AR peak identification
Use the iPhone camera view to understand the peaks in front of you when location and sensor context are available.
Mountain identifier app
A mountain identifier app built for serious iPhone users
Epicrest helps you read a mountain skyline with AR peak identification, then move into map-based discovery when you want more context. It is built for curious hikers, summit collectors, and travelers who want a quieter field tool instead of a noisy feed.
Field context
Epicrest tools for mountain identifier app
Map-based discovery
Browse nearby summits, elevation, prominence, weather, and route context from the map before you commit to a plan.
Offline peak packs
Download regional peak data before a trip so useful context remains available when service is limited.
Private summit journal
Keep summit notes on device, with optional private iCloud sync. Epicrest does not use server-side photo storage for journals.
Identify the skyline from the camera view
Open the AR view to line up nearby summits and understand what you are looking at. Epicrest keeps the experience focused on peak names, elevation context, and the surrounding terrain rather than turning a mountain view into a social feed.
Pair recognition with map context
After you identify a peak, switch to the map to inspect nearby mountains, weather context, and available route or road information. The app is designed for orientation and research, not for replacing a dedicated navigation setup.
Log the summit without making it public
If a peak becomes part of your story, save it in a private summit journal. Notes and photos stay local to your iPhone, with optional private iCloud sync when you choose to enable it.
