Pack. Organize. Plan.

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Build your gear catalog, set weight targets, track your true base weight, and pack against smart checklists. Your first 14 days are free. 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 — brand, model, weight, and the manufacturer's product page. TRIP PLANNING Create a trip, pull gear from your catalog, and pack against your list. Set a target weight for any trip — or any sublist — and see at a glance how far under or over your goal you are as you add gear. Need more than one of something? Set a quantity on any item and your totals add it up automatically. Prefer to keep it simple? Turn off the check-off circles in Settings and let the list itself be your pack. Every trip shows your item count and total weight in real time, so you always know your load before you leave the house. 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 — without doing the math yourself. 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 Break any trip into as many sublists as you need — a summit pack, a day bag, a camp kit. Gear added to a sublist automatically appears on the main trip list, and removing it from the main list cascades down, so every sublist always stays a true subset of the trip. Give each sublist its own weight target, too. 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 total — useful for tracking true skin-out weight versus pack load. 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 clean, printable PDF packing list — share it with a hiking partner or keep it for your records. 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.

Base weight is here. Flag food, water, and fuel as consumables and RidgePacker now shows your base weight — the carried, non-consumed load serious backpackers compare — right next to your total. Pack multiples without the math. Set a quantity on any item, like three pairs of socks or two fuel canisters, and every weight total counts them for you. Switching from LighterPack or a spreadsheet? Import your whole gear list from a CSV file in Settings and pick up right where you left off. We also refined trip gestures — swipe an item to drop it into a sublist or mark it as worn on your body — and made the app smoother to use with VoiceOver and other accessibility settings throughout.
