GoneCycling – cycling with full control over your data. GoneCycling is a focused cycling app for iPhone: record, plan, and ride – with no account, no subscription, no ads. All your rides, routes and settings live solely on your device. RECORD • Live map with your current position and heading; show your position as an icon if you like (bicycle, direction arrow, car …) • Ride recording with live stats – distance, duration, speed, elevation gain and an elevation profile; pause and resume anytime • Keeps running reliably in the background – even with the screen locked • Recording and navigation details on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island (Live Activity) • Notes, a 1–5 star rating, photos and free-form tags per ride – filter and group the list by tag, time period or location (federal state) • Transport mode per ride (cycling, on foot, car) – statistics and the widget break the figures down per mode • Share a ride as an image; a statistics overview with totals and records plus a Home Screen widget • Live POIs while riding (e.g. bakery, playground, ice cream) at the map edge – tapping one routes you straight there • GPX import and export for full data ownership; open .gpx files straight from the Files app with the app • Optionally back up individual rides to your own iCloud Drive – one tap on the cloud button per ride PLAN • Search for a destination or tap the map directly (start / waypoint / destination); "Search here" scopes the search to the area around a chosen point • Drag waypoints to move them, tap the route to insert intermediate points • Round-trip generator: proposes a loop of your chosen length from your location – reshuffle and save it as a planned ride • Customisable quick destinations (café, supermarket, gas station … – fully configurable) • Multiple routing providers to choose from: Apple, OpenRouteService and BRouter (server URL configurable) • Offline maps: download map areas in advance and use them without a connection • Bike profiles, avoidance options and spoken turn-by-turn guidance; elevation profile for routed paths (with OpenRouteService) TRIPS IN STAGES • Plan multi-day trips along a template route – or generate a route from start, destination and intermediate stops with no template at all • Automatic stage splitting by count or distance; snap to selectable types like hotel, vacation rental, hostel, B&B, campsite or station • Attach an accommodation to each stage – pick it on the map or from search, with a "booked?" status and check-in time; open the linked ride directly • Edit, merge, reorder and delete stages – with an elevation profile per stage GOALS • Set your own training goals like a fitness tracker – e.g. "100 km per week" or "5 hours of moving time per month" • Per transport mode (on foot, cycling, car) and period (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) – or as a one-off challenge with a deadline • Progress computed live from your rides, with a progress bar, percentage and streak counter • An optional local reminder at your chosen time and a little celebration when you reach a goal – fully on-device, no account • Home-screen widget with your active goals APPLE WATCH • Record rides straight from your wrist – as a workout with heart rate, even without your iPhone nearby • Finished rides arrive on your iPhone automatically; recent rides on the watch and a watch-face complication for a quick start YOUR STYLE • Choose an accent colour and light/dark mode; a short intro on first launch • Apple Maps or OpenStreetMap styles (CyclOSM, OpenTopoMap, worldwide, OpenStreetMap.de) – or your own custom tile URL PRIVACY BY DESIGN • No account, no backend, no forced cloud • No ads, no analytics, no tracking • Your data only leaves the device when you actively export it – via GPX or optionally to your own iCloud Drive German and English. Built for cyclists who value simplicity and control over their data. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.7 — 2026-07-26 - Mixed transport per stage: a stage can now consist of cycling sections and transfer sections (train, car). Mark parts of your route as a transfer - the distance is broken down per mode (e.g. "35 km cycling + 20 km train") across the overview, stage and ride details. - Configurable route styling: colour, thickness and line style can now be set per route type (Settings > Map & display) - with a live preview. Planned routes appear uniformly bold, while stage and template routes are red, so the lines are easy to tell apart. - Tidied-up routing & navigation: a single "Start navigation" button; tapping a place while riding makes it your direct next stop; "Ride this tour" now behaves like a stage (with an approach leg from your location). Routing follows a template more closely now, and the remaining distance no longer jumps backwards. - Toggleable navigation overlay: a tap switches between the full and a compact view (direction arrow, maneuver and destination distance, arrival time). The size of the overlay elements is freely adjustable in Settings. - Battery level above the record button (optional), with an estimate of the remaining runtime. - Places along the active stage are visible and tappable during navigation - add one as an intermediate stop directly; the live POI markers are larger. - Notes saved visibly: a "Saved" indicator on trips, rides and stages, plus extra protection against data loss. - Fix: elevation gain is no longer overestimated from GPS noise (no invented climb on flat routes); an interrupted recording can be resumed prominently from the map. ### 1.6 — 2026-07-19 New in 1.6: • Better navigation: turn-by-turn now reliably keeps updating live without freezing. Off-route detection accounts for GPS accuracy – far fewer false "off route" alerts. And the remaining distance to your destination is shown large and with a finish flag. • More responsive map in follow mode: panning and zooming now respond instantly – even the very first gesture is no longer swallowed, and the map no longer fights your fingers. • Pedestrian perspective: with the "Walking" routing profile the map tilts slightly in heading-up mode, and the follow rotation is smoother. • Fix: if you close the app during a recording, the Live Activity on the Lock Screen/Dynamic Island no longer appears to keep running – it freezes and shows "Ended". ### 1.5 — 2026-07-10 New in 1.5: • Travel diary: every trip now has a diary with one page per travel day – generated automatically from your plan (arrival, stages, rest days). Capture photos, notes and tags, and import photos from your recorded rides with one tap. • Places along the stage: while planning a trip, look up ice cream spots, playgrounds, swimming places & more along a stage and save them with a note and kilometre mark. Tapping a category automatically searches the whole route; on the map the places appear as markers along the stage – toggle them with the pin button. • Flatter routes: a new option to prefer as little elevation change as possible when planning – with BRouter as the "Flat (low elevation)" profile, with OpenRouteService as the "Avoid steep inclines" toggle (cycling/walking). • Fix: the average speed was shown far too high when riding slowly or walking – it's correct now. ### 1.4.1 — 2026-07-01 • A reward when you finish: after recording, a "Ride completed!" dialog shows a map of your route and key stats – and celebrates if you reached a goal along the way. • Easier stage planning: pick a lodging and it becomes both the stage destination AND its accommodation; hits show address, city and – when a template exists – the distance to your route. • Faster search: several matching suggestions appear as you type (map, stage planner, waypoint picker), and the whole result row is tappable. • Pick places on the map: a trip's start, destination and stops can now also be set directly on a map – crosshair button next to search. ### 1.4 — 2026-06-25 • Pair GoneCycling Web via QR code: just scan the code shown in the web app – the connection is set up automatically (manual entry still works). A new "More about GoneCycling Web" page explains the optional companion web app. • Navigate right away: tap a map point or pick a search result and navigate there from your location – the map jumps to the start and follows your heading. • Better map when zooming in: with the OSM styles (e.g. CyclOSM) a map now stays visible even at very high zoom; in heading-up mode it no longer spins away when you zoom. • More reliable recording: a hint on launch if location isn't set to "Always" (otherwise rides can be lost); background GPS now runs only while recording. ## More apps by Mario J.
