## What is ITMO?

Know if The Mountain is out before you head out.

ITMO turns live neighbor reports into a clear, local read on whether Mount Rainier (known by more than 20 Indigenous names across the region's tribes, including Tahoma and Tacoma, "the mother of waters") is visible right now. One glance answers the question every Puget Sound local asks.

What you can do
• See the current verdict on The Mountain
• Call it out in one tap when you catch a clear view
• Watch the live map light up as reports roll in
• Check recent photos and webcam views before you head out
• Share a clean report card to your socials
• Climb the leaderboard and earn Tahoma Tokens for every sighting

Private by design
Every report is anonymized to a ~300m hex on an H3 grid. You share the view, never your exact location.

Built for the PNW
Made for slow mornings, last-minute plans, and everyone around Seattle and Tacoma waiting for a clear horizon. Free to join.

### 5/5 — Fun

*2026-09-20*

Grey for mountain spotting and on the days I don’t get out of bed early enough I can check out reports to see if the mountains out.

### 5/5 — LOVE

*2026-09-17*

If you’re in the PNW this is a must! Showcase when the mountain is out. So easy to use. I love it

### 5/5 — Great Stuff!

*2026-09-16*

Wonderful app that allows people to report and share their experiences with the beautiful mountain we live under. The photos and webcams section allows a near real time view of the mountain from most popular areas. It’s nice to know when the mountain is out, and it’s always a joy to report my own sighting. Sharing your own photos from hikes and even scenic drives becomes the highlight of your day.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-08-29*

Love this app.  It lets me know when my favorite mt is visible.  And love the rainier webcams available in the app- it’s great to have a centralized location for them.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.2 — 2026-09-19

Your report photo always makes it now. Submitting waits for the photo to finish preparing instead of sending the report without it, and a report you queued up can no longer arrive with the photo quietly missing.

Times on share cards always read with AM or PM, even if your phone is set to a 24 hour clock.

Less waiting when the signal is poor. Profile, Benchmarks and Community give up on a stalled request and show you something instead of spinning.

Plus a long run of fixes underneath for reliability and speed.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-09-18

Report photos look right again. Opening a report with a photo now fills the sheet at the shape it was taken in, instead of shrinking to a speck at the top.

Your report history stays put. Signing out and back in, or leaving the app for a while, no longer empties the list of reports on your profile.

Less waiting. Profile and Benchmarks used to pause on the network every time you opened them. They now remember what you have earned, and they stop waiting instead of spinning when the connection is poor.

Plus a long run of under the hood fixes for speed and reliability.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-17

Lots of updates under the hood on this version... The big one is benchmarks got improved! 

And for those people who love streaks... Two streaks rank higher: the 30-Day Streak is now Silver and the 90-Day Streak is now Gold.

Plus we updated the share cards to show off our new instagram/threads handle: "@isthemountainout"

### 1.1.2 — 2026-09-12

Fourteen new Benchmarks to earn.

New places to be spotted from: the I-90 and SR-520 bridges, Lumen Field, T-Mobile Park, the Seattle ferries, and Crystal Mountain.

Photo streaks: add a photo to your reports on consecutive days and earn a marker at three, seven, fourteen, thirty, sixty and ninety days.

Two for good timing: catch The Mountain during golden hour, and report on National Public Lands Day.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-12

Big news: Benchmarks are here! Earn stamped survey markers for watching The Mountain, each carrying its own name and the date you earned it. Tilt your phone and the metal catches the light.

Leaderboards worth opening. Every board now has its own screen, including a longest-streak board, with your rank pinned even when you are off the list.

Your photo, front and center. Add a photo to a report and it leads the success screen at full size. Photos in the report detail now run edge to edge.

Cooler and clearer. The Profile screen no longer warms your phone up, and reports rejected outside daylight hours now explain why.
