Plan

Pick the weekend. Rypa picks the hour.

It reads the forecast along the trail and tells you when to start, so you’re down before dark.

Rypa’s plan for Forbordsfjellet: 2 h 38 min, start at 10:00, with the elevation profile

Go

Keep the phone in your pocket.

Go works offline. It tells you when to turn back, when rain is coming, and when you’ve left the trail.

Go on Forbordsfjellet: the walked part of the trail glowing on the night map, distance and time left

Look

Point at a peak. Get its name.

Look names the peaks around you through the camera.

Look naming Vassfjellet and Geitfjellet over the view, with height and distance

Daylight is the real limit.

Next Saturday on Forbordsfjellet the sun sets at 15:45. The hike takes 2 h 38 min. Rypa plans around both.

  • Before you go

    Short days, said plainly

    If a trail won’t fit the daylight, Rypa shows when the light runs out and where you’d be by then.

  • On the trail

    When to turn back

    Rypa works out when to turn round to be down before dark, and tells you once, with the phone in your pocket.

  • On the trail

    Off the trail

    Drift off the line and it shows how far you are and which way leads back.

  • On the trail

    Rain on its way

    Rain coming along your way? You hear about it before you see it.

  • On the trail

    If something happens

    Your position in every format a rescuer asks for, and the right numbers for the country you’re in.

  • On the trail

    A battery that lasts

    When the battery runs low, Go becomes one arrow and a distance, and the phone keeps going.

  • Afterwards

    Every hike kept

    The route, the climb and the time are saved, and go to Apple Health if you want.

  • Afterwards

    Tops and cabins

    The tops and cabins you’ve reached, and the ones still waiting around home.

Together

Someone at home always knows where you are.

And everyone else only sees what you choose. The social side of hiking, done the way it should be.

Marte is out hiking

Forbordsfjellet · back by 15:30

If she isn’t down by 16:00, Rypa tells you, with her last position and who to call.

  • Followed from home

    Pick who should know. Friends follow you in Rypa, anyone else gets a text with a link to a live map. If you’re late, they hear it first.

  • Hikes others can join

    Post a hike with the meeting place, pace and spots left, and say if dogs and kids are welcome. Friends, or anyone, ask to come along; you say yes.

  • Your start and end stay private

    Choose how much of the start and end to hide. It’s cut off on our server, so where you live never reaches anyone’s phone.

  • Someone to hike with

    Say how hard you like it, how fast you walk and which days you’re free, and meet hikers nearby who match.

  • Groups with a rhythm

    Sunday summits, small legs with big views: groups that hike together, with the trails they walk and the tops they hold.

Trails, checked by hand.

Each one checked on the map: the climb, the time it takes and where to park. New trails are added as Rypa grows.
