RidgePacker — Gear Organizer & Packing List

Stop showing up to the trailhead with the wrong gear — or worse, forgetting it entirely. RidgePacker is the gear management app built for hikers, backpackers, and everyday carry enthusiasts who care about what they bring and how much it weighs.

YOUR GEAR CATALOG Build a permanent catalog of everything you own. Add photos, weights, brand details, category tags, and product links. The AI scanner identifies your gear from a photo and fills in the specs automatically.

TRIP PLANNING Create a trip, pull gear from your catalog, and pack against your list. Set a target weight for any pack or sublist and see how far under or over you are as you add gear. Need more than one of something? Set a quantity and your totals add it up. Prefer it simple? Turn off the check-off circles in Settings and let the list itself be your pack. Every trip shows its item count and total weight in real time, so you know your load before you go.

BASE WEIGHT & CONSUMABLES Flag food, water, and fuel as consumables and RidgePacker splits your load into base weight, consumables, and worn weight. See your true base weight — the carried, non-consumed number that matters most when you're trying to pack lighter.

NOTES Tap the note row at the top of any pack or sublist to jot reminders — campsite details, gear swaps, anything you don't want to forget.

SUBLISTS & MODULAR POUCHES Organize a big trip the way you actually pack it. Break any pack into sublists — a day pack, what's left behind, what the porters carry — then group gear inside them into modular pouches like a first-aid kit or a cook set, up to three levels deep. Move a pouch into another sublist, to your pack's top level, or onto your body — it stays a pouch wherever it lands. Each pack, sublist, and pouch tracks its own weight, rolls up automatically, and can carry its own weight goal.

JUST FOR THIS TRIP Add one-off items — extra socks, snacks, toiletries — that belong to this trip only. Full photo and weight tracking, without cluttering your permanent gear catalog.

ON YOUR BODY Separate your worn gear from your packed gear. Mark hiking boots, a trail hat, or a buff as "On Your Body." Body weight is tracked independently and you choose whether it counts toward your pack weight. On a multi-pack trip, set which pack you're carrying — the whole trip or one sublist — and pack weight reflects exactly what's on your back.

EVERYDAY CARRY Maintain a separate gear list for what you carry every day. Independent from your trip lists, always one tap away.

IMPORT YOUR GEAR Already track your kit in LighterPack or a spreadsheet? Import your gear list from a CSV file and bring everything into RidgePacker in a single step — units, categories, and consumables included.

SHARE & EXPORT Turn any trip into a beautifully formatted PDF packing list — with photos, weights, and category charts, and every sublist and modular pouch. Choose exactly what to include, then print it or share it with a hiking partner.

PRIVACY FIRST No account required. No ads. No cross-app tracking. Your gear catalog and packing lists are stored on your iPhone, not in the cloud — back them up yourself, whenever you want.

TRY IT FREE Start with 14 days of full access, completely free — every feature, no account, no commitment. After that, your gear and lists are always there to browse and pack against; a RidgePacker Pro subscription keeps you adding, editing, AI-scanning, and organizing without limits.
