Automatic. Accurate. Fun.
Track every hiking list. Automatically.
List Hiker turns the hikes you already record — on Strava, your Apple Watch, Garmin, COROS, even a spreadsheet or a paper list — into an accurate, up-to-date record of your progress on the NH 48, the Colorado 14ers, the Terrifying 25, and a dozen more. It knows every list’s rules, and it does the tracking for you.
Free. No hand-tracking. No GPX files to wrangle.
Works with Apple HealthPoint List Hiker at your hikes. It just works.
Devices, apps, spreadsheets, or handwritten records — List Hiker pulls everything into one coherent, accurate hiking history, and quietly fixes the problems that trip people up.
- Connect what you already use — instant sync with Strava and Apple Health, plus Garmin, COROS, Runkeeper, and more.
- Bring your whole history — even from apps you left behind — import the hikes you’re tracking today and the ones sitting in services you used years ago. And if some of it only lives in a spreadsheet or a paper list, load the spreadsheet or snap a photo of the list and let List Hiker read it beta.
- Discover hikes you forgot (in the iPhone app) — it scans your photos to find and document hikes you climbed, from when and where each photo was taken.
- Automatic cleanup — de-duplicates the same hike from two services, handles early battery death, and flags a hike you accidentally saved as a bike ride.
Every hike matched to all of your lists — automatically.
No more forgetting to write a hike down or getting the date wrong. List Hiker matches your GPS tracks to peaks and trail segments the moment they arrive, and updates your progress on all the lists you’re tracking in real time. One hike can count toward several of your lists at once.
- Matches peaks and full trail segments from your track.
- Updates all your lists instantly — nothing to enter by hand.
- Confidence-rated matches, so you always know what’s certain.
Get even more with the iPhone app.
List Hiker works great on the web — and the iPhone app adds features you can only get on your phone, including automatic Apple Health sync.
- Automatic Apple Health sync — including the Apple Fitness app and activities tracked with your Apple Watch — loading in all your history and keeping new hikes in sync, just like Strava.
- Rediscover hikes you forgot to log — only in the app, List Hiker scans your photos to find and document your previous hikes, from when and where each photo was taken — ready to load onto your lists.
- Photo albums that build themselves — List Hiker smartly gathers the right photos — yours and your friends’ — from each hike into an album. No sorting, no tagging; it just works. The fun part.
- Find the true summit — Peak Locator guides you to the exact summit marker on remote peaks and bushwhacks, where there’s no trail to the top.
- Works offline, easy on your battery — all your List Hiker information is available with no signal, and it’s carefully designed to minimize battery drain; new hikes sync when you’re back in range.
- Track right in the app (if you want to) — record hikes in List Hiker, or keep using the tracker you already love.
It knows the rules. All of them.
Every list has its own fine print, and it’s easy to get wrong. List Hiker knows the rules for each one and checks your hikes against them, so you find out before you submit — not after.
Season boundaries — and they differ
Astronomical seasons for the NH 48 and Adirondack High Peaks; calendar seasons for the Northeast 115. A hike can’t straddle the boundary.
Peak-per-hike rules
Trailwrights counts only one peak per hike, even if you tagged five.
Full-segment rules
The Terrifying 25 requires the entire length of a trail like King’s Ravine; List Hiker checks you actually did it.
Grandfathering & changing lists
52 With A View adds and retires peaks over time.
Local exceptions
Colorado 14ers’ Mt. Bross private-property workaround.
Plausibility
Elevation gain, distance, and speed all have to be humanly reasonable for the peak.
From finished to certified, the easy way.
When you’ve finished, List Hiker fills out a validated completion application for you — for many lists, the sponsoring organization’s own form — ready to sign and send, or submit online where that’s supported. No hunting down dates or double-checking rules by hand. Mail it in and get your patch, your certificate, and recognition on the official finishers’ list.
How certification works →Over a dozen lists. Plus every variation.
Peak lists, trail lists, and the seasonal and grid variations serious listers chase. If you’re working on it, chances are List Hiker tracks it — and we add more all the time.
