Thermal Buddy is a personal gear logbook for hikers, backpackers and trail runners. After each outing, log what you wore and slept in, the conditions, and how you felt, from Too Cold to Just Right to Too Hot. Before your next trip, search your past logs by temperature and instantly see what worked and what didn't. No account required — your logs live on your device and sync privately via iCloud. Free for up to 8 logs; the yearly plan includes a 1-month free trial.
You may think it is a lot of work to log all the clothes and sleeping gear every time. I don't want to do that either. So I built auto fill feature. Once the gear item is in your gear list (by adding to a log or directly to gear list), you just type a part of gear name and select from the candidates, then gear name, brand and gear category fill in automatically. So adding layers and gear into the log is far easier than you imagine.
Also in multi-day backpacking trips, you can copy the log from day before so you don't have to add all the same gear again.
You can also package multiple logs as one trip if you like. You can do it after coming back from the trip. You don't have to worry about when you are in the mountains.
Designed for trail, designed by a hiker, backpacker and trail runner.
You don't need any network connection for the app to work. Dark screen colours were chosen because darker screens consume less buttery and easier to see under direct sunlight and in sleeping bags.
I want to make it as easy and frictionless as possible to use it on trail. So if you experience any friction when inputing data on trail, I would love to hear your feedback!
