## What is VADO ~ bike commute tracker?

VADO records your bike rides on its own. Nothing to press when you leave, nothing to press when you arrive.

Set your home and work locations once. After that the app sleeps with GPS off, wakes when you leave one of them, checks that you are really cycling, and records the whole ride. It finishes when you arrive and draws the route on a map.

WHAT YOU GET
Every ride as a list entry and a route on a map
Distance, duration, average and top speed, elevation gain
Rides between home and work marked as commutes
Totals by week, month and year, with the CO2 saved against the same distance by car

PRIVACY
Your rides stay on your phone. There is no account and no login. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you turn on one of the two sharing options yourself, and each one shows you exactly what it would send before you agree.

Strava: send finished rides to your own Strava account.
Places board: send a workplace, a date and a distance to a board that ranks workplaces and never people, with no identifier of any kind.

No analytics. No crash reporting. No advertising. No tracking.

VADO needs Always location access, because a ride that records only while the app is open would not be automatic. Between rides it waits on geofences rather than GPS, so it costs very little battery at rest.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-10-09

- A new typeface, ABC Areal by Dinamo: easier to read, with numbers and data set in its monospaced companion.
- A new screen at the end of setup explains where to keep your phone while riding, so rides aren't missed. You see it once after updating.
- The Board tab now shows how many people sharing with the board are riding right now, in your workplace's province and everywhere.
- What leaves your phone: with sharing on, while VADO records any ride, commute or not, it tells the board's server that a ride is under way, with a random code new for each ride and your workplace's province. The server forgets it when the ride ends, or after two hours. The count is shown to anyone on VADO's website. If you already share, you are not asked again; the privacy policy describes it. The switch is now called "Share with your workplace".

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-01

- The board now shows the current year and starts again each January. It used to add up every commute since it began. The board on the website changed the same way.
- Stats and Rides have a new period, All, covering every ride you have recorded. On Stats it is one bar per month, or one per year once your rides span more than two years.
- Stats and Rides remember whether you last looked at a week, a month, a year or All.
- The Board tab now sits after Rides.
- On a phone set to the Italy region, Stats shows what car fuel for the same distance would cost, and the board shows it for Italian provinces.
- A ride between a Home and a Work close to each other is now always recognised as a commute.
- On a phone set to a calendar other than the Gregorian one, the dates sent to the board and to Strava are now correct.
- Pulling down to try again when the board could not be loaded now works.
- The permission screen shows each answer on the right, once you have given it.
- VADO now records rides it used to miss when your phone's motion data said nothing as you left. It then checks your speed for up to a minute before keeping the ride, and the recording banner appears once the ride is confirmed.
- The "Phone carried in a bag" setting is gone. Rides with the phone in a bag, a backpack, a cargo bike box or on a handlebar mount are no longer recorded: carry the phone in a pocket.
- VADO now tells you when Precise Location is off for it. Without it iOS cannot tell VADO when you leave home or work, so no ride is recorded.
- VADO now tells you when Motion & Fitness is off for it. Without it VADO cannot check that you are cycling, and a car or bus trip may be recorded as a ride.
- At a stop of five minutes away from home and work, VADO now turns GPS off even indoors, where it drifts. A ride that starts while you are still standing is no longer deleted for being too slow.
- A stop of up to an hour and a half away from home and work no longer splits a ride in two. A commute with a stop on the way is now one commute, sent as one ride to the board and to Strava when you share them.
- With Strava set to send every ride, or other rides, a ride that ends away from home and work is held for up to an hour and a half before it is sent, in case you ride on.
- A ride joined across a stop shows how long you stopped in its details.
- Turning on sharing with the board now lets you choose your workplace, then shows what will be sent. The workplace is shown under the switch, where you can change or remove it.
- Searching for your workplace now finds places near your Work location, nearest first.
- Stats and Rides now return to the current week, month or year when you come back to VADO, unless you had moved to an earlier one.
- Longer explanations in Settings, Stats and the board are now behind an info button at the end of the sentence.
- The confirmation for deleting a ride, or all data, now says what stays on Strava and on the board.
- After you disconnect Strava, VADO returns to Settings.
- The name under the app icon now reads VADO.
