## What is Loam?

Loam is the maintenance brain for your mountain bike and e-bike. It tells you when your suspension, drivetrain and brakes are due for service or replacement based on how far and how long you actually ride and reminds you before it bites on the trail. Fork and shock service, chain and cassette wear, brake pads and rotors, dropper and bearings - Loam tracks it all from your real ride hours and kilometres.

Track every part:
    • Fork, shock & dropper - service intervals from ride hours
    • Chain & cassette - wear by distance (e-bike-aware)
    • Brake pads & rotors - front and rear, tracked separately (rotor thickness too)
    • Tires, bearings, headset, bottom bracket & wheels - time-based checks

Track your way:
    • Manual - add your bikes, set service dates, and Loam counts down to the next one.
    • Strava - optionally connect Strava to import your own rides, so service intervals update automatically from your ride time and distance.
    • Bosch eBike - connect a Bosch eBike (EU accounts) to import motor hours and odometer for accurate e-bike wear.

More in the app:
    • Maintenance reminders so you don't have to remember
    • The Workshop - track spares, fluids and cleaning stock
    • Tuning assistant - private fork and shock setup help, one clear change at a time
    • Shop the part - jump to the right spare or service kit when something is due
    • Background Strava sync and pull-to-refresh in the garage
    • Suspension setup history - keep a log of your tunes
    • The Kit Bag - track helmets, pads and riding gear too
    • Optional encrypted cloud backup - move your garage to a new phone with a recovery code

Loam complements Strava - Strava stays your ride recorder; Loam turns that history into maintenance reminders. It does not replace Strava's recording, social, segments, or analytics.

Privacy first:
    • Your rides are read directly from Strava to your device - never sent to our servers, never shared, never sold, never used for ads or AI.
    • Optional cloud backup is encrypted on your device before upload - we store only data we can't read.
    • You only ever see your own data.
    • Connections are optional; the app works fully without them.
    • Disconnect anytime; your access is revoked and the token removed from your device.

Available in 7 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian and Hebrew.

No account required. Free.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.11.2 — 2026-09-02

What's new in 2.11.2:

• Your bike's health dial now counts the parts that wear out and get replaced - chain, tyres, brake pads, rotors - not only the parts you service. A bike with worn pads used to read green. The figure is the worst part's wear, so the number, the colour and the warning finally agree.
• Your service record now says where the numbers came from - read from the bike's motor, synced from your logged rides, or entered by you. A buyer can see the difference, so connecting your sources makes your record worth more at resale.
• Suggested service shops now use where you actually are, not the language your phone is set to. An English phone in Israel was being shown nothing at all.
• Service names read in your own language. "Full service / rebuild" and the other suspension service names were still appearing in English inside otherwise translated sentences.
• The tuning assistant offers one change at a time. Asking the next question replaces the last suggestion instead of stacking another on top.
• Importing bikes from Strava keeps trim names intact ("Crafty Carbon RR", not "Rr") and no longer offers your bike's model year as the current year.
• Restoring a backup no longer loses the ride count on bikes that were tracked before the rides interval existed.

### 2.11.1 — 2026-08-30

What's new in 2.11.1:

• Numbers are now written the way your language writes them. If you use a decimal comma, Loam shows 80,5 - it already accepted 80,5 when you typed it, and now it answers in kind.
• The sample garage speaks your language throughout. Its service lines were still English in every non-English translation.
• Buttons size themselves correctly everywhere, so no control can lay itself out where it cannot be seen or tapped.
• Your data is harder to lose. A bike or a part this version cannot read - because a newer version of Loam wrote it, or a file was damaged - is now carried through untouched instead of being dropped from your garage on the next save.
• A mistyped replacement interval in the Kit Bag no longer erases the one you had set. Loam asks again instead.
• Cropped bike photos are stored at a fraction of the size, with no visible difference.
• The Kit Bag edit button now announces itself correctly to VoiceOver, instead of saying "Edit bike" on a helmet.

### 2.11.0 — 2026-08-28

What's new in 2.11.0:

• Suspension settings now read against their real scale: a click adjuster shows "6 of 16" with its position on the dial, sag shows its target band, and air pressure shows the maker's chart band for your weight.
• Setup history names what you changed - "LSC 4 -> 6, +2" - instead of just counting values.
• Fork sag was wrong, and it is fixed. Loam showed a 25-30% target; the correct figure is 15-20%. A correctly set fork was drawn as under-sagged and the tuning assistant advised softening it. Corrected everywhere, the assistant included.
• Change the date of a logged service, or delete an entry you logged by mistake. The wear clocks go back to exactly what they read before it.
• A restore interrupted part-way now finishes on the next launch, so a backup restore never leaves a half-restored garage.
• Start clean removes only what the sample garage added. Your own Kit Bag gear, trips and history stay put.
• Connection rows and the recovery-code tile now say when a check failed, instead of quietly reading "Not connected".
• VoiceOver reads the wear dials and component tiles, empty screens explain themselves, and long languages and large text sizes fit.

### 2.10.0 — 2026-08-26

What's new in 2.10.0:

• Import cycling workouts from Apple Health to keep your service clocks accurate.
• Rides without a recorded distance now count by duration, keeping hours-based service intervals accurate.
• Undo a service marked by mistake and restore the exact previous values.
• Duplicate Apple Health workouts are no longer counted twice.
• True-black dark mode now reaches every screen.
• The bike wear dial is smoother and stays readable at every text size.

### 2.9.0 — 2026-08-11

What's new in 2.9.0:

• Bring your own rides - import GPX or TCX files straight from a Garmin, Wahoo or Coros, or pull cycling workouts from Apple Health on iPhone. No Strava account needed to keep your service clocks honest. A bike is fed by one source only, so nothing is ever counted twice.

• See how far through an interval every part really is - "36 of 50 h", "537 of 3000 km", "2 of 3 months". Overdue parts show the real interval instead of pretending they just reached it, and a part with no service history asks for one rather than showing a fabricated zero.

• Service every N rides - riders think in rides, not just hours. Set a count on any part and it comes due when the rides, the distance, the hours or the calendar gets there first.

• Your own maintenance intervals - sealant, bearings, headset, bottom bracket, wheels, pedals, saddle and grips are judged on calendar time, and now you choose the months. Dry climate and topping up sealant monthly? Say so.

• Keep the paperwork - serial number, purchase date and price per bike, plus receipts attached to a service, a part or the whole bike. Receipts stay on your phone and never go to the cloud.

• Torque specs you can trust - manufacturer figures with their source, shown on the parts that have them. Where no figure is published, Loam shows nothing rather than a guess.
