Someone knows where you are. Only the people you choose.
Crash detection, SOS with or without signal, and alerts to the followers you choose, each with its own switch. And a clear line around what the rest of the world can see.
SOS
Hold the red button for three seconds and your position goes to your followers. Works with and without signal. A rehearsal shows exactly what they’d see, with nothing sent.
Crash detection
A hard knock, then no movement, starts a loud countdown. If you don’t stop it, an SOS goes out.
Stopped alert
No movement for a time you set, with a pause for cafe stops.
Overdue alert
Not finished by a time you set. Your phone warns you first.
Ready before it goes wrong
Short, numbered steps for things that go wrong on a bike. Works with no signal.
The settings that matter on a long ride, like location always on and battery, what each does, and what goes wrong if it’s off.
Worked out on the phone: frost the evening before, parts due, and a warning before you’re overdue.
Privacy
- Privacy zone: a radius around home is trimmed from every public map.
- Each ride is public or private.
- Followers always see your full live track, because that’s the point.
- Nothing is ever sent to Strava or anywhere else. Saving a ride to Apple Health is your choice.
- Your data: download everything, or delete your account. Heart-rate consent can be switched off.
Alerts go to the followers you've chosen. There's no public feed and no one else is told.
