Hikez isn't a dashboard. It's a journal: your track, your numbers, the weather, your photos, and how it felt up there.
We don't compare you with anyone faster. We keep every hike, make it beautiful, and let you share it if you feel like it. Without an account, nothing leaves your iPhone.
What Hikez doesFeatures
Live GPS, even with the screen off.
Distance, elevation gain, duration, altitude and speed, in large type while you walk. Recording carries on with the phone locked, and a backup copy protects your hike until you save it.
Free, no limits
Import a GPX, let it guide you.
Open a GPX file from Files, AirDrop or your favourite route site. Hikez shows the distance, elevation gain and estimated time, then warns you if you drift off the route.
Import my routes
IGN in France, OpenStreetMap elsewhere.
Maps download on their own around your routes, 1.5 km on each side of the track. IGN maps and aerial photos in France, OpenStreetMap everywhere else.
How it works
700,000 summits in your pocket.
Hikez carries every named summit in OpenStreetMap. Come within 200 m of a summit, at the right altitude, and it joins your summit log. No connection needed.
A few summits
A cinematic flyover of every hike.
Hikez flies over your route across the terrain, from the start to the summit, with your numbers rolling by. Save it as a video and share it.
Discover Hikez Pro
Hikez downloads the maps around your routes before you leave. GPS and all 700,000 summits work offline.

All of Hikez, plus:
The one that does the essentials without making you pay to walk, whether it’s a mountain hike or a simple walk.

The community map also gives you hiking ideas: routes shared by other hikers, ready to start in one tap.
Yes. The essentials are free forever, with no ads and no time limit: GPS recording, GPX route guidance with off-trail alerts, offline maps, summit recognition, the journal, weekly and monthly stats, iCloud backup and the whole community. Hikez Pro (€24.99 a year or €3.99 a month in the eurozone) adds the 3D flyover, an unlimited GPX library (3 routes free), the complete summit log, automatic weather, yearly stats and GPX export.
Every month, Hikez ranks hikers by elevation gain, distance and number of hikes, worldwide or among the people you follow. Only hikes recorded live with the app count, and our servers recalculate the figures from the track to rule out inconsistencies.
