Your climb. Measured vertically.
Ibex tracks your climb in real time — live audio readouts and rope-end alerts on the wall — then automatically builds a complete record of climbing, rappelling, elevation and activity.
Built for vertical terrain.
Most location apps were designed around horizontal travel — pace, distance, route maps on flat ground. Ibex is built around the vertical movement that actually matters while climbing: elevation gained, pitches completed, and time spent moving versus resting on the wall.
Three things Ibex does on every climb.
No manual logging mid-pitch. Ibex runs in the background, gives you live readouts on the wall, and builds the record for you.
Track while you climb
Ibex records current pitch distance, elevation and vertical progress as you move — with live audio readouts and rope-end alerts — so you always know where you are on the route without checking your phone.
Ibex understands what you're doing
Ibex uses your phone sensors to identify climbing, rappelling and rest periods automatically, reducing manual logging throughout the day.

Frequently asked questions.
What does Ibex actually record?
Ibex automatically records every stage of your day on the wall — approach, climb, rappel and return — including pitch distance, vertical progress, moving time and rest periods, then organizes everything into a climbing journal entry.
Is Ibex a guidebook or route-finder app?
No. Ibex doesn’t tell you where to climb — it’s the during-and-after part of the experience, recording what actually happened once you’re on the route.
How does Ibex know I’m climbing versus rappelling or resting?
Ibex uses your phone sensors to identify climbing, rappelling and rest periods automatically, reducing manual logging throughout the day. Activity detection is a convenience feature, not a guarantee — always confirm your own state on the wall.
Is Ibex available on iOS?
Ibex is currently available on Android. An iOS version is under consideration but not yet in active development.
Does Ibex help with hydration and heat planning?
Yes — Ibex includes a built-in Session Planner that estimates water and electrolyte needs, sweat rate and heat risk for a planned session, right in the app. The same calculator is also available standalone at hydrate.ibex.fit if you want to plan before you install.
What does Ibex integrate with?
Ibex pairs with Bluetooth heart-rate monitors and Health Connect for real biometric data instead of estimates, and can upload completed climbs to Strava. Ibex can also look up official route names for a climb via OpenBeta.
