## What is Velorki?

Velorki plans bike routes, guides you along them and records your rides, all on your iPhone and offline too: planning, routing, search, navigation and recording. No account, no sign-up.

Your routes and rides stay with you: on your iPhone, or synced through your own iCloud or Google Drive, never through our servers. The code is public, so anyone can check that. Export them as GPX, FIT or TCX anytime.

PLANNING
• Tap waypoints on the map and get a route for the bike you are on: touring, road, gravel, mountain bike, or the direct way.
• Loops from your door: say how far you want to ride and, if you like, one place to pass, and Velorki proposes round trips that come back to where you started.
• Alternative routes, an elevation profile and the surfaces ahead; colour the route by gradient, surface, wind or rain.
• Search places, save routes to your library, and download a region to use it all without a connection.
• Plan in the browser at app.velorki.com, signed in to the same iCloud or Google account: your library is there, and Plus if you have it.

MAP AND WEATHER
• A cycle map drawn from the routing data, offline: bike paths and lanes, one-way streets, steps and climbs.
• Stops on the map: water, cafés, toilets, bike repair and more, also along the route ahead.
• Rain radar, wind and clouds on the map, with a time slider into the next hours.
• The wind and rain along your route for the time you leave.

NAVIGATION
• Turn-by-turn directions with spoken cues, also with the screen locked, also for routes you import.
• Leave the route and choose what happens: a way back to it, a new route to the destination, or nothing at all.

RECORDING
• Records with the screen off, with auto-pause, and shows the ride on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
• Choose the figures you see while riding, from speed and heart rate to power and what is left of the route.
• Heart rate from Apple Watch, Bluetooth sensors and Apple Health; speed, cadence and power sensors too.
• The Velorki app on Apple Watch starts, pauses and ends the ride from your wrist.
• Each ride gets a page with its map, charts and splits.

FILES AND CONNECTIONS
• Open and export GPX, FIT and TCX files.
• Connect two popular route and ride platforms to upload your rides and bring your routes in. Free.

FREE, AND VELORKI PLUS
Everything the phone can do on its own is free, and so is sync.

Velorki Plus is a subscription for what needs our servers:
• Finer weather: radar across Europe from the national weather services, and a sharper forecast along the route.
• The assistant: describe the ride you want in a sentence and get a route, or ask it about the route on the map.
• Share links: turn a route or a ride into a link anyone can open in a browser.

Velorki Plus comes as a monthly and a yearly auto-renewing subscription; the yearly one starts with a free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and it can be managed and cancelled in your Apple Account settings. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when a subscription is purchased.

Terms of use: https://velorki.com/terms
Privacy policy: https://velorki.com/privacy

PRIVACY
No ads, no analytics. The assistant asks for your consent before any text leaves the device, and the position it sends is rounded to about a kilometre.

CONTINUED USE OF GPS
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Velorki only keeps the GPS running while a ride is being recorded or navigated.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-26

• Sync your routes, rides and settings through your own iCloud or Google Drive, between iPhone, iPad and the web planner at app.velorki.com. Your routes and rides stay with you.
• Plan in the browser at app.velorki.com: sign in with the same iCloud or Google account and your library is there. Plus works there too, once the app with Plus syncs to the same account.
• Velorki on iPad: the map across the whole screen, the app in a column beside it, on the side you choose.
• Settings are now an overview, each group on its own page.
• The download button shows whether the area in view is already downloaded.
• Weather map: a layer only shows as unavailable after several tries, and the warning clears by itself once the service is back.
• Dark map styles show town dots again.
• A notice when a new version of Velorki is in the App Store.
• Small fixes: "Undo" messages close by themselves, and Google sign-in asks only once.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-16

• Weather on the map, free: rain radar, wind and clouds, with a time slider into the next hours.
• The weather along your route: wind and rain for the time you leave, one slider for the departure.
• Colour the route by gradient, surface, wind or rain, on the map and under the elevation profile.
• An offline cycle map: bike paths and lanes, one-way streets, steps and climbs, drawn from the routing data.
• Stops on the map: water, cafés, bakeries, toilets, bike repair and more, and the ones along your route.
• Tap a place for its card: Route here, Add as a stop, opening hours and more.
• Search finds much more offline: house numbers, typos, other alphabets, restaurants and petrol stations.
• Imported routes get spoken turns too.
• The connections to route and ride platforms are now free, and one Share button holds them all.
• Velorki Plus: real radar across Europe and a sharper forecast along the route.
• Velorki now speaks French, Spanish, Italian and Dutch.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-06
