Loops from your door
Loops with the climb you asked for
No end point needed. Summit tries loops in several directions and keeps the ones closest to your target.
Climb a real mountain, one neighborhood walk at a time.
Tell Summit how much climb you want. It finds walking loops from where you stand that have it, counts every foot with your iPhone's barometer, and banks it toward a peak you choose, from Cowles Mountain to Everest.
111 peaks to climb, from San Diego warm-ups to the Seven Summits.

How it works
-
01
Ask for a climb
Pick anywhere from 100 to 3,000 ft. Summit scouts the hills around you and hands back real walking loops that have it, with the elevation profile on each, so you see the hill before you commit.
-
02
Walk it
The barometer counts every foot you gain, on the route or off it. Your progress sits on the lock screen, and the walk keeps recording with the screen off or the phone in airplane mode.
-
03
Bank it on a mountain
Every walk's climb goes toward your peak: how high you are, the next landmark on the real route up, and the day the page is stamped Summited.
What's in it
Route apps aim for distance. Summit aims for climb, so the hill is the point, not an accident.

Wander and it still counts
The plan is drawn in pencil and your walk inks over it. Take the detour; every foot goes in the log.

Your peak on your home screen
Widgets for the home and lock screen show how far up you are without opening the app.
Sunset · 7:11 pmpaper → ink
Turns dark at your sunset
Paper by day, ink by night
The app follows your actual local sunrise and sunset, so an evening walk doesn't start with a glaring screen.
Your mountain, filled in walk by walk
Pick a peak and it becomes a page. Each walk floods it a little higher, past the base camps and landmarks of the real route.
Keep a steady pace and Summit tells you the day you'll top out. Finish, and the page is stamped and goes on your summit shelf.

Every walk ends with a card
The number, the trail you actually took, and how far up the mountain it moved you.
Save it to Photos and post it to Strava, or send it to whoever you're walking against.

What it won't do
It doesn't need an account
No sign-up, no login, no Summit server. Open it and walk.
It doesn't send your walks anywhere
Your paths, climb and peaks stay on your iPhone. Planning sends only your start and end points to the route service. Read the privacy policy.
It doesn't show ads or sell data
Summit is free, with no in-app purchases, no ads and no analytics.
It doesn't inflate your climb
GPS noise is smoothed out and small wobbles don't count, so a flat walk stays flat. How climb is counted.
Your first peak is closer than it looks.
Summit is heading to TestFlight. Leave your email and you'll get one message when the beta opens, and nothing else.
