Hiking Log App
Every trail, every summit, on your own map
A hiking log is half numbers, half memory. Log the hike when you are back at the car: distance, elevation gain, time from the timer, a pin at the trailhead and the photo from the top. Over the years you get total ascent, the longest day, and a map of everywhere your boots have been.
Distance, elevation gain, time, the trailhead pin and the summit photo.
Also called a hike journal, trail log or summit log.

How it works
From install to first entry in a minute
1
Pick “Hiking” during setup
The log is created with the variables above and a few example entries so you can see how it works. Clear them with one tap.
2
Log as you go
Tap plus, fill in what you have, save. Timer, location, notes and photos are there when you want them, hidden when you don’t.
3
Let the stats accumulate
Sum distance sits on the log card, with the rest one tap away. Set a goal if you want a nudge.
Why this log
Built for the way you actually do it
Total ascent and the longest day
Sum of elevation gain and max distance sit on the log card. The number of metres you climbed this year is oddly motivating.
Your trails as pins
Every hike carries a trailhead. The map view is the personal atlas: the ranges you know and the blank patches that are next.
Summit photos with the numbers
The photo from the top sits on the entry with the distance and time. Scroll the log and the year passes as a series of summits.
Everything else in the app
Not just a form. A logbook that thinks with you.
The Hiking log is one log among many you can keep. Every one of them gets the same tools.
AI analysis
AI reads the pattern for you
Tap the bulb on Hiking and get a plain-language read of your trends, what changed recently, and a suggested next goal, built only from your own entries.
Goals
Goals, streaks and reminders
Set a target like three times a week, watch the rolling progress bar, keep a streak, and get a reminder at the time you actually log. The app learns that time from you.
Calendar
A calendar heatmap per log
Every log has its own month view showing which days you logged. Gaps are obvious, consistency is visible, and one tap opens that day's entries.
Rounds
Several rounds in one entry
Every exercise in a workout, every piece in a practice session: logged together in one entry, broken out automatically in the stats.
Attachments
Photos, sketches, voice memos
Attach a photo, draw a quick sketch, or record a voice note on any entry. They stay with that entry and come back on every device you sign in on.
Map
Every entry on a map
Drop a pin or search for the place. Each log has a map view of everywhere you logged, and saved places open directly in Google Maps.
Search
Search across everything
Find an entry by title, note or value across every log, filter by date or location, and jump straight to it.
Privacy
Yours, offline first
Entries save on your phone first and sync when you sign in. No account needed to start, no feed, no one else sees your data.
Who keeps a hiking log
Weekend hikers building toward a bigger objective, people working through a list of peaks or huts, and anyone who wants their outdoor year to add up to something they can look at. Families use it as the record of where the kids have been.
It is deliberately simple: no route planning, no crowd-sourced trails, just your own days.
What a season of hikes shows
Total ascent tells you what shape you are in better than any single hike. The longest day is the yardstick for the next objective. The map shows the range you keep returning to, and the one you have never visited.
The notes about knees, weather and hut soup are the part you will read again in winter.
Questions
Frequently asked
Does it record the GPS track?
No. It stores the trailhead pin and the figures you enter, from a watch, the signpost or the guidebook. Keep the track in your mapping app if you need it.
Can I log multi-day hikes?
Yes. One entry per day keeps the daily distances honest; the total for the trip is the sum. Tag the entries with the trip name to group them.
Can I note conditions, huts or gear?
Use the notes or add text variables such as “Hut” or “Conditions”. Marked as tracked individually, “Hut” gives you a list of huts with visit counts.
