MetaGear: Outdoor Gear Tracker

About MetaGear: Outdoor Gear Tracker

Your hiking gear. Always in your pocket. Beautifully organized.

MetaGear is the mobile-first companion for hikers, backpackers, and ultralight enthusiasts. Built by hikers for every outdoor lover, we've transformed the tedious process of organizing gear into a streamlined, beautiful experience that lives right on your phone.

Smart Gear Management
Build your Gear List—your personal database of equipment—using intelligent search. Create detailed pack lists with weight, cost, and custom parameters for every item. Organize by categories like shelter, sleep system, kitchen, and electronics, or create your own. Mark items as worn, consumable, or base gear for accurate weight tracking that matches how you actually hike.

Instant Weight Calculations
MetaGear automatically tracks the three metrics that matter:
• Base Weight — Your pack and gear without consumables or worn items
• Pack Weight — Base weight plus food and consumables
• Total Weight — Everything you're carrying when you hit the trail

No spreadsheets. No manual calculations. Just add gear and get real-time insights.

Comprehensive Data Visualization
Beautiful charts and graphs show weight distribution across categories and types. Instantly spot where you can optimize, identify gear imbalances, and make informed decisions about swaps. Visualizations cover both weight and cost, giving you the complete picture of your setup.

Import from LighterPack
Already have gear lists on LighterPack? Import them instantly—paste a link or upload a file. Your familiar setup gets a new home on your smartphone with modern design and smart features, always accessible in your pocket.
