Peakist
For where to go
and where you've been.
Peakist is an of app to help hikers keep track of their visits to various peaks. There are many peaks to see and lists to track. Peakist helps you keep a record of where you went and when. Some people call this "Peak Bagging". We like to think it's more than just bagging a peak. It's getting outside, seeing new places and learning what's out there.
Peakist version 3.0 is available now! This update includes new features, and of course, a few new lists. The big new features are photos and weather. You can now save photos with your visits to help document your journey. When planning few things are more important than the weather. Peakist now shows a 10 day weather forecast for locations. Be safe and know before you go.
Improvements are all over the app. The app should load much faster with a complete rewrite of the underlying data system. Parking/Camping & Favorite lists should work better. Dynamic text sizing now works even better.
Four new lists including US High Points. Now you can track your visits to the highest points in each US state. Two new lists for "Downstate" New York with the Downstate 28er and Downstate Fire Lookout Challenges. The Taconic 12er tracks peaks across three states.
Peakist includes lists to track peak visits all across the US with more lists being added all the time.
Support for dozens of peak bagging lists (and some not peaks at all.) Something for hikers and wanderers of all abilities.

Peakist was created by the folks at Squirrel Point Studios in beautiful upstate New York.
When you need a fresh idea on where to venture, Peakist has a curated list of peaks to visit.
Are you a completionist who has to visit all the peaks? Peakist will help you keep a record of your visits to all the peaks.
Are you the ultimate completionist type? Grids may be for you. A Hiking Grid is taking a peak bagging list and completing the list in each season of the year (Seasonal Grid) or every month of the year (Annual Grid.) Peakist has grid support to help you track your obsession.
Select from several different map styles including satellite and topographic!
New for Peakist v3.0! Include photos with your visits. Document all your adventures by saving photos along with the visit information. Take a shot on the trail or add from your devices photo library.
New for Peakist v3.0! See a 10 day weather forecast for any location. Nothing can ruin a trip quicker than bad weather. Now Peakist let's you see the upcoming forecast to help with trip planning.
While Peakist is not intended to be a navigation tool while hiking (there are many great apps already for this!) it will help you navigate to the area or a preferred parking spot. Integration with Apple Maps allows quickly getting directions from home to the peaks. Peakist also allows exporting GPS coordinates or GPX data for integration with other apps.
In addition to exporting a location as GPX file for sharing with your favorite application or device, you can now export all your visit data. Support for exporting to plain text, comma separated values (CSV) or even JSON.
Peakist features the locations of many camping and parking areas so you can see where you can access the peaks or even plan an extended stay in the woods. Currently limited to the Catskills and Adirondacks, where New York State provides parking and camping information.
Peakist will sync your visit information between your iPhone, iPad and Mac automatically via iCloud. Plan your next hike at your desk, record your visit on the top of the mountain and review your accomplishments on your iPad.
Peakist only uses iCloud to share your visit information between your devices. None of your visit information is public. It's your information. We don't track it, sell it or share it.
Drop us a note if you have suggestions for lists/locations to be included in the app.
