covers.

FAQ

Questions captains ask.

Is LIR a navigation app? +

Not yet. LIR today is an AI crewmate that answers questions, briefs passages, and gives you situational awareness anywhere on US waters. The chart view and full navigation features are on the roadmap.

Why is LIR more expensive than nav apps? +

LIR isn't a nav app. It's something nav apps don't do — a real AI assistant trained on actual maritime knowledge with a captain's judgment. The price reflects what it actually replaces (asking a senior pilot a question), not what charts cost.

Who built LIR? +

Captain Jonathon Snedeker — USCG Licensed Master (Oceans, Towing, Western Rivers). An active commercial captain who built LIR because the planning tools he needed in the wheelhouse didn't exist. Built by XeroHuman AI LLC.

What waterways does LIR cover? +

Strong coverage on the Atlantic ICW (Maine to Key West), Gulf ICW (Florida to Texas), the 12 major Western Rivers (Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Cumberland, Illinois, Tenn-Tom, Allegheny, Monongahela, Arkansas, Red, Ouachita, Black Warrior), Chesapeake Bay, Great Lakes connecting channels, and full US offshore coverage.

Will my vessel data stay private? +

Yes. Vessel brain data is yours alone and never shared with other users or used to train models.

Can I cancel anytime? +

Yes. No long-term contracts. Cancel anytime from your account settings.

What does LIR cost to run — why credits? +

Each Ask LIR query runs through multiple AI models and pulls from up to 14 live data sources. Credits let us meter the actual compute cost fairly — you only spend what you use. A typical Ask LIR query costs around 600 credits. The free tier gives you 2,500 to start, which covers several full queries with tool calls.
