TrueLean™ measures how far your motorcycle actually leans - the real angle through a corner, not what a bubble level would show. In a steady corner, gravity and cornering force combine to point straight down the bike's own vertical axis, which is exactly why a plain accelerometer reads near zero mid-turn. TrueLean fuses gyroscope attitude with cornering physics, so the number on screen is the lean you're really carrying - accurate through transitions and steady-state alike. One tap zeroes your mount, and it works at any mount angle. A LIVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER • Big, glanceable lean gauge with zone colors and max-lean markers • Speed, distance, lean, and g-force tiles, plus a ride timer • Portrait or landscape, with an OLED-friendly dark cluster • Keeps recording with the screen off or the app in the background EVERY RIDE, SAVED • Full ride history with personal bests • Route map colored by lean angle, with your deepest-lean markers • Lean and speed timelines, g-forces, and complete stats • 0–60 mph / 0–100 km/h acceleration timing YOURS TO KEEP • Export any ride as GPX (with lean/speed) or CSV from the share sheet • Hands-free start/stop via the Action Button and Siri • Built for long rides: adapts the screen, sensors, and processing to save battery without ever dropping recording fidelity PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no third-party SDKs • Your ride data stays on your device and is never sent to us • Nothing leaves your phone unless you choose to export and share it RIDE RESPONSIBLY TrueLean is a recreational tool for reviewing your rides - not a safety device, and its readings are estimates. Mount your phone securely, set up before you move, and never interact with the app while riding. Obey the law, ride within your limits, and save record-chasing for a closed course. Requires an iPhone with a gyroscope. Designed for a rigid handlebar/fork mount.

About

Qroda

Features
Read full description

Qroda records the whole story of a motorcycle ride: GPS track, speed, lean angle, acceleration, the photos you take along the way, and the weather you set off in. Then it turns the ride into images you actually want to post. Local-first: your rides live on your iPhone and in your own iCloud, nowhere else. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking. In English, Italian and German. RECORD A map-first recording screen built for the handlebar mount, portrait or landscape, with controls sized for gloves. Speed, lean, distance and altitude at a glance, and a Live Activity keeps the ride on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so nothing needs unlocking. Calibrate the mount once with a live bubble level and lean angle is measured against your bike, not a guess. Ending a ride asks first, and if the phone dies mid-ride the next launch offers to resume it. PHOTOS, WHERE THEY HAPPENED A camera button on the recorder attaches photos to the ride in progress — silently, a count badge is the only confirmation. Every shot lands on the summary map at the kilometre you took it, the full-quality original goes to your photo library, and any photo can become a saved spot for the next time you pass. RELIVE Every ride becomes a recap: the route on a real map with your photos and spots pinned along it, elevation profile, lean chart, and records that remember the day. Replay any ride as a moving trace. Stats filter by Month, Year or All time — the charts, totals and personal records all follow — and awards collect the rides that earned them. SHARE One tap opens the share studio: a poster with the real map as the hero, a stats card, and one card per photo you pick — your headline numbers over your own shot, each photo labelled with the kilometre it was taken at. Light or dark, three formats, and an optional privacy trim that hides where you started and ended. SAVED SPOTS Drop a pin mid-ride for the viewpoint, the coffee stop, the last fuel before the pass. Spots collect on the Explore map over everywhere you've ridden, searchable and sortable by distance from you, and each opens as its own card with directions in Apple Maps, a shareable link and its coordinates. APPLE HEALTH Connect Apple Health and every ride carries your heart rate and energy, written back as a workout. The Body screen adds the trends a long day depends on: sleep before you ride, resting heart rate over 90 days, heart-rate variability against your own baseline, and blood oxygen at altitude. All read on your iPhone. BRING YOUR HISTORY Import GPX files as completed rides or as routes to follow on the recorder. AirDrop a .gpx straight into Qroda, preview what's inside, and pick the track you mean from files that carry several. Your data stays yours: export one ride as GPX or everything at once — every ride, your profile, stats, spots and photos in one zip — and erase everything in one tap, from the device and your iCloud.
