Watch & learn
See it.
Then ride it.
Short demonstrations, useful controls and clear steps. Choose a guide, pause when you need to, and set up while stopped.
App demos use sample rides. Each guide includes written steps and a short note about the footage. Maps © OpenStreetMap contributors.

Record your first ride
- Add a vehicle name and type in Garage. You can fill in optional specifications later.
- While stopped, select your vehicle, check location readiness and start recording.
- Use the dashboard for speed, distance and time. Expand the live map, browse the route or return to Follow.
- When you finish, save your recording to review it in your personal ride library.
About this demonstration
Actual app recording with a prepared demo ride. Positions and statistics are demonstration data, not an outdoor performance test.

Keep the group in view
- Set up your Tailscale account and connection before riding. The free Personal plan is available for eligible personal use; check the current plan limits.
- Host a group or request to join one. Sharing begins after admission by the host.
- Use the shared map to see rider positions, the route and rally points. Check position freshness before relying on the map.
- Join or leave a group while your personal recording continues. Leaving a group and saving a recording are separate choices.
- For rally arrival, Group SOS and Finish options, use the guides below and the group ride FAQ.
About this demonstration

Start simple in Garage
- For a quick start, add a name and vehicle type. You do not need every specification to record a ride.
- For a head start, find your exact model and variant among the vehicle profiles in Community and download its JSON.
- In Garage, choose Import vehicle from JSON. Review the preview before adding the vehicle.
- Keep unknown values blank. Basic is the starting view; Advanced provides optional specifications for riders who want more detail.
About this demonstration
Illustrated sequence using actual 0.14.1 app screens and sample data. It shows Garage views rather than a continuous import recording; written steps describe the current import workflow.

Bring the route back to life
- Open a saved ride and its replay tools.
- Choose the section you want, review the presentation and set the video length.
- Create the video and wait for rendering to finish. This example shows the exported result.
- Review locations, endpoints and any personal details before saving or sharing. Create a fresh export after changing a replay.
About this demonstration
Video generated by the app replay renderer from a prepared demo route with a street basemap. Demonstration data; not a recording of a real rider.

Choose the best part of the ride
- Open a saved ride’s replay editor. Under Replay range, choose Trim ride, or Adjust if a range is already selected.
- Drag the start and finish handles and review the route preview. Choose Apply range; the video’s route and statistics describe that section.
- Review Smooth Stops to shorten incidental waiting while keeping included stops and photos. It starts on for new edits; existing saved edits retain their earlier pacing.
- Choose Reset to full ride, then Apply range to restore the whole route. Your original recording and moments outside the selected range are kept.
- Preview and export a fresh video. Trimming a replay does not remove locations from the saved ride, other exports or backups.

Tell the ride’s story
- Give the replay video its own title.
- Review suggested stops, edit their names or add a stop. Suggestions need your judgment; a GPS gap is not a visit.
- Choose up to 12 photos, add captions and place them along the route or at a stop. Review any suggested placement.
- Choose the replay’s start and finish, review Smooth Stops, then preview the story.
- Create a fresh video to apply your edits. Check names, photos and locations before sharing.

Meet up. Finish on your terms.
- Expand the live map while keeping ride statistics in view. Full map is also available in the group toolbar; return to Follow after browsing.
- Open Rally to check the arrival roster. Recent, accurate slow positions can mark arrival; use I’m here or Undo my arrival when needed.
- In Finish, choose whether to save the recording and leave or end the group. Hosts must explicitly choose to end the group for everyone.
- Review the completion result. Saving alone keeps group sharing active. Leaving the group can also be done while your personal recording continues.

Understand your alerts.
Group SOS is a deliberate alert to admitted riders. Optional experimental crash detection can attempt an emergency-contact SMS after an alarm countdown. They have different setup and delivery requirements.
