Measure every ride in Bucks — one thousand vertical feet each. Barometric altitude, unlimited log, shareable summit cards. Built for overlanders, weekend warriors, and anyone who counts their weekends in elevation.
BuckUp shows up where the ride actually happens — on the Home Screen, on the Lock Screen mid-climb, on the share sheet after you stop. Every surface pulls from the same barometric engine. Every screen earns its space.
Altitude on your Home Screen. Small, medium, and large. Tap to dive in — or just glance.
Real-time altitude while you ride — no touches, no unlocks. Lock screen banner and Dynamic Island both carry the session.
A share card stamped with your rig, altitude, and peak. Built for group chats, not algorithms.
Lifetime Bucks, peaks bagged, weekly streak. A personal ledger that rewards showing up.
Every ride recorded. Free, unlimited, yours forever. Scroll back to the first time you went out.
Sixty hand-picked US climbs — Rockies, Southwest, Sierra, Cascades, Appalachians, Alaska. Updated every release.
Every screen earns its space. Every number is a real measurement. No social feeds, no notifications to keep you coming back. Just the gauge, the log, and the ridge.
Your iPhone's pressure sensor reads altitude directly. Smoother than GPS, works without cell service, calibrates itself as you climb.
Every session saved locally. Date, altitude, gain, Bucks earned. No cap, no cloud sync required, no subscription.
Sixty curated US climbs spanning nine regions. Ride to a peak on the list and it stamps your log automatically.
One-tap shareable card stamped with your rig, altitude, and peak. The kind of thing that lives on group chats.
Year, make, model, trim, callsign. Eight tribe emblems — Jeep, Ford, Toyota, Dodge, Chevrolet, GMC, Land Rover, Subaru.
First Buck. 10 Peaks. Mile High. 100 Bucks. Earn stamps as you stack — more unlock across v1.x.
Tap SADDLE UP at the trailhead. The gauge begins tracking altitude and gain — barometer first, GPS as a backup. No account required.
Mount the phone and go. Live Activity + Dynamic Island show altitude at a glance. Widget on the home screen too, if you've unlocked it.
Tap LOG IT when you stop. Buck Shot captures a shareable card stamped with your rig. Your session hits the log forever.
No subscriptions. No trials. Pay once, own it forever — receipts tied to your Apple ID, restore on any device.
Both unlocks, together. Altitude on your Home Screen, Lock Screen banner during rides, Dynamic Island during active sessions.
Home Screen and Lock Screen widget. Small, medium, and large. See your altitude without opening the app.
Lock Screen banner + Dynamic Island session tracker. Real-time altitude and gain while you ride, no touches needed.
The core engine ships now. Everything else is a downhill shift — more regions, more rigs, more ways to see your ride. Each update unlocks across every version you've already installed, free.
Drop your email. One note when BuckUp hits the App Store, and one more if a new region or feature drops. No weekly newsletter, no upsells, no drama.
v1.0 is in late-stage beta. Public launch is imminent — drop your email above and we'll notify you the day it's live. TestFlight invites for a small beta cohort go out first.
One Buck = 1,000 vertical feet of elevation gain in a single session. 2.5 Bucks is a serious day out. 5+ Bucks is a full-send alpine run. Your lifetime Buck count is your vertical odometer — the more you stack, the more ridge you've earned.
The core app — gauge, unlimited Buck Log, Named Peaks list, Buck Shot, RIG registration, YOU tab — is free forever, no trial, no account required. Two optional unlocks for the home-screen widget ($4.99) and Dynamic Island / Lock Screen Live Activity ($4.99), or $7.99 for both. One-time, no subscription, never expires.
No. The altimeter uses your iPhone's barometric pressure sensor (on-device, offline) and the GPS altitude fix, both of which work without a signal. You only need service for optional cloud sync of your Buck Log if you choose to sign in.
Any rig. You don't plug BuckUp into your truck — it runs on the phone's sensors. At Register Your Rig we ship with eight tribe emblems covering Jeep, Ford, Toyota, Dodge/Ram, Chevrolet, GMC, Land Rover, and Subaru, plus a generic "Other Make" path for anyone else.
Not in the immediate roadmap. BuckUp leans on iOS-specific APIs — CoreMotion, Live Activities, Dynamic Island, WidgetKit — that don't have clean Android equivalents. If Android demand shows up we'll reassess.
Tap SADDLE UP before you start. Put the phone in a mount. Let it run. Don't interact with the app while driving — hand the phone to a passenger if you need to do anything mid-ride. BuckUp is a souvenir, not a compass.
No. BuckUp is for fun and posterity, not safety-critical use. Altitude readings drift with weather and temperature. Don't use it for aviation, emergency navigation, or any purpose where altitude precision matters to life. Proper charts, compass, and gear always.
Ridge runs.
Rig builds. Field notes.
New peaks, user rides, app updates, and the occasional view that makes you stop the truck. @buckupoffroad on Instagram is the fastest way to see what BuckUp looks like in the wild.
