## What is Ridgeform?

Ridgeform turns your cycling and running routes into stunning 3D art you'll actually want to share.

Import a route from Strava, your GPX library, or sync directly from Apple Health, and Ridgeform sculpts it into a glowing 3D model — every climb, descent, and twist of your ride, rendered as a physical shape you can orbit and explore. Choose a color theme, add your own photo backdrop, and export a share-ready card in seconds.

WHAT MAKES RIDGEFORM DIFFERENT

• 3D Route Sculpture — Not a flat map. Your route becomes a physical shape you can see from every angle, with elevation color-coded from valley greens to summit highlights.

• Orbiting Camera — A smooth orbital animation brings your route to life, revealing its character as it slowly rotates.

• Share Cards — Export as a Live Photo, Video (Instagram Reels, TikTok), animated GIF, or high-res PNG. Every format is tuned for social media.

• Your Photo as Background — Use any photo or video from your camera roll as the card background. Your 3D route floats over your own ride footage.

• Six Curated Themes — Moss, Clay, Summit, Tarmac, Frost, and Tempest. Each theme controls every color in the card — route glow, text, data labels, gradients — for a cohesive look.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Connect Strava or import a GPX file
2. Pick a route and choose your theme
3. Customize: swap background, edit route name and location, switch between Elevation and Altitude views
4. Export and share

FEATURES

• Strava integration — Sync your routes with one tap
• GPX import — Drop in any .gpx file from Garmin, Wahoo, Komoot, or other platforms
• Live Photo export — 3-second loop, perfect for lock screens and social feeds
• Video export — Up to 30 seconds, MP4 format
• Animated GIF — Lightweight, universal
• Static PNG — Best single angle, high resolution
• Editable card text — Customize route name and starting location before export
• Two 3D modes — Elevation (true shape) and Altitude (raised profile showing absolute height)
• Data overlay — Distance, elevation gain, estimated time, route type
• Works offline — No internet needed after import

Ridgeform is made for cyclists and runners who want to share more than a screenshot. See the shape of your effort.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-07-21

Version 1.1.1 — Smoother sync + Strava session handling.
• Apple Health now auto-refreshes every time you open the Import screen (after you've connected it once). No more tapping Sync to see new workouts.
• If your Strava access has been revoked or expires while the app was in the background, you'll see a clear reconnect prompt the next time you open the app. Previously, this could silently fail with a generic error.
Thanks for the feedback.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-20

Version 1.1 — Apple Health support and behind-the-scenes polish.

• Sync your workouts directly from Apple Health (workouts recorded by Apple Watch, iPhone, or third-party apps that sync to Health — Garmin, Wahoo, and others).
• Trail runs and Zwift rides now display with the correct activity type and get an elevation profile tuned for their terrain.
• Out-and-back routes render with clearer separation between the outbound and return legs.
• "Powered by Strava" attribution added throughout the Strava-connected experience.
• Apple Health sync — Pull your workouts directly from Apple Health with one tap (no Strava account needed)

Thanks to everyone who's been trying Ridgeform since launch. More on the way.
