How it works

  1. 1

    Ride

    Start recording a ride before you set off. Drive, ride or cycle while the app records in the background.

  2. 2

    Capture

    During your recorded ride, GPS detects pass crossings automatically. No check-in needed at each summit.

  3. 3

    Remember

    Each crossing is kept in your story — with a vintage travel poster when it's one of the storied 300+.

Things people ask.

Is Mountain Passes available now?
Yes — it's out now on the App Store for iPhone.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Ride recording and pass detection work offline. Apple Maps needs a connection for map areas that are not cached; driving ETAs also need a connection. Your rides sync through iCloud when you reconnect.
Which passes are included?
9,000+ mountain passes worldwide — from the Alps to the Carpathians, Pyrenees, Rockies, and beyond. All free to browse.
Do I need Pro?
No. Free includes ride recording, automatic pass detection during rides, browsing, visit photos, posters and achievements. Pro adds live pass discovery, trips, the full timeline, ride photos, a bucket list, GPX import and export, Apple Health import, and Siri Shortcuts.
How is my location used?
Your iPhone processes location to detect crossings and record rides. Rides and visits sync through your private iCloud account. We never sell your location.
Which devices are supported?
Mountain Passes is an iPhone app: auto-logging, ride recording, the map, posters and achievements all live on your iPhone. Your data syncs through iCloud, so a new iPhone picks up your whole collection.

Collect for free. Go Pro to tell your story.

Free gives you the full collection — every pass, every poster, every achievement. Pro adds the tools to plan, relive, and share your rides.
