Ifiọk — Ibibio for wisdom
An offline-first trip planner and field guide for hiking, paddling, biking, snow and camping trips. Plan it at home, carry it offline, learn from it after.
Ifiok is in development and is not released yet.
There is nothing to download, no store listing, and no waiting list to join — this page exists so there is something honest at the end of the link. It will carry the store badges when there are stores to point at.

The whole app is built around one loop. Nothing in it needs a connection once you have left the trailhead.
Build the trip from your own gear. Pick the destination, check the forecast, set the days. Download the map for the region you are going to.
The trip freezes what it took when it starts, so your history cannot quietly rewrite itself. Everything you packed, every reference page, the almanac and the downloaded map are on the phone.
A short review asks what you used, what never left the pack, and what was missing. Skippable and resumable — nobody fills in a form the moment they get home.
Everything you own in one list, with weights. Save a named loadout for a kind of trip — a day hike, a canoe overnight, four days on skis — then build the next trip from it instead of from memory. It keeps a wishlist and turns the gaps into a shopping list on its own.
Ten activities across five ways of travelling: on foot, by paddle, by bike, on snow, and by vehicle for car camping. A trip carries its destination, its days, an estimate of the water it will take, and a gear check that tells you what is missing before you are standing in the driveway.
Sunrise, sunset and the twilights. Moon phase and moonrise. Tide predictions. A barometric pressure trend read off the phone's own sensor. All of it worked out on the device from the date and your position, which is why none of it needs a connection — and why you choose which of them appear on your home screen rather than the app guessing.
Tide predictions are astronomical only: they take no account of wind, storm surge or barometric pressure. The pressure reading is a trend indicator, not a forecast. Not every phone has a barometer.
Frame the region you are heading into, download it at home, and your destination and waypoints draw on it in the field with the radio off.
There is no turn-by-turn navigation and no routing, by decision rather than by omission. Keep the mapping app you already trust for that; this is the one that still works when it stops.
Knots, water treatment, shelter, wilderness first aid, animal tracks and sign, and what the plants and trees around you are good for — searchable offline, because the content is on the phone rather than fetched when you open it.
Hazards, warnings, toxic lookalikes and all of the wilderness first aid are free, always. Content whose absence could get someone hurt is never behind a purchase.
It is reference material for someone already trained, not a substitute for training, and it does not replace professional care. Every first-aid and medicinal entry names a citable source. You look up a plant you have found and read what is documented about it; you cannot enter a symptom and be handed a plant, and that is deliberate.
Later trips start from what your earlier ones actually recorded: what got consumed and needs replacing, what you carried and never touched, what you meant to bring and did not. It is filtered history and simple rules over your own logged data, running on your phone.
It is not machine learning, and we will not call it AI, smart or learning, because it is none of those things.
Backup goes to your own iCloud or your own Google Drive, inside your own storage quota, and there is an encrypted export you can keep yourself. We never see it. You never need an account to use the app.
Planned pricing, stated plainly. One payment, not a subscription — and the free tier is the main product for most people rather than a trial of the paid one.
