Built by one person who wanted a real backpacking app

Far is built by a solo founder — a backpacker who spent years planning trips across spreadsheets, PDFs, and half a dozen different apps, none of which actually handled the whole job: real routes, real weather, real gear weight, all in one place.

After not finding a planning tool that was good enough for how he actually plans trips, he built one. Far is the result — route intelligence, day-by-day timelines, weather, permits, and gear, built on real data instead of guesses, and honest about what it doesn't know.

It's early. Far is one person's ongoing work, not a large team or a funded company — which is also why it stays narrow and specific instead of trying to be everything.

Far has a free plan and a Pro plan — see current plan thinking for what's actually live today.
