# Rivolu

> Rivolu LLC is an independent software company in the United States that makes native apps for outdoor adventure: tides, wind, waves, weather, light, the moon and birds. Its apps run on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Android. The flagship app, Tide Alert, is rated 4.8 out of 5 from more than 44,000 ratings on the App Store. Rivolu also makes App Desk, an App Store Connect and Apple Ads client for app developers, and two Mac menu bar utilities.

Rivolu's apps are built for anglers, boaters, surfers, kitesurfers, pilots, birders and photographers: people who plan their day around the tide, the wind or the light. Each app does one job, is built natively for its platform, and keeps working offline where that matters.
