## What is LiveHeight?

LiveHeight turns your iPhone's built-in barometer into a precision altimeter that reveals altitude changes as small as a few centimeters, live, on a clean dashboard with a real-time sparkline.
  
PRECISION ALTITUDE
• Live altitude from the iPhone's barometric sensor
• Altitude above sea level, fused from GPS and the barometer
• Real-time sparkline to watch every rise and fall 
• Metric or imperial units
  
STORM WATCH (works offline)
• Tracks atmospheric pressure trends to warn you before storms roll in
• No signal needed, built for the backcountry
• Optional background monitoring, off by default and fully under your control
  
BUILT FOR HIKING
• Track a hike and save it to Apple Health as a workout
• Topographic maps and 3D terrain views
• Elevation profiles and terrain lookups for the trail ahead
• Hike prep cards with the essentials before you set off
• Outdoor conversion tool for multiple occasions
• Sunset times so you know how much daylight is left
• Emergency mode: continuous location tracking, then a power-saving standby that keeps your position findable for days
   so rescuers can reach you
  
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no tracking
• Your readings stay on your device
• Health data is never sold or shared
  
Whether you're chasing a summit, watching the weather turn, or just curious how high you are right now, LiveHeight gives you the numbers instantly and accurately.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-06-10

Version 1.1
• Auto-detect hikes: forgot to press Start? LiveHeight can notice you are hiking and start recording for you. Off by default, motion-gated so car and train rides never trigger it, with a notification you can keep or dismiss.
• A beautiful new 3D Route view: your hike as a smooth elevation-colored ribbon with peak, low point, steepest climb and your own markers called out. Rotate your phone for a fullscreen panorama.
• Smoother storm watch and permission handling, plus many small fixes.

### 1.0 — 2026-06-08
