Field Log
What changed on the trail.
A running timeline of features, fixes, and product refinements shipped for hikers who notice every gram.
March 2026
Connect ShakedownKit to Claude or other AI tools through a Model Context Protocol server.
We added a Model Context Protocol server so you can wire ShakedownKit directly into AI tools like Claude.
Once connected, your assistant can read your gear inventory, browse your packs, pull weight summaries, and create or update items — all from a chat interface. It's for people who already use AI in their planning workflow and want their actual gear data in the conversation, not a copy-pasted list.
Access is gated by entitlement for now while we work out the kinks. Reach out if you want early access.
The icon picker now has presets for footwear, shelters, navigation tools, and more.
February 2026
Weights now convert precisely without floating-point drift across units.
January 2026
Kits now show the same interactive weight chart you know from pack detail.
December 2025
Hover any slice to see exactly how much a section is adding to your base weight.
We added an interactive weight breakdown donut to the pack detail panel.
Hover over a section slice to see its name, total weight, and percentage of base weight — right in the panel, without digging through rows. It's the fastest way to spot which section is carrying most of your load before a shakeout.
The same chart shows up on public pack pages too, so anyone you share a link with gets the same at-a-glance view.
The Android app is out, with full gear, kit, and pack management synced to the web.
The Android app launched today.
You get the same gear inventory, kit builder, and pack planning tools as the web and iOS apps — and everything stays in sync across devices. Import from LighterPack, browse your packs offline, and share public links from your phone.
We built it natively with Jetpack Compose and wired it into the same sync layer as iOS. No watered-down version — same app, different platform.
A new place to read longer-form gear notes, trail reports, and system breakdowns.
We added a trail journal section to the site.
The first entries cover things we've actually tested on the trail — gear system thinking, weight targets by trip type, and notes on what surprised us. The RSS feed is live if you want updates without having to check back.
This is a place for longer writing that doesn't fit in a gear note or pack description. More entries coming as we get out on trails this spring.
Shared pack links now open with a cleaner layout and collapsible sections.
Gear items with the same name no longer share a color slice in the breakdown chart.
Every pack now has a public page you can share with your trail crew.
