About

CyclePilot

You've got a goal. Maybe your first 100-mile ride next month. Maybe a cycling marathon in the fall, or a multi-day tour across the Alps. Until then you have to ride regularly and keep getting stronger. And that's where the work nobody wants begins: checking the forecast every day, moving rides around, rebuilding your calendar after the rain moved on again. CyclePilot takes that over. Fully automatically. HOW IT WORKS You tell CyclePilot once how you tick: which days you want to ride, at what times, how often per week, and how much weather you can handle. CyclePilot reads your calendar, keeps checking the forecast, and reschedules your rides on its own into the time slots that fit. No manual shuffling. No Sunday night spent re-sorting your whole week. WHO CYCLEPILOT IS FOR For ambitious amateur riders chasing a specific goal and willing to ride regularly for weeks. On a road bike, gravel bike, or the trainer. If you take your goals seriously but don't want to do planning work every day, you're in the right place. WHAT CYCLEPILOT DOES FOR YOU • Automatic rescheduling: rides move on their own to the days and times with the best weather, by your own rules. • Calendar integration: CyclePilot works directly with your calendar instead of being yet another app working in isolation. • Personal weather thresholds: you decide when a day counts as "rideable." • Goal-oriented planning: a steady weekly target, or working toward one goal. • Strava and Apple Health: your rides arrive automatically, no manual import. • Your own routes: GPX import plus route suggestions built from your most-ridden loops. • Indoor trainer: optional indoor rides fill the days when the weather won't play along. • Apple Watch and widgets: today and the week on your wrist, your ride and due maintenance with battery levels on the Home and Lock Screen. • Stay on it: weekly streaks, achievements, and progress you can share. • Pair your sensors: heart rate strap, cadence, power, radar, and Di2 shifting on iPhone, with battery levels and a warning before a device dies mid-ride. • Maintenance calculated ahead: chain, tires, and lights based on the rides you have planned, with a reminder three days early. • Control Center and Action Button: view today's ride, replan the week, skip the day, or check maintenance without opening the app. • Your plan stays yours: whatever you move by hand, the planner leaves alone. If the weather shifts, CyclePilot tells you instead of quietly rearranging your week. BUILT FOR EVERYONE CyclePilot is accessible from the ground up: full VoiceOver support, Dynamic Type for larger text, high-contrast colors, and haptic feedback, so planning your week stays comfortable with assistive technologies, too. PRIVACY FIRST Your ride and calendar data belong to you. CyclePilot is built for privacy, with no account required. If you sync via iCloud, your data stays in your private iCloud. The developer has no access to it. TRY IT, THEN DECIDE Try it free for 14 days. After that you decide for yourself: stay on a subscription (monthly, or the cheaper yearly plan) or own it for good with the one-time lifetime purchase, no subscription required. The trial converts to a paid subscription automatically after 14 days, but CyclePilot reminds you two days before it ends so you can decide calmly. CyclePilot is built natively for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac and fits into the Apple ecosystem you already use. Questions or requests? Write to me: CyclePilot is built by a single developer who loves riding himself and reads every piece of feedback.
