Set up your vehicle, record a ride and make a replay of the parts you want to remember. Ride solo or join friends on the map while keeping your own recording. Your personal library stays on your phone; solo recording needs no account.
This guide covers the Android test build, coming to Google Play. An iOS version is planned after the Android commercial launch. See the FAQ for availability and device requirements.
1. Add your vehicle
Open Garage and add a vehicle. Start with a name you recognize, its type and the basic details you know. You can add battery, wheel and other advanced specifications later. Leave unknown values blank instead of guessing.
Vehicle profiles describe your equipment. The app does not connect to a motor controller, read its live battery level or change vehicle settings. Energy and remaining-range estimates depend on your entries and riding conditions.
For a head start, find a starter or rider-shared vehicle profile in Community. In Garage, choose Import vehicle from JSON, select the downloaded file and review the exact model, variant and details. Choose Add vehicle to Garage. Replacing an existing setup is a separate action; check the destination before confirming.
2. Get the phone ready
Allow precise location and review the app's recording-readiness messages. Make sure location is enabled, storage is available and your phone has enough battery. Follow any guidance shown for notification or battery settings.
If you want street detail without downloading it during your ride, download a supported region in Manage maps while connected to the internet. Recording does not require you to share your location with a group.
Choose a solo ride or a group
Riding solo? Continue to Start recording below. Group accounts, safety texts and music are optional.
Riding with friends? Open Map → Group ride on a supported 64-bit Android device. Use your own Tailscale account and network connection, follow the connection and invitation steps, then create a group or request to join. Location sharing starts after the host admits a guest.
Members can see each other's current positions and status, a planned route and rally information. Start a personal recording if you want your own saved route; joining a group does not start one for you. You can leave the group later and keep that recording running.
At a rally, check who is on the way or has arrived. Use I'm here to confirm or Undo my arrival to correct it. Automatic arrival depends on recent, accurate shared positions; check their age and connection status. The FAQ explains attendance and route sharing in more detail.
Set up optional alerts before riding
Group SOS lets you ask the admitted group for help. Tap SOS · 3 taps three times within four seconds, then review and confirm Send SOS. Add a short message if useful. This does not send emergency-contact SMS. Use Group alert sounds to try the local SOS and rally sound tests before setting off; tests do not create an alert for the group.
Ride safety offers optional crash alerts and emergency-contact texts. Review phone placement and readiness, configure contacts who have agreed to receive texts, and enable automatic alerts if you want them. Adding a contact sends an introduction SMS. An enabled possible-incident countdown can request alerts to selected contacts and an eligible active group.
Detection is experimental and can miss incidents or trigger falsely. Phone settings, connectivity and recipient availability affect alerts. The app does not call emergency services or arrange rescue; keep another way to request help. Support explains cancellation, all-clear and the separate alert channels.
3. Start recording
Select your vehicle, open Ride and choose Start recording. Review phone placement and any optional battery entry. Check that recording has started before putting the phone away.
Ride shows your full statistics. Map shows your position, recorded trail and compact recording controls. Choose Full map for a larger view with quick Ride, Group and Rally panels, and Exit to return. When Follow is enabled, it keeps your position in view while retaining your zoom and bearing. Pan or inspect a rally, then choose Resume follow when ready.
Recording can continue with the screen locked, but phone settings and interruptions can affect it. Start with a short familiar route to check your own phone's behavior.
Stop somewhere safe before using the screen. Check your vehicle's own instruments and leave a practical battery reserve.
4. Finish and review
Choose Finish recording when the ride is over. In the finish sheet, review the ride name and Save my recording. If you are in a group, choose whether to leave it too. Hosts must explicitly select End group for everyone to end the shared session; other riders' personal recordings continue.
Choose only Leave group when you want to continue your personal recording. Choose only Save my recording when you want to remain in the group. Select both when you want both activities to end, and wait for the result. If one action needs attention, the other may already have succeeded. Open History to review a saved ride, inspect charts, add notes or prepare an export.
Pause pauses ride statistics and segment flow; it does not stop group sharing or all location acquisition. Leaving a group does not send an all-clear.
5. Tell the ride's story
In History, open a saved ride and choose Replay → Your ride story. Give the video a title, review suggested stops and add or name the moments you want to include.
Choose up to 12 photos, add captions and check their placement along the route or at a stop. Correct suggested positions when needed. The app saves optimized private copies without changing your originals; the FAQ explains photo placement and editing choices.
To use only part of the ride, open Replay range → Trim ride. Move the start and finish handles, review the route and choose Apply range. Preview and video statistics use the selected section. To restore the full selection, choose Reset to full ride, then Apply range. Your original recording and choices outside the range remain saved.
Use Smooth Stops to shorten waiting in the replay while retaining included stops and photos. Your original recording stays intact, and missing GPS remains a gap.
Preview your choices, select any local music you have permission to use, and create the video. A new export is needed after edits. Check the route, photos and captions before sharing—videos can reveal precise locations and personal details. Spotify audio is not used in replay exports.
6. Save a backup
Open Settings → Backup & restore → Full app data and save a backup to a location you trust. Finish recording, leave any group and resolve active safety operations first.
A full backup keeps your library and replay edits, including photos outside a trimmed replay and any saved safety contacts or message history. It is not password protected by the app, so keep it private. Keep original photos, music and exported videos separately; downloaded maps and group account access or friend pairing are not transferred.
Save a backup before changing phones or test builds. Older versions may not support newer replay settings or photo-containing backups. See Data and deletion for what remains in a backup and how to remove unwanted copies.
