## What is Peakaboo?

What mountain is that?

Point your iPhone at the skyline and Peakaboo shows nearby named summits on
the live camera view with their names, elevations, and distances. Use the
camera in portrait or landscape; labels adapt to the available view and stay
clear of the main controls. No account is required.

TERRAIN STATUS YOU CAN TRUST
Where terrain coverage is available, Peakaboo checks the ground between you
and a summit. If a ridge hides a peak, it is not presented as terrain-visible.
If coverage is still downloading or unavailable, Peakaboo marks that status
instead of claiming a clear line of sight. Known-blocked peaks are excluded;
dashed labels indicate terrain visibility is unverified.

A COMPASS YOU CAN TRUST
Phone compasses drift — near cars, chairlifts, and metal roofs, every AR
app points a little wrong. Peakaboo is honest about it: a confidence light
tells you when the compass is settling, coaches the ten-second fix, and if
a label still sits beside its summit, just drag it onto the right one — the
whole view re-aligns instantly.

PREPARE FOR YOUR NEXT TRIP
Peak names and terrain for your surroundings download automatically, are
validated, and remain on your phone for later use. In About, open Offline areas
to select a place and save a circle of data before your trip. Keep the app open
while downloading; interrupted downloads resume from validated files. After
moving, your viewing range may extend beyond the saved circle. A new uncovered
area needs a connection before it can be cached.

THE DETAILS
• Live camera view with summits labeled in place — pan freely, labels stick
• Portrait and landscape camera layouts that keep labels clear of controls
• Nearby named summits, with terrain-confirmed and terrain-unverified states
• Terrain-aware visibility where coverage is available

• Drag-to-align compass correction with one-tap undo
• Distance and elevation in your local units
• English, German and French interfaces
• Downloads that follow your selected viewing distance, including northern regions
• No account or analytics; camera and identification stay on device
