About Peak Lens

Peak Lens is an augmented-reality field guide that names every peak on your horizon. Point your phone's camera at a mountain range and the app labels the summits in front of you in real time — name, elevation, and distance — so you always know exactly what you're looking at, from the Alaska Range to the Himalaya.

But Peak Lens is more than a peak finder. We don't chase the longest list of names — we go deep on every peak: researched trails, difficulty, access notes, ski and climbing guides, current summit weather, and honest reviews from hikers who stood on top. Browse the worldwide catalog, download peak packs for offline use deep in the backcountry, and record GPS-tracked hikes with wrong-turn alerts and a lifeline that shares your live location with someone back home. Snap a photo of any trailside plant or mushroom for an expert identification, post trail conditions for the hikers behind you, log your summits, and earn achievements as you climb.

Peak Lens is built for hikers, peak-baggers, backpackers, backcountry skiers, climbers, and anyone who looks up at a ridgeline and wonders. It's built by the Peak Lens team — a small, independent group of hikers, climbers, and developers who would rather be on the trail.

Proceed with caution

Hiking and climbing in the mountains are dangerous activities that claim lives every year. Peak information here — routes, trip reports, and GPS tracks included — comes from public sources and community posts, so it can be incomplete, out of date, or simply wrong, and it is never a substitute for experience, skill, and proper gear. Check current conditions, share a lifeline with someone at home, and know your limits. You are responsible for your own safety in the mountains.
