Instruments for the vertical world.

A development house building applications for high-intensity sports at the edges of altitude and depth. Free diving, high climbing, ski-shooting, paragliding, summiting.

Tools with the precision the discipline demands, built with people who actually go up and down.

Built at the extremes

Why we exist
A · Fidelity

Data that survives the environment

A dive computer, a barometric altimeter, a shot timer. These read true in conditions that break consumer wearables. We build software to the same standard. It stays accurate deep underwater and high on the peak, or it doesn't ship.

B · Restraint

Privacy is a default, not a setting

Your line down the couloir is yours. Every app runs in a solo mode that keeps your logs private by default. You choose when to share, and exactly how much, when you want the community around you.

C · Belonging

Made by the people who do it

No generic fitness template retrofitted with a summit icon. Each tool is designed with athletes in the discipline, for the ten thousand who take it seriously. Not the ten million who won't.

Apnea

Free diving · High-depth scuba

A logbook and descent computer for the breath-hold and technical crowd. It plots depth against time, tracks surface intervals and gas plans, and turns every dive into a clean profile you can read at a glance. It learns your rhythm so the numbers that matter surface first.

Prominence

Summiting · Alpine · Ski-mountaineering

Trace the peaks that count. Log summits across the Grossglockner, the Wildspitze, the Dachstein and beyond. Chase prominence, vertical gained, and known lines rather than flat distance. A leaderboard for people who measure a good day in metres up.

Crimp

Rock & pick climbing · Gym & outdoor

One log for the whole climbing life. Plastic and stone, training and sending. Track sessions on the board, projects on the wall, and grade pyramids over a season. Pull hangboard and finger-load data alongside your sends so you can see what the training actually bought you.

Thermal

Paragliding · Hike-and-fly

A flight log and vario companion for pilots. Replay your track in three dimensions, see where you found lift and where you sank, and study the day's thermals against terrain and wind. Built for the hike-and-fly purist who earns the launch on foot.

Zero

Biathlon · Cross-country · Ski-shooting

Track the run and the range in one pass. Log loops, splits and heart rate on skis, then mark every shot, prone and standing, against range time and stage. See how a hot lap wrecks your grouping, and drill the exact place where fatigue meets accuracy.

Acclimatisation · Cross-discipline

The layer underneath all of it. Model acclimatisation and decompression across altitude and depth, watch your load and recovery over a training block, and get an honest read on readiness before the big objective. One health engine feeding every Vert Labs instrument you carry.

The line we hold

Manifesto

We build for the summit and the sounding line. The places where a rounded number gets someone hurt. Every instrument is accurate first, private by default, and social only on your terms. No feed you didn't ask for. No metric that doesn't matter. We ship the tool a serious athlete would actually carry, and nothing less leaves the lab.
