What is Cachly?
Cachly is a full-featured geocaching client built on top of the official Geocaching.com (Groundspeak) service. It’s designed around an offline-first philosophy: you can download caches, maps and photos ahead of time and find caches with no cell signal, then submit your saved logs from Pending Logs once you’re back online.
Beyond the basics, Cachly offers advanced tools that experienced cachers rely on — coordinate projection, multi-user logging, highlights, filter and text templates, GPX import/export, pocket queries, and deep offline vector maps.
