Works with no signal
Go Hike is the hiking journal that keeps working when the signal doesn't. Plan the walk, log the red squirrel, and keep every trail you've ever done on your own phone. Free, no account, no ads.
Why offline318 m
Go Hike doesn't need a connection, because everything it knows already lives on your phone. Your hikes, your photos and your notes open the same on a ridge as they do on your sofa — and just as fast.

Open the app and start. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to sync.
Your location is read when you log something, not traced all day.

Once before you leave, to check the weather and start the hike. Then whenever something is worth writing down. Everything below came from one wet Saturday above Keswick.

Sat still for four minutes and it came back down the same larch. Two more further up the path, so this is clearly their corner of the wood.
Coordinates, weather and temperature were attached automatically. The squirrel was not.

The quiet reward812 m
There are four. Not forty. Finish your first hike, log ten wildlife sightings, hike once a week for six weeks running, or complete three hikes that start before dawn or end after dark. Each one exports as a share card.
Weekly distance goal
Totals come from your own hikes. Nothing is compared against anyone else, because nobody else can see them.
Before you download903 m
Yes. Everything except the weather forecast works with no signal at all. Your hikes, observations, photos and stats are already on your phone, so the app opens and saves the same whether you have five bars or none.
No. Install it, open it, start your first hike. You can add a local profile if you want your name and home area on the home screen, or carry on as a guest — there is no sign-up, no password and nothing to verify.
Your journal and your photos stay on your device, in the app's own storage. Nothing is uploaded. The only thing Go Hike ever sends is a rough location to a weather service, so it can tell you what the sky is doing where you are.
Yes. Save a backup to your phone's storage, with photos or without, move that one file across however you like — cable, AirDrop, your own cloud drive — then restore it on the new phone.
iPhones on iOS 15 or newer and Android phones on Android 8 or newer. The same app, the same features, on both — nothing is held back on one platform.
Nothing, and there is no catch to find later. No subscription, no paid tier, no in-app purchases and no advertising. Every feature you can see is in the free app.
It does not follow you with a continuous GPS trace. Go Hike attaches a location to each observation you log and to the trailhead, which is why it barely touches your battery — and why the journal is about moments rather than a line on a map.
Four: First Summit, Wildlife Spotter, a six-week hiking streak and Night Hiker. Each one exports as a share card image once you unlock it.

A quick note
Go Hike is finished and I'm in the last stretch of getting it onto the App Store and Google Play. Both stores take their time reviewing a new app, and that part is out of my hands.
Thank you for coming this far and wanting to try it. The day it goes live, this button will take you straight to the download — nothing else on the page will change.
See you on the trail,
