Velorific is a nutrition and training tracker built for cyclists, runners, triathletes, and anyone whose eating target should change with how hard they worked out today. WORKOUT-ADAPTIVE CALORIES Your daily calorie target isn't static. Velorific reads your workout activity, classifies each day as rest, easy, moderate, hard, or very hard, and adjusts your deficit accordingly. Ride easy - hold the deficit. Ride very hard - deficit waives, fuel the session. No more fighting hunger on big days or overeating on rest days. RECOVERY-DAY PROTECTION After a hard session, Velorific looks back at the last two days of training load. A rest day that follows an 80+ effort waives the deficit entirely. A 60+ effort halves it. Recovery is critical. MACROS THAT TRACK YOUR TRAINING Protein target holds steady at your set value. Carb budget scales up on hard days and down on rest days, derived from your calorie target and protein/fat floors. Fat stays put so macros always balance. INTEGRATIONS - Strava: workouts import automatically. Manual sync on demand. - TrainingPeaks: planned sessions surface as a banner so you can pre-fuel. - AI meal estimate: describe a meal in plain English, get calories and macros back. LOGGING THAT DOESN'T GET IN THE WAY - Favourites for meals you eat every day. - Weight log with trend detection — the app adjusts your deficit by ±25 to ±50 kcal when your actual weekly loss deviates from target. - Clean, native iOS design. No ads, no cross-app tracking, no nutrient database to pay extra for. SAFETY A minimum intake floor (1,400 kcal or 70% of your base metabolic rate) prevents the app from ever recommending a dangerously low target, regardless of your deficit setting. NOT MEDICAL ADVICE Velorific is an informational tool, not a substitute for advice from a doctor, dietitian, or coach. Consult a qualified professional before making significant changes to your diet or training. Not intended for anyone with a history of disordered eating. REQUIREMENTS iOS 17 or later. Works with your existing Strava and TrainingPeaks accounts.

Unlock Earth turns your real GPS activities into a permanent collection of places you've actually moved through. Connect Strava once. From then on, every qualifying run, ride, hike or ski is automatically checked against real municipality boundaries — sourced from official government and international open-data providers, not approximations. Cover enough distance inside a municipality's real boundary in one activity, and it's yours: permanently unlocked, even if you later delete the activity from Strava. HOW IT WORKS • Connect your Strava account — no manual map or import steps, ever. • Your history syncs automatically, including in the background while the app is closed. • Meet the distance rule inside a real boundary, and that place unlocks for good. • Be the first person ever to unlock a municipality, and claim a World First. WHAT YOU GET • A permanent, personal collection of every place you've earned • Dozens of achievements, from your first unlock to conquering an entire country • Real municipality boundaries, independently verified against authoritative sources — not guesses • Full support for running, hiking, cycling, gravel, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and backcountry skiing COVERAGE More than 150 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and Oceania, including the USA (county level, the only US tier with complete, gap-free coverage), Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. Some boundary sets are older or coarser, and a few countries (for example India, China and Russia) are not available yet. The Coverage screen in the app lists every country, its status and the reason. PRIVACY Unlock Earth never sells your data. Your GPS routes are used only to determine what you've unlocked. Delete your account and all your data, permanently, any time from the app.
