Calmavelo is an indoor cycling app for smart trainers, on iPhone and Apple Watch.
Build your FTP: it estimates your threshold from your rides, picks today's ride and holds the watts.
Requires a Bluetooth FTMS smart trainer. 5 rides free, then pay once. No subscription.
You stop planning and just pedal. The structure is handled for you.
WHAT IT DOES FOR YOU
- Steady training. Each ride fits how you've trained and recovered, so you never have to guess what to do today.
- Calmer. Today's ride is already chosen, so there's nothing to plan and nothing to prove.
- Consistent. Choose your trainer once. After that, opening the app and pedaling is the whole setup.
WORKS WITH
- Requires a Bluetooth FTMS smart trainer. Trainers that only send Cycling Power or ANT+ won't connect.
- Tested on: Van Rysel D500.
- Makers confirm Bluetooth FTMS for, among others: Van Rysel D500, Tacx NEO 3M, Tacx FLUX 2 Smart, Tacx FLUX S Smart, Elite Rivo, Saris H3 and H3+, Wahoo KICKR (2018 or later) and KICKR CORE with current firmware. Trainers without FTMS, for example Tacx NEO 2T, won't connect.
- iPhone with iOS 26 or later. Apple Watch optional, watchOS 26 or later. Ride from your Watch alone, no iPhone needed.
- Heart rate from your Apple Watch or a Bluetooth heart-rate strap.
- Brand names are trademarks of their owners.
HOW IT WORKS
- Choose your trainer once. After that, open the app and pedal: it reconnects by itself and the ride starts. No account, no login, no pairing ritual.
- Today's ride is ready, picked from your recent training and Apple Health recovery. Tap "Why?" to see the reasons.
- ERG holds your target watts through every interval. Quiet audio cues announce each block.
- Stop when you're done. The ride saves to Apple Health by itself.
BUILD YOUR FTP
- Your threshold (FTP), estimated from your rides. No test needed.
- Guided rides: recovery, endurance, tempo, sweet spot, threshold. Pick one, then just follow. Or import your own .zwo workouts.
- Also on the list: VO₂, 30/15, Openers and a Threshold Test.
- Ride by heart rate: pick a zone, the trainer adjusts the watts to keep you in it.
- Everything is calculated on your device.
CONTROL THE EFFORT
- ERG: hold a target wattage, whatever your cadence.
- Slope: ride a gradient from -10% to +20%, up to your trainer's limit.
- Resistance: set it and grind.
- Change it from your iPhone or your Apple Watch.
RIDE FROM YOUR WRIST
- Choose your trainer once on your Apple Watch. After that, it connects over FTMS by itself, no iPhone needed.
- Start, steer the effort and finish from your wrist.
- Heart rate from your wrist, watts from your trainer. With an iPhone nearby, both screens stay in sync.
SEE WHAT MATTERS
- Power, heart rate, cadence and speed in big, calm numbers. One clean graph. Tap a number to chart it.
- Distance calculated from your watts, and climbing on Slope rides.
- Every ride saved to Apple Health with power, cadence, speed, distance, heart rate and calories.
- Best efforts, heart-rate zones, power distribution and cardiac drift: how much harder your heart worked in the second half.
- Share any ride as a .FIT file for intervals.icu, Strava or Garmin Connect.
- Widgets, Siri and an Apple Watch complication.
