One focused ride screen
Map, GPS, speed, distance, direction, elevation and live weather — everything you need is on screen before you roll.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
A cycling computer, done properly.
Every tile, every colour, every unit — Live Ride is built to be reconfigured until it's exactly yours.
Your dashboard, your rules
Design the exact screen you want to see mid-rideDrag to reorder
Pick which tiles show and arrange them by hand. Choose small, medium or large tiles and three map sizes to match how you ride.
Unlimited dashboard presets
Save separate layouts for road, climbing, minimal or exploring — switch between them in one tap, or build your own from scratch.
Built for accuracy
Real GPS engineering, not a spinning numberGPS filtering
Bad fixes, sudden jumps and stale points are rejected before they touch your stats, so distance and route lines stay clean.
Smoothed speed & elevation
Speed and elevation are smoothed so the numbers read naturally, with ascent and descent using hysteresis to ignore GPS noise.
Real-time grade
A rolling-window grade calculation, clamped and smoothed, so climbs and descents read accurately without twitching.
Auto-pause
Stops timing automatically at a red light or café stop and resumes the moment you're moving again — sensitivity is yours to tune.
Background recording
Keeps tracking with the screen off or while you switch apps — pocket the phone and ride.
Screen stays awake
The display won't sleep mid-ride, so your dashboard is always glanceable.
Map & routes
Know where you are and where you're goingLive map with heading arrow
A directional arrow and your route line, drawn in your own accent colour, on a clean full-screen map.
Built-in compass
Heading and compass direction tiles, always available on the dashboard.
Plan a route in seconds
Build a round-trip or one-way route from any address with a target distance, or import a GPX file. Choose to avoid highways and toll roads, then follow it with on-map turn cues and optional spoken directions.
History, stats & your data
Every ride, kept — and yours to take with youFull ride history
Every completed ride is saved on your device with a map thumbnail, distance, time and elevation at a glance.
Ride detail & elevation chart
Distance, moving time, average and max speed, ascent, descent and average grade, plus a full elevation profile.
Statistics
Totals and personal records by week, month, year or all time, charted with your accent colour.
Weekly goals
Set a weekly target for distance, time, climbing or ride count, and watch your progress fill in automatically as you ride.
GPX export & import
Export any ride as a standard GPX file, or import routes from anywhere else — your data is never locked in.
Full backup & restore
Save every ride, route, preset and setting into one file you keep in Files, iCloud Drive or AirDrop, and restore it — even after a full reinstall. No account, no server.
Share a ride
Generate a shareable image of a finished ride — route, stats and all — straight from the app's own design.
Optional Apple Health sync
Off by default. Turn it on to save rides as workouts and pull in heart-rate data recorded by your watch or strap.
Make it yours
Nothing is hard-coded — not even the accent colour10 accent colours + custom picker
Choose a preset or pick any colour you like — it flows through tabs, buttons, the route line and every chart. Turn on "Match App Icon to Theme" and your home-screen icon follows too.
Light, dark or system
Match your phone's appearance automatically, or lock in the mode you prefer.
High-contrast mode
Stronger borders and bolder text for bright sunlight or low-vision riding.
Reduce motion
An option to calm dashboard animation for a simpler, steadier display.
Metric or imperial
Switch units at any time — every tile and chart reformats instantly.
Audio announcements
Spoken distance, time and average-speed updates at whatever interval you set, plus turn cues when you're following a planned route — ducking your music briefly to speak.
The whole point
No accounts. No subscriptions.
No accounts. No subscriptions.
No catch.
Live Ride was built the way a cycling computer should work: you open it and it works. No forms to fill in before your first ride.
No accounts, ever
There's no sign-up screen, no email, no password and no login. Install the app and the first thing you do is ride.
No subscriptions
Your first 10 rides are free. After that, one optional one-time purchase unlocks unlimited riding — for good. No trial that expires, no auto-renewing plan, no monthly charge.
Nothing leaves your device
Live Ride doesn't have a server. Rides, routes and stats live in on-device storage — export or share only when you choose to.
How it's funded: Live Ride Pro is a single, optional, non-consumable purchase through the App Store — not a subscription. It never expires and it's never billed again. Your existing rides and history are never locked behind it.

Privacy by construction
Built with nothing to leak.
Live Ride has no backend, no analytics SDK and no third-party trackers in its code. There's simply nowhere for your data to go unless you send it yourself.
- Location and ride data are used on-device to record your ride, and stored on-device — never uploaded to a Live Ride server, because there isn't one.
- No analytics, no advertising SDKs, no third-party tracking of any kind.
- Apple Health sync is opt-in and off by default; purchases are processed entirely by Apple.
- Exporting a GPX file or sharing a ride image only ever happens when you tap share.
Questions
Frequently asked
Do I need to create an account?
No. Live Ride has no sign-up, no login and no user profile of any kind. Install it and
start your first ride straight away.
What happens after my 10 free rides?
You can unlock unlimited rides with a single one-time purchase — Live Ride Pro. It's
not a subscription: there's no recurring charge and no expiry. Every ride you've already recorded, and all
of your history, is always yours regardless.
Is my ride data private?
Yes. Rides, routes and settings are stored only on your iPhone. Live Ride has no
server to send them to, and the app contains no analytics or advertising SDKs. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Does Live Ride work without an internet connection?
Ride recording, GPS tracking and your dashboard work fully offline. Like any Maps app,
loading fresh map imagery benefits from a connection, but your ride keeps recording regardless of signal.
Can Live Ride plan a route for me?
Yes. Build a round-trip or one-way route from any address with a target distance,
choose to avoid highways and toll roads, or import a GPX file. Follow it with on-map turn cues and
optional spoken directions.
Which devices are supported?
Live Ride is built natively in SwiftUI for iPhone running iOS 17 or later.
Does it support Apple Watch or Bluetooth sensors?
Heart rate, cadence and power tiles are already built into the dashboard, ready for a
future update that adds Bluetooth sensor and Apple Watch support. Today, if a watch or chest strap
recorded your heart rate to Apple Health during a ride, Live Ride can import it afterwards.
Can I get my data out of the app?
Yes. Export any ride as a standard GPX file at any time, or generate a shareable image
of a completed ride from the History tab.
Open the app. Start riding.
No account to create, no plan to choose. Live Ride is free to download, with your first 10 rides on the house.
