About this app
What Baseweight does
Baseweight is the offline, native gear closet and pack-weight manager built for ultralight backpackers. Maintain one master gear library with weights you enter once, then drag items into as many trip pack lists as you need - no re-typing the same tent for every hike. Baseweight automatically splits your numbers the way the r/Ultralight community thinks about them: base weight, worn weight, consumables, and total weight, with a live category breakdown chart so you can see exactly where your grams are hiding. Toggle any item between packed and worn, mark gear as used or retired, set a base-weight goal and watch your progress bar move as you swap a 900g tent for a 600g one. Run a pre-trip checklist so nothing gets left in the car. Works entirely on your phone - no account, no login, no signal required. Pull up your list at the trailhead with zero bars, weigh items at the gear shop, or pack on the kitchen floor while your laptop sits dead in the other room. Your gear stays private and on-device forever. Free to track unlimited gear and build your packs; unlock Pro once for weight goals, gear history, and unlimited saved trips. Download Baseweight and finally lighten your load on the go.
Features
Built to be useful, not noisy.
Gear closet
User maintains one master inventory of every piece of gear with name, weight, category, and notes - entered once, reused across all trips.
Trip pack lists
User builds multiple named pack lists per trip by pulling items from the closet, each tracking its own quantities and worn/packed state.
Auto weight math
App computes base weight (packed, non-consumable), worn weight, consumable weight, and total weight live as items change.
Category breakdown chart
Swift Charts pie/bar showing how weight is distributed across categories so users see where to cut grams.
Worn-vs-packed toggle
One tap moves an item between worn (on body, excluded from base weight) and packed, instantly updating the math.
Weight goals
User sets a target base weight and the app shows a progress bar and delta toward the goal as gear changes.
Why it exists
The problem
There is no good native, fully-offline iOS tool to manage a gear closet with weights and build multiple trip pack lists - LighterPack is the de-facto standard but is a clunky website with no app and no offline access, which fails exactly when hikers need it (packing day, gear shop, trailhead with no signal).
What's different
How Baseweight stands out
Baseweight is the only gear-weight tool that needs zero account and zero network - your master gear library and every trip list live on-device in SwiftData and load instantly at a no-signal trailhead, where LighterPack (web-only) and even PackLight (web-share, $19.99 unlock for unlimited lists) cannot.
