Skip the Rock™
and everything you need to finish it
a small michigan cabin brand built on a foundation of love, adventure, and an urgent desire to give back. Skip is about slowing down and walking the shoreline, one stone at a time. Skip is about giving back, even if it means skipping a grail, leaving it for someone else.

The Rock Journal™
free · no ads · eversnap the stone, name it, pin it to the map · 42 michigan stones and fossils to hunt down.
your top 8, the whole shelf, a bottle that fills as you find, and an unknown pile for the ones nobody can name yet. it lives on your phone · no account, no ads, nothing leaves your pocket.
install the Rock Journal · freethere are two camera buttons. one for the rock you took home, one for the rock you photographed and put back. those get their own number: stones skipped. give more than you take, counted.
the ID card
for the ones nobody can name yetevery rockhound has a pile of stones nobody can name. the people who can name them are already out there.
we call them the rock elders · the ones in the big Facebook groups who can call a stone off one bad phone photo, for free, all day, and have been doing it since long before any of us showed up.
the Rock Journal will never beat them at it. what it does is hand them a better photo than most people post. one tap builds the card, and the card already answers the three things the group always asks back.
- 1where did you find it · the shoreline, printed on the card. never the map pin.
- 2how big is it · one tap. thumbnail, golf ball, fist, two hands.
- 3when · the date it came off the beach, so the thread never has to ask.
then it writes the caption, names the two biggest rooms to post it in, and marks that rock out with the elders until somebody answers. when they do, it comes back rock elder certified and takes its place on the shelf.
