giromatics shows you all your rides at a glance. It pulls them from Apple Health automatically and shows you how far you've ridden: this month, this year and across all years. No social feed, no posting, no sign-up. Just you and your rides. STRAIGHT FROM APPLE HEALTH On first launch, giromatics imports your entire cycling history, including routes. After that, new rides show up on their own, even in the background. Rides on a trainer or in Zwift are counted separately. STATS THAT MOTIVATE • Distance and elevation for this month, last month and the year • Monthly bars, time in the saddle and an overview of every year • In total or per bike, e.g. MTB, road or gravel YEARLY GOALS Set a goal for distance and elevation. giromatics always shows whether you're ahead of or behind plan. YOUR REGULAR ROUTES Routes you ride often are detected automatically. See your best time, fastest average speed and how your times develop. EVERY RIDE ON ONE MAP All your rides drawn on top of each other, filtered by year or bike. WIDGETS AND NOTIFICATIONS Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your progress toward your yearly goal. Get notified about a new ride, every 500 km, when you reach a goal and when you set a new best time. Each one can be turned off. ROUTES FROM FILES Ride missing its GPS route, for example because Garmin Connect doesn't send routes to Apple Health? Just import the FIT, GPX or ZIP file. giromatics matches it to the right ride automatically. Rides recorded twice are only counted once. TOURS Group several rides into one tour – for example a trip across the Alps. Every tour gets its own colour on the map, and you see distance, elevation and time for the whole tour. Elevation and heart rate: Every ride shows its elevation profile and heart rate along the route. PRIVATE No account, no tracking, no ads. Everything stays on your device.
