Build a cozy tidal cove into a thriving harbor.
Questions, a bug, or an idea? We'd love to hear from you.
We aim to respond within a few business days.
Place buildings along your cove — fishing huts, kelp farms, a lighthouse, and more — and watch each one earn Shells every second, even while you're away. Tap buildings for bonus collections, drag everything to arrange your cove exactly how you like it, and "Set Sail" to reset for a permanent production boost and a brand new biome look.
Your progress is stored only on your device. There is no account and no sign-up.

Tidepool Tycoon does not require an account and never asks for personal information. Your cove layout, buildings, Shells, Pearls, streaks, and settings are stored only on your device. They are never transmitted to us, and we operate no servers that receive them.
Tidepool Tycoon can send a local notification when your harbor's offline earnings are ready to collect. These are scheduled and delivered entirely on your device using Apple's local notification system — nothing is sent from a server. You can disable them anytime in Settings.
Tidepool Tycoon offers optional one-time purchases (Castaway Pack, Harbormaster Deed, Founder's Chest), consumable Pearl packs, and an auto-renewing subscription (Tidepool Club). All purchases are processed entirely by Apple's App Store; we do not receive or store your payment information. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period — manage or cancel anytime in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions.
The free version of Tidepool Tycoon is supported by ads served by Google AdMob, including optional rewarded ads you choose to watch for an in-game bonus. AdMob may collect and process device information (such as advertising identifiers and general app-interaction data) to serve and measure ads, as described in Google's Privacy Policy and AdMob's data practices. Ads are removed entirely after purchasing Castaway Pack, Founder's Chest, or an active Tidepool Club subscription.
On first launch, iOS will ask whether Tidepool Tycoon may track your activity. If you choose "Ask App Not to Track," ads will still appear but will not be personalized using cross-app identifiers. You can change this anytime in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
Tidepool Tycoon is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page.
