How it works

Hold up your phone. Read the skyline.

SummitPeek works out which summits you can see from where you're standing, then pins a label to each one as you sweep across the horizon.

Skyline labels

The peaks that stand out, not every bump.

Labels go to the summits that rise above their surroundings, so the skyline reads clearly instead of disappearing under a pile of names.

  • Name, distance, and elevation on every label
  • Placement accounts for the curve of the Earth and atmospheric refraction
  • Overlapping labels stack neatly as you pan

Peak details

Tap a label to learn more.

Each peak opens a card with its altitude, how far away it is, which direction to look, and a map of the summit, while the camera keeps running above it.

  • Open the peak in Apple Maps for directions
  • Share a peak with its name, altitude, and map link
  • Tap another label to switch peaks

Coast to Rockies

See farther than you think.

From the shore at Victoria, British Columbia, Mount Baker is more than 70 miles away across the water. SummitPeek checks how far you can see from your altitude, so distant giants get labeled too.

  • Every US state and Canadian province
  • Peak data from USGS, Natural Resources Canada, and Copernicus

Made for the trail.

Everything works from the trailhead to the summit, wherever you are out of coverage.

Peak filters

Label only the peaks above an elevation, or closer than a distance you choose.

Drag to align

If labels sit beside their peaks, drag one onto its summit and the rest follow.

Labeled photos

Take a photo of the view with the peak names on it, and share it.

Miles or kilometers

Feet and miles, or meters and kilometers. Switch any time in Settings.

Labels or pins

Show full text labels, or small pins that keep the view clear until you tap one.

English and French

The whole app is available in English and French.
