Everest was a mobile app which aimed to help users live life dreams and accomplish personal goals. The app helped users break their dreams (learn to rock climb, travel to India, run a marathon etc.) down into smaller steps, share photos and written content, and included social features which allowed users to connect with others.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.businessinsider.com/apps-the-tech-world-loves-2013-2#everest-helps-you-break-down-big-tasks-making-them-more-achievable-8 )〕 Everest was available for iOS, but the company said they intended to make Android and web versions available in the future. In June 2014, the app went inactive on social media.
