Features
A complete tour of what STRyde can do. Every capability below works on the device itself — recording, maps, history and stats never require a connection.
Activity Recording
The core of STRyde. Start a session and STRyde captures your route with high accuracy.
- Offline GPS recording. Tracks are recorded and stored locally, with background capture so recording continues while the screen is off or you use other apps.
- Cockpit-style dashboard. A legacy-inspired recording dashboard shows your live metrics (speed, distance, duration and more) at a glance, with a customisable layout.
- GPS jump filtering. Erratic GPS points are filtered out so your distance and speed stay realistic.
- Sport presets. Pick your discipline from a list of sport presets. Your last-used sport is remembered and restored the next time you record.
- Discipline-aware units. Speed and pace are shown in the units that make sense for the selected sport, instead of a raw generic value.
- Voice feedback. Optional spoken (text-to-speech) announcements keep you informed of your progress hands-free while you train.
- Keep or discard short activities. When you stop an insignificant activity, STRyde asks whether to keep or discard it, so your history stays clean.
- Post-recording summary. A summary banner recaps your session as soon as you finish.
Maps
- Mapbox 3D maps. Explore your routes on rich, interactive 3D maps.
- Custom outdoor map style. A tailored outdoor / dark map style built for legibility on the trail.
- Start & finish markers. Every route clearly marks where you started and where you arrived.
- Offline route thumbnails. Route shapes are drawn locally, so history thumbnails render even with no connection.
- Auto-fit routes. Maps fit the whole route on load and when toggling between 2D and 3D.
History
- Activity history list. All your recorded activities in one place, with Komoot-style cards showing the sport, key metrics and a route thumbnail.
- Interactive activity detail. Open any activity to see its full map plus an interactive elevation / speed profile chart.
- Ghost replay. Replay a recorded route and watch your track animate along the profile.
- Rename activities. Give activities meaningful names.
- Per-account activity numbering. Activities are numbered per account for easy reference.
- Overflow actions. Quick per-activity actions (rename, delete and more) from a compact overflow menu.
