About

Trailhead

Features
Read full description

Trailhead turns distraction-free work into a simulated hike through America's national parks. Choose what you want to finish, set a focus duration, select a trail, and start your focus timer. Completed sessions build toward your trail’s destination, and your place is saved for next time. Your session percentage and time remaining stay visible on the Lock Screen, so checking progress does not mean opening your phone. FOCUS WITH A DESTINATION - Build toward a destination across completed focus sessions - Return to your saved intention, trail, duration, and soundscape - Finish with a recap of your focused time and earned trail progress - See route completion, distance, time, and a moving hiker - Keep progress visible with a Lock Screen Live Activity - Unlock milestones as your total focused miles grow EXPLORE NATIONAL PARK TRAILS - Browse all 63 designated U.S. national parks - Load publicly available trails from the National Park Service - Cache trail catalogs for quicker return visits CREATE YOUR SOUND ENVIRONMENT Choose from forest, rain, white noise, brown noise, pink noise, mountain air, ocean waves, alpine creek, campfire, and night crickets. PROTECT YOUR ATTENTION With your permission, Trailhead uses Apple's Screen Time technology to shield the distracting apps you choose during a focus session. Your choices stay under Apple's privacy-preserving controls. FREE TO EXPLORE, PLUS FOR UNLIMITED HIKES Trailhead is free to download. You can browse every park and trail, preview soundscapes, configure Screen Time, view your journey, and complete your first focus hike at no charge. Starting additional focus hikes requires a separate auto-renewable Trailhead Plus purchase. Trailhead Plus is $34.99/year or $4.99/month in the U.S. and includes Family Sharing. Eligible subscribers can start with a 14-day introductory free trial. Prices may vary by region. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Trailhead is a focus timer and simulated journey, not a navigation or trail-safety app. Trail availability, closures, and conditions can change; consult official park guidance before visiting.
