Routes on topo maps, a day-by-day itinerary, food, gear, shared costs and a safety net. One plan for the whole pack, on the web and offline on Android.
One trip, a dozen moving parts, and several people trying to keep track. Pack Hiker keeps the whole pack on the same page.
Upload a GPX, KML or GeoJSON track, or draw one that snaps to the trail. Each leg lands on the day you'll walk it, with its own elevation profile.

Set a check-in deadline for after the hike. Miss it, and your emergency contacts are emailed your route, PLB details and the plan.
How check-ins workTransport, routes, side trips, camps and food drops, one card per day. Each day shows its distance, climb and what your pack weighs: 10.7 kg leaving Redbank Gorge.
Building your itineraryEvery route gets an elevation profile. Turn on grade heat and the steep pinches are coloured in, five bands from gentle to extreme.
Reading the profilesLog who paid what, even offline on the trail, then settle the whole trip in the fewest payments.
Settling upPlan every meal and every resupply drop, and see your food weight by day: 9.82 kg for the whole Larapinta.
Food plans and dropsThe organiser builds the gear list. Each hiker marks their own status per item, so the gaps show at a glance.
Gear lists
The dashboard shows each hike with its dates, distance, climb and who's coming. Freya has two on the go: the Larapinta Trail and the Kepler Track.
The Android app keeps every hike on your phone. Download the topo map along your routes before you go, then read, tick and log with no reception. It all syncs when you're back in range.
Pack Hiker was built by hikers who were tired of five group chats, three spreadsheets and a wallet full of receipts. Set up your first hike in a few minutes: invite the crew, add a route, and start planning the walk.
