About Summiter: Stairs to Everest
You already climb stairs. Summiter is the app that makes them add up to something. Every flight Apple Health records becomes altitude on one continuous ascent — 2,903 floors from the Statue of Liberty to the summit of Everest, through 51 landmarks you already know by name. HOW IT WORKS Summiter reads Flights Climbed from Apple Health. That's it — no tracking to start, no workout to log, nothing to remember. The stairs at the office, the walk-up you live in, the escalator you took instead: if Health counted it, you're climbing. Start from today, or credit every flight Health has ever recorded and begin your climb already hundreds of floors up. THE ROUTE 51 landmarks, in order, each one taller than the last: The Statue of Liberty · The Great Pyramid of Giza · The Eiffel Tower · The Empire State Building · Tokyo Skytree · The Burj Khalifa · El Capitan · Angel Falls · Table Mountain · Mount Vesuvius · Ben Nevis · The Grand Canyon · Mount Fuji · The Matterhorn · Mont Blanc · Kilimanjaro · Denali · Aconcagua · K2 · Mount Everest - and 31 more. Each one has a summit screen, a real elevation, and something worth knowing about it. You don't pick a goal. You just keep climbing, and the next one arrives. WHAT YOU GET • A hero screen for the landmark you're on right now, in its own weather and light • Today's flights, your pace over the last four weeks, and the day you'll reach the landmark you're on • The full route, with every summit behind you and every one still ahead • Home Screen widgets, small and medium, showing how far up you are • Lock Screen and Apple Watch complications — your climb at a glance • An Apple Watch app that stays in step with your iPhone • Summit alerts, so reaching the top is a moment and not a discovery • A share card for the summits worth telling someone about • Challenges every couple of months — a landmark's height in a few weeks, with a badge you keep for good AFTER EVEREST The summit is not the end of the app. Every floor above it keeps counting, and whenever you want the route again you can start over from the Statue of Liberty — your total is never reset, and the ascent you finished stays on the record. YOUR PROGRESS ONLY GOES UP Floors you've climbed stay climbed. A summit you've reached can't be taken back by a late Health correction, a new phone, or anything else. Landmarks you've passed keep their date. OPTIONAL: GARMIN If you wear a Garmin, Summiter's Connect IQ companion keeps both apps on the same climb by exchanging exactly one number — your total floors. Nothing else is shared. The two are sold in different stores, so a purchase in one does not unlock the other. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No ads. No analytics, no tracking, no data collected. Your Health data is read on your device and stays there, and your climb syncs between your own devices — nowhere else. THE FREE CLIMB AND THE FULL CLIMB The first ten landmarks are free, all the way up the Burj Khalifa — far enough to know whether this is for you. One purchase, once, unlocks the remaining 41 to the summit of Everest. No subscription. Your floors are never recalculated: unlocking drops you exactly where you already stand. Requires an iPhone that records Flights Climbed in Apple Health.
