Hi Product Hunt,
I built HikerKit because I wanted a cleaner way to manage hiking gear on iPhone.
I’ve used web-based gear list tools before and always liked how clearly they show pack weight and category breakdowns. But when preparing for real trips, I wanted something simpler and more mobile-friendly.
With HikerKit, you can:
- Build a personal gear library
- Create packing lists for each trip
- Track total pack weight and category weight
- Mark worn items separately
- See your heaviest gear with Top 10
- Export a visual gear summary for planning or review
The first version is intentionally focused on gear, trips, weight, and clear charts.
I’d love feedback from hikers, backpackers, and anyone who tracks outdoor gear:
What would you expect from a good mobile gear planning app?
How does the gear library handle items I own multiple of, like three of the same socks, does it auto-count or do I duplicate the entry each time?
Does the app let you save multiple trip templates so you can quickly load the same setup for similar hikes without rebuilding the list each time?
does the gear library sync across devices or is everything stored locally on the phone
