Problem
Outdoor trip planning often relies on generic tools like spreadsheets and paper notes, which are cumbersome to share, update, and use without internet access. This makes coordinating itineraries, gear lists, and post‑trip reflections difficult for groups venturing into remote areas.
Solution
Ing is a purpose‑built, offline‑first platform that consolidates pre‑trip planning, on‑trip navigation, and post‑trip documentation in a single digital workspace. Users can create detailed itineraries, generate individual and group gear checklists, poll participants for preferences, and share all information with teammates through collaborative invites. The app stores maps, notes, and plans locally, ensuring full functionality without cellular or Wi‑Fi coverage. After the adventure, users can log memories, review what gear was actually used, and automatically update future checklists, streamlining preparation for the next outing.
Target Audience
Primary users are outdoor enthusiasts such as hikers, backpackers, and adventure groups who need coordinated planning and reliable offline access during remote trips.
