The difference
One app to replace the chaos
Before PeakBound
- Routes in one app, gear in a spreadsheet
- Elevation guesses from blog posts
- Screenshots of trail maps
- Day plans scrawled on paper
With PeakBound
- Route, gear, and meals in one view
- Precise elevation data per segment
- Interactive maps with contours
- Structured day-by-day itinerary
Gear Management
Never forget a piece of gear again
Forgotten tent stakes. Duplicate rain layers between partners. No idea what your pack actually weighs until you're on the trail. Sound familiar? PeakBound fixes all of it.
Categories
Shelter Items
Weight Tracking
Real-time pack weight totals broken down by category. Set target weights and get visual warnings when you exceed them.
Gear Templates
Save proven gear lists as templates. Reuse them across trips and share with your group so everyone starts prepared.
Category Organization
Shelter, sleep, cook, clothing, navigation, safety — every item categorized so nothing gets overlooked.
15–25% more weight
The average backpacker carries 15–25% more weight than needed. Smart gear management isn't just about comfort — it's about going farther with less fatigue.
Intake & Hydration
Fuel your adventure, day by day
Running out of food on day three. Packing 2,000 calories when you need 4,000. Forgetting a group member's allergy. Meal planning for the backcountry is harder than it looks — until now.
450 cal remaining
Calorie Tracking
Track daily calorie intake against targets based on exertion level, elevation gain, and pack weight.
Auto Shopping Lists
Generate complete, consolidated shopping lists from your meal plan. Sorted by store aisle, scaled to group size.
Day-by-Day Organization
Plan meals for each day of your trip with per-day nutrition totals and weight estimates for food carry.
Hydration Planning
Water source tracking along your route with carry capacity planning and hydration reminders based on conditions.
3,000 – 5,000 calories per day
That's what hikers need on strenuous multi-day trips. Most people underestimate by half. PeakBound makes sure you pack enough fuel for every mile and every member of your group.
Logistics
Every detail, handled
Forgotten permits. Wrong shuttle times. Lost reservations. Trip logistics are where plans fall apart — unless you have a system.
