Record your hikes, plan your own trails and use your maps offline, on iPhone and Apple Watch. No sign-up, no ads, no tracking: your hikes sync only through your own iCloud. Open-source secure app.
RECORD EVERY HIKE
Tap record and put your phone away. OpenHikes records with the screen off, uses the barometer for accurate elevation and recovers your recording if the app closes. Control it with Siri, Control Center, the Live Activity or your Apple Watch.
PLAN YOUR OWN TRAILS
Add stops on the map or search for places. Your route follows mapped paths, so you know the real distance before you go. See springs, huts and viewpoints along the way, then save the trail and follow it.
MAPS THAT WORK OFFLINE
OpenStreetMap is the default and always free. Areas you have viewed are saved automatically and still work offline. Color your route by difficulty or steepness.
FIND NEW TRAILS
Browse hikes other people have shared nearby, and signposted routes from OpenStreetMap. Save one and follow it like your own. Sharing yours is free, and a person reviews every hike before it is published.
PHOTOS AND PLACES
Photos are pinned where you took them. Mark viewpoints, summits, water and shelters along a trail. After a hike, share it as an image with your photo, route and stats.
GPX IN, GPX OUT
Open GPX files from Files, Mail or AirDrop, with statistics and an interactive elevation profile. Export a hike as GPX, or as a ZIP file with its photos.
