The hill bagging app that does your peak bagging for you

How peak bagging works in the hill bagging app

Most hill bagging means a spreadsheet, a paper list or a website where you tick each top by hand after the walk. Peakify takes a different approach: it reads the activities you already record. When a run, walk or ride from Strava, Garmin Connect or Apple Health passes close enough to a summit, Peakify logs it as bagged, with the date and the activity as proof.

You decide how close is close enough. One GPS distance setting applies to every source, so a track that skirts below a summit cairn doesn't count unless you want it to. Older activities count too: Garmin Connect can import your full activity history and Peakify reads the workouts already in Apple Health, so years of hill days can fill in your lists at once.

Each summit can sit on several lists. Bag Helvellyn and it ticks off a Wainwright, a Hewitt, a Nuttall and part of the Lake District 3000ers in one go. That is what makes automatic peak bagging useful: you climb once and every list moves.

Bagging features in Peakify

• Automatic summit detection

  Connect Strava, Garmin or Apple Health and Peakify matches your GPS tracks against nearby peaks. You choose how close a track must pass for a summit to count, and the setting applies to every source.

• 48 summit challenges

  From the National, Yorkshire, Welsh and Scottish Three Peaks to the Welsh 3000s, the Bob Graham, Paddy Buckley and Ramsay Rounds, the full hill lists and a set of Alpine 4000er trips. Each challenge shows your next targets, a timeline and a map.

• Bagged summits list

  Every summit you have logged, filterable by name and height. Open one to see the activities and the route that prove it.

• Bagged summits map

  A map of the summits you have and haven't bagged in the area you are looking at, so unclimbed tops near your usual hills stand out.

• All-in-one badges

  Climb every summit in a challenge in one logged activity, such as a Welsh 3000s day or a Bob Graham Round, and the challenge earns its all-in-one badge. You can share a challenge image too.

• Report a wrong match

  If a summit or challenge match looks wrong, tell Peakify from the app.

• Summits on Strava

  Peakify can add the summits you reached to new Strava activity descriptions, so your followers see which peaks you climbed.

• Summit widgets (Pro)

  Home Screen widgets for your top bagged summits, your latest summits and your progress on one challenge.

Plan the next one

Bagging is half the fun; choosing the next hill is the other half. Each challenge lists your next targets and maps the summits you still need. The explore map can filter to bagged or unbagged peaks, and every mountain has a summit forecast, so you can match a free weekend to a top you haven't done. Browse the Munros or the Wainwrights on the web to see routes and heights.
