SummitList is a peak-bagging tracker for hikers chasing lists. Build the challenges that matter to you, log every summit with the story of the day, and watch your elevation and progress add up. No account, no tracking. Everything lives on your device and in your private iCloud, and syncs across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. PEAK LISTS, YOURS TO BUILD Start with the Adirondack 46 High Peaks, ready to go, or build your own list from any peaks you want to chase. Every list shows a completion ring, peaks bagged, and how many you have left. LOG EVERY SUMMIT Record each climb with the date, route, conditions, elevation gained, distance, who came along, and a photo from the top. Your summit log becomes a trip journal you will actually reread. ELEVATION AND RECORDS See your total elevation gained, a month by month climb chart, your highest summit, biggest day, distance hiked, and your active month streak. Every number comes from your own logs. THE NEXT OBJECTIVE Mark the peak you want next as a planned objective, set a target date, and turn on a reminder the day before. Your next climb sits on the home screen with a countdown. LIST COMPLETION PROGRESS Rings and bars track how far you are through every challenge, from your first summit to a finished list. ON EVERY SCREEN YOU OWN SummitList syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud. The iPad and Mac layouts put your lists beside the detail, a proper board for a peak-bagging season.
