A development house building applications for high-intensity sports at the edges of altitude and depth. Free diving, climbing, biathlon, paragliding and summiting.
Tools with the precision the discipline demands, built with people who actually go up and down.

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 by design
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 with the people who do it
No generic fitness template retrofitted with meaningless metrics or features. Each tool is designed with athletes in the discipline, for the ten thousand who take it seriously.

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.
Trace the peaks that count. Log summits across the Grossglockner, Ortler and Piz Bernina 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.
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.
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.

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.

Ascent
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.
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.
Short version: this site is a single page that doesn't track you, and the only personal data we ever get is what you choose to put in an email to us. The longer version below is written to line up with UK and EU data-protection law (UK GDPR and Regulation (EU) 2016/679), so it names the boring bits properly.
Vert Labs is an early-stage project. The apps described here are still in development and haven't launched. This covers the website only — we'll write a proper policy for any app before it collects a single thing.
01Who's behind this
Vert Labs runs this site. We're the ones responsible for any personal data it touches. The best way to reach us about anything privacy-related is hello@vertlabs.dev. We haven't set up a formal legal entity yet; once we do, its name and registered address will go here.
02What the site collects
Nothing automatic. There's no analytics, no ad tech, no tracking pixels, no non-essential cookies, and no sign-up or contact form. Just visiting doesn't create an account or a profile.
The only way to hand us personal data through this site is to email one of our published addresses. If you do, we get whatever you wrote — your name, your email, your message.
03Hosting and technical bits
A third-party host serves this page. Like any web host, it handles some basic technical data to deliver the site and keep it secure — your IP address and standard request logs, for example. That happens under the host's own terms and is just how the web works. We don't touch that data or use it to work out who you are.
04What we do with an email you send
We read it and reply. That's it. In legal terms, we're relying on our legitimate interest in answering people who get in touch (Article 6(1)(f)), and on taking steps at your request if you're reaching out about working with us (Article 6(1)(b)). We don't use your email for marketing.
05Who else sees it
We don't sell your data and we don't share it for advertising. A couple of providers help us run things — our website host and our email provider — and they may handle data on our behalf. If one of them processes data outside the UK or EEA, we lean on their own safeguards for that (Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision).
06How long we keep it
We hold on to email correspondence just long enough to deal with your message and any sensible follow-up, then delete it. There's no other database of personal data behind this site.
07Your rights
Under UK and EU law you can ask to see your data, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to how we use it, or get a portable copy — within the limits the law sets. Just email hello@vertlabs.dev and we'll sort it.
If you're in the UK and you're not happy with how we've handled things, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
If you're in the EU, you can complain to your local data-protection authority.
08Kids
This site isn't aimed at children and we don't knowingly collect anything from them.
09If this changes
As the project grows — especially once an app is on the way — we'll update this. When something meaningful changes, we'll change the date at the top.
These are the ground rules for using vertlabs.dev. Using the site means you're okay with them. If you're not, no hard feelings — just don't use it.
This covers the website you're looking at, nothing more. There's no Vert Labs app to access yet, and when there is, it'll come with its own terms.
01What this site is
This is an informational site from Vert Labs ("we", "us") about apps we're planning to build. Everything here is a concept in progress. None of it is an offer, a promise to ship anything specific, or a commitment to a particular feature, platform, or timeline. Things will change.
02Using it
Feel free to look around and share it for personal, non-commercial use. Just don't try to break it, get into parts you shouldn't, or use it in ways the law doesn't allow.
03The name and the design
The Vert Labs name, the words, and the look of this site are ours (or our licensors'). Please don't copy or reuse them beyond what these terms or the law allow without asking us first.
04No guarantees
The site comes "as is". As far as the law allows, we're not promising it'll be accurate, always up, or fit for any particular purpose. Anything we say about future apps can change, and they might not turn out exactly as described here.
05Links out
We sometimes link to other sites. We can't vouch for what's on them, and a link isn't an endorsement.
06Changes and contact
We'll update these as the project evolves — the date above is the current version. Questions: hello@vertlabs.dev.
