In one paragraph

Summiter reads Flights Climbed from Apple Health and turns it into one continuous ascent: 2,903 floors through 51 real landmarks, from the Statue of Liberty to the summit of Everest. There is nothing to start or log. The stairs at work and at home are the climb, and each landmark arrives with a summit screen, its real elevation and something worth knowing about it. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, with widgets and complications, and challenges every couple of months award a badge you keep for good.

Story angles

Everest from the office stairs

Summiter adds up the flights Apple Health already counts. Someone who takes the stairs at work and at home reaches the top of Everest, 2,903 floors, in about a year without changing anything else.

An app that knows nothing about you

Summiter has no server and no account. Progress syncs only between your own devices, and the Garmin companion exchanges exactly one number with the phone.

A New Year resolution that fits into an ordinary day

From 1 January 2027, the New Year, New Summit challenge asks for the Burj Khalifa’s 272 floors in 31 days, about nine flights a day. Free users can take part, and finishing earns a badge you keep.
