@kelvinbrainless Congrats on the launch! There are a lot of older apps that can track cycling data, but many don’t have the ability to generate cycling videos! I usually use a cycling data tracking app along with my DJI equipment for filming. So, I’m really excited about this video creation feature—it’s going to make things so much easier for me! And if it could eventually support linking with DJI devices, that would be even cooler! After all, phone cameras might not match the quality of dedicated filming hardware.
Congrats on the launch @kelvinbrainless! I use my phone to track my rides quite a bit but always wished I could record bits of them while doing so and this hits that! Are we able to pair the app to an external camera so we don't have to mount the phone upright? My mount is currently flesh against the bike for better dynamics and vision.
Excited to give this a try!
@gabe Thank you for your suggestion. The idea of connecting an external camera is fantastic, and I will try to add this feature.
Great app! I liked your starting point and the final product you ended up with, the price is reasonable too. Congrats on the launch! 🚀
@mlkrsrc Thanks! I'm stoked you dig why I made this app. Hope it helps you snag some sweet snapshots of daily life too.
Also, to celebrate the launch, CycleHUD is holding a promotion on the App Store with a 50% discount, which will last until August 31st.
Well, I don't do cycling on traveling 😅 but the concept is awesome. Love the work. Congrats on the Launch 🎉
@shayan_ali_bakhsh Thanks. What means of transportation do you prefer for commuting? Feel free to try recording with CycleHUD; it's not just designed for cycling :D
@kensmithadams Although there is currently no specific timeline, we will definitely support Android in the future. Thank you for your interest.
@ema_elisi Thank you. You can choose to export the original video, or combine the source video with cycling routes and data into a new video. These videos can be saved to your phone's gallery, and then shared anywhere you like.
Wow, @kelvinbrainless, CycleHUD seems like a game changer for all of us on wheels (or brooms)! 🚴♂️ The way you combined a speedometer, dash cam, and route recorder is pure genius. Can't wait to record my family rides and relive those moments! Quick question—any plans for an enhanced night mode for those evening rides? #PHLaunch #MVP
This looks like an awesome tool, @kelvinbrainless! I'm curious, how does CycleHUD differentiate itself from other cycling apps in terms of UX and features? The dash cam feature sounds particularly useful, but what kind of storage requirements are we looking at for the videos? Also, have you thought about integration with other health or tracking apps to enhance the cycling record management? Can't wait to see how others in the PH community react to this launch!
@zanereed596 Thank you. The cycling recording software available on the market seems to be made for professionals. CycleHUD will prioritize daily commutes and leisurely travels. This is especially true for families with children, who value the fun moments with their kids during the ride more than professional cycling data. As for integrating more health data, I will give it good consideration in future versions.
This looks intriguing, @kelvinbrainless! Is there a specific platform you’re targeting for the video exports? Also, how do you ensure the video quality while recording cycling routes?
@star_boat Thanks. The video sharing does not specify any platform. As for the quality of the video, it currently supports choosing between 1280p or 1920p in the app's settings, as well as whether to enable the iPhone's built-in Video Stabilization function. I will also continue to enhance the filming capabilities.
CycleHUD sounds like an amazing tool for cyclists! I'm really impressed with the blend of functionality and design you've incorporated, @kelvinbrainless. The route recording and dash
@elke_qin Thanks! I'm actually a UI designer, and this time I tried my hand at developing an app. Luckily, with the help of AI, learning SwiftUI went a lot smoother.
This sounds really interesting, @kelvinbrainless! The integration of features like a dash cam and route recording for e-bike rides could provide so much value—especially for busy parents. How do you envision balancing the speedometer and navigation features for those who might be distracted while riding? Also, can you elaborate on the types of export options available for the videos? This could really enhance our cycling experiences!
@dance17219 Thank you. CycleHUD currently only supports basic navigation features because the initial design intention was to record daily travel, and most of the time, we are familiar with the routes. As for the issue of distraction, I've also tried to use large contrasts and more dark areas in the design to minimize distraction for the rider. The recorded videos can be directly exported to the phone's album, or you can choose segments to compile with the riding data, creating a new video to save. Currently, all videos are saved in the mov format to the album.
Wow, CycleHUD sounds like a game-changer for cyclists! Excited to see the unique features, especially the video clips export. Great job @kelvinbrainless on combining fun and functionality! Upvoted!
@marygarcia Thank you. Besides cycling, CycleHUD is also suitable for recording videos while rowing, riding scooters, and other forms of transportation. In fact, some users even use CycleHUD as a secondary screen for their Model 3.
This cycle recorder sounds really innovative, especially the dash cam feature for capturing those scenic rides. I’m curious about the battery life while using the speedometer and recording simultaneously. Also, how user-friendly is the interface when switching between video and map mode? Excited to see how this can enhance my cycling experience! Great job, @kelvinbrainless!
@antoine_gauthier_ Thank you. Currently, on the iPhone 15 Pro, recording a 5-minute video with CycleHUD will consume about 1-3% of battery life.
There are four dashboards in the app, one of which does not take video when recording the route. This is design for long-distance recording.
When I usually use my e-bike, I also connect my phone to the e-bike's power to use CycleHUD.
Of course, I will also try my best to make it more energy-efficient.
Congrats on launching CycleHUD! It’s impressive how you've turned your daily bike rides into something so interactive and useful. The idea of combining a fun dashboard with route recording and a dash cam is really innovative. How has CycleHUD changed your rides with your child, and what’s been your favorite feature to use? Looking forward to seeing how this enhances the cycling experience for others too.
Cycle HUD looks amazing with its rich , interactive dashboards . Can't wait to try it out !
This is incredibly exciting! 🎯 CycleHUD is setting the bar high for live tracking in cycling competitions. The real-time data collection and visualization will be a game changer, especially for pro teams looking to optimize their performance. 🚴♂️ Any plans to integrate with wearable tech for even deeper insights? Keep up the fantastic work!
The combination of speedometer and dash cam functionalities could really enhance biking experiences. Adding an option to share videos directly to social media could be a nice touch.
