From the trail,
for the trail.
Every trip meant juggling Lighterpack, scattered trip notes, and texts to let people know I'm okay. Trailkeep is my attempt at filling that gap.
Our values
Principles that shape every decision we make.
Simplicity is underrated.
Most tools overcomplicate things. We focus on what actually matters with a clean, modern interface.
Flexible by design.
No rigid defaults forced on you. Build your lists, trips, and categories exactly how you think about them.
Safety is number one.
No separate hardware, no expensive subscriptions. Smart design using the phone you already have.
Tested on real trails.
Patchy signal, changing plans, tired decisions. If it fails on trail, it doesn't ship.
From idea to launch
The spark
LighterPack's desktop-only UI and missing trip planning were obvious gaps. Combining both on mobile—with complete trip context—would unlock modern safety features nobody else offered.
Full-time push
Year of building full-time. This is iteration three - rebuilt from scratch with clean architecture, minimal dependencies (13 total), and lessons from previous versions.
Early access
Opening to early users. Real adventurers, different devices, different use cases. Gathering feedback, fixing bugs, polishing what exists.
Full launch
Open to everyone. Features stable, polished, and ready. The community guides what gets built next — feedback shapes the roadmap.
