Questions

One purchase gives you both versions of the package: a Notion template you duplicate in one click, and an Obsidian vault you download. Both include reference notes, task and port templates, checklists and the contract dashboard. Your first year of monthly update packs is included.

The Complete Package is ₱2,499 and includes the first year of updates. After that, update membership renews for ₱499 per year.

Yes. The Complete Package is ₱999 for students and deck cadets who have not yet embarked on another vessel as an Officer, Trainee Officer or Rating. You confirm this at checkout, and we may ask for proof before activating your order.

While the store opens, payment is by GCash or bank transfer. After you place an order you will see the payment details and your order number. We activate your library as soon as the payment is confirmed. Card and e-wallet checkout is planned.

See the Refund Policy page. It is a draft until it has been reviewed, so please read it before you pay.

You keep everything you already downloaded and every update pack released while your membership was active. New update packs need an active membership, which renews for ₱499 per year. If you do not renew, nothing you own is taken away.

Yes. I am a 3rd Mate now. A 2nd Mate package is coming after I become one. Stay tuned, and make a free account so you hear about it first.

I will publish video tutorials on YouTube, separately for Notion and Obsidian and for each device: phone, tablet and desktop. They will be linked on the Tutorials page as they are published.

No. The notes are reminders and study aids written in plain words. They are not controlled procedures, legal or medical advice, or evidence of compliance. Always follow your company's procedures and the official texts.

The licence is personal: for you, on your own devices. Please do not resell or share it. If a friend wants it, send them here. It keeps updates and support going.

Pros: the easiest start, one click to duplicate, works on phone, tablet and desktop, and it syncs between your devices. Cons: it needs internet for most things and offline support is limited, which matters on a ship. Free personal plans have some limits.

Pros: your notes are plain files on your own device, so it works fully offline, it is fast, and nobody can take it away from you. Cons: a few more setup steps (unzip, open as a vault, turn on the New Note menu), and syncing between devices is something you arrange yourself.

If you want the easiest start and have decent internet, choose Notion. If you are often offline or want to own your files, choose Obsidian. You get both for one price, so you can start with Notion and move later.

Both have free personal plans that are enough to use Auto3M. You are buying the notes, templates and dashboard, not the software.

Modern Marino is the brand: practical tools for working seafarers, made by a working seafarer. Auto3M (Auto 3rd Mate) is its first product, for deck officers at the 3rd Mate rank. Future ranks will follow the same pattern.

Email the support address in the footer. I am often at sea with slow internet, so replies can take a couple of days. The Tutorials and this FAQ cover the common questions.

We keep your email, your orders and download logs, and nothing else about you. We never see or store your card details. See the Privacy Policy for the full detail.
