Qroda recording a ride toward Passo Sella: 63 km/h, 26 degrees of lean, the route drawn on the map above Selva di Val Gardena
What it records

Five signals, one story.

Qroda reads your phone's GPS and motion sensors at ride cadence, and stamps the ride with the weather you actually set off in.

GPS track

Full route with elevation profile and climb, drawn as a clean line you can replay start to finish.

Speed

Live, average and top speed, with season records that remember the day your fastest run happened.

Lean angle

Left and right lean from the motion sensors, measured against a mount calibration you do once, with a lean chart per ride. The number riders ask about first.

Acceleration

Braking and drive force in g, so you can see where the ride got serious.

Weather on the record

The air temperature at ride start, from Apple Weather, stamped onto the ride, the replay and the share card. Proof it was 2° and you went anyway.

Bring your history: GPX import

Drop in a GPX file and Qroda shows you what is inside before asking the right question: is this a completed ride, or a route to follow? Files with several tracks let you pick the one you mean, Garmin routes keep their road shape, finished tracks join your history with their name and elevation intact, and planned routes draw a follow-the-line overlay on the recorder.

New in 1.4

Built for the moments around the ride.

The parts of a recorder that go wrong in gloves, on a side stand, or when the phone dies at kilometre 140. Qroda 1.4 spent its time there.

Mount & calibrate, once

Before your first mounted ride, a live bubble level learns which way is upright on your bike. The baseline is saved, every later ride starts straight away, and Recalibrate mount lives in Settings for the day you move the clamp.

End ride asks first

A brushed screen can’t throw away an hour. Ending a ride opens a sheet that keeps recording while you decide, shows what the ride is worth so far, and puts Keep riding where the thumb lands.

The ride survives the phone

Every 30 seconds the recording is checkpointed. If the battery dies or iOS reclaims the app on a long day, the next launch offers to resume the ride, save it as it stands, or let it go.

Inside the app

The recap you’ll want to reread.

End a ride and the whole story is waiting: the route on a real map with elevation and lean charts, records that remember the day, and a season view with a map of everywhere you’ve ridden. All of it below is real, from the Dolomites tours in this page’s screenshots.

Ride photos

Shoot it where it happened.

A camera button on the recorder attaches photos to the ride in progress — silently, a count badge is the only confirmation a gloved tap needs. Every shot lands on the live map as you ride and 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.

Saved spots

The viewpoint, the coffee stop, the last fuel before the pass.

Drop a pin mid-ride with one gloved tap. Every spot collects on the Explore map, searchable, sorted by newest or nearest, and now opens as its own card: directions in Apple Maps, a link to share the place, how far into the ride you saved it, and the coordinates for anything else.

The point of it all

Rides that look as good as they felt.

Every ride becomes a set of cards worth posting: the poster with the real map as the hero, a stats ledger, and one card per photo you pick — light or dark, three formats, no watermark clutter. These two posters are a genuine Passo Pordoi → Gardena → Sella run, straight out of the app.

The share studio

Your numbers, on your photos.

Pick photos straight from the ride — each labelled with the kilometre it was shot at and plotted on a strip of the track — and every pick becomes its own card: the ride’s headline numbers over your photo, with stats you can reposition or hide per card.

Apple Health

The body that did the riding.

Connect Apple Health and every ride carries your heart rate and energy. The Body screen adds the trends a long day on the bike depends on, read on your iPhone and never sent anywhere.

  • Sleep before you ride, against your own recent nights.
  • Resting heart rate as a 90-day trend, and heart-rate variability this week against a two-month baseline.
  • Blood oxygen at altitude, matched to the highest point of the ride.
  • Each ride written back to Health as a workout. Reads stay on the device; Qroda has no server to send them to.

Live Activity

Your numbers, without unlocking.

Qroda runs as a Live Activity on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, so speed, lean and elapsed time stay one glance away, gloves on.

  • Speed, lean, distance and altitude updating live on the lock screen.
  • Compact Dynamic Island keeps the timer visible in any app.
  • Long-press for the expanded view with the full stat row.
  • Starts and ends with the ride, so there is nothing extra to manage. When a ride finishes in the background, one notification, made on your iPhone, opens the recap.

Terms of Service

These terms cover your use of the Qroda iPhone app and this website, operated from qroda.lucavallin.com. The app itself is licensed under Apple's standard Licensed Application EULA; the terms below add what actually matters for a ride recorder.

Riding comes first

Qroda is a recording tool, not a riding aid. Do not interact with your phone while riding. Mount your device securely, start the recording before you move off, and keep your attention on the road. You are solely responsible for riding safely and legally.

Recorded data is not evidence

Speed, lean angle, acceleration, elevation and location are estimates derived from consumer phone sensors. They carry error, they can drift, and they are not calibrated instruments. Do not rely on them for anything that matters legally, mechanically or medically.

Public roads

Qroda records what you ride. It does not encourage you to break speed limits or ride beyond your ability. Share cards showing illegal speeds are your responsibility to publish, not ours.

Your data

Your rides, tracks and share cards are yours. They live on your device and, if you use iCloud, in your own iCloud private database. Qroda has no accounts and no servers, and we take no licence over your content. You can export rides as share cards and erase everything from Settings at any time.

Availability and changes

Qroda is free and provided as is, without warranty of any kind. Features may change, and these terms may be updated; material changes will be announced in the app before they take effect. To the extent the law allows, we accept no liability for damage arising from use of the app. The mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence are unaffected by these terms.

Privacy Policy

Qroda records where and how you ride, which is sensitive information. This policy is short because the design is simple: your rides stay yours, on your devices.

What we collect

Nothing, on our side. Qroda has no accounts, no sign-in, and no servers of ours. We cannot see your rides, your location, or your name.

What stays on your device, and in your iCloud

  • Ride data (GPS track, speed, lean angle, acceleration, elevation, timestamps, the air temperature at ride start, the photos you attach and the spots you save) is stored on your iPhone.
  • If your device is signed into iCloud, rides, your rider profile and planned routes sync to your own iCloud private database, under your Apple ID, covered by Apple's iCloud terms. We have no access to it.
  • If you choose a check-in contact (Settings), their name and phone number are stored on your iPhone only, never sent anywhere by Qroda, and removed by Erase all data. When you start a ride, Qroda hands that number and your starting coordinates to Messages as a draft you can edit or discard; Messages, not Qroda, sends anything.
  • Erase all data (Settings) deletes everything from the device and from your iCloud.

Location

Qroda asks for location access, including background location while a ride is recording, because a ride cannot be tracked otherwise. Recording only runs when you start it, iOS shows an indicator while it does, and the Live Activity keeps it visible. You can revoke the permission at any time in iOS Settings.

Motion sensors

Lean angle and the mount calibration use the phone’s motion sensors, read on the device while a ride is recording or while you calibrate. The calibration baseline is a single stored value on your iPhone.

Apple Health

If you connect Apple Health, Qroda reads heart rate, active energy, sleep, resting heart rate, heart-rate variability and blood oxygen on your device to show them beside your rides, and writes each ride back to Health as a workout. Health data never leaves your iPhone; iOS lets you revoke any of it in the Health app at any time. We cannot see whether you granted access.

Photos

Photos you take from the recorder are saved to your photo library with add-only permission; Qroda never reads your library. Photos you pick for a ride or a share card are the only ones the app receives.

Notifications

The one notification Qroda can send, that a ride finished saving in the background, is created on your iPhone. There is no push server. It is optional and off until you allow it.

Weather

The air temperature shown on a ride comes from Apple's WeatherKit, queried by the app on your device as a system service. We do not operate or see those requests.

Diagnostics

Crash and performance diagnostics use Apple's on-device MetricKit and the system log. They stay on your device unless you choose to share analytics with Apple through iOS settings; nothing is sent to us.

Sharing

Every ride is private until you export a share card yourself. The optional "Hide start and end" toggle trims the route's endpoints from the exported image so it doesn't pinpoint where you live.

This website

qroda.lucavallin.com is a static page. It sets no cookies and runs no analytics or trackers. It is served by Vercel, whose infrastructure keeps standard, short-lived access logs (such as IP address and browser type) to deliver and secure the site. We don't use them to identify anyone.

Your rights

Privacy laws such as the GDPR give you rights over data an organisation holds about you. We hold none, so there is nothing for us to access, correct, export, or restrict. Those controls live in the app itself: your rides are on your device, exports are yours to make, and Erase all data (Settings) removes everything from the device and your iCloud. If you believe we do hold something about you, write to us and we'll answer.

Children

Qroda is not intended for anyone under 16.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the app will say so before the change applies.
