Should you ride
right now?

IsoRide is the cycling weather app I always wished existed. Minute-precision rain timing, comfort scoring tuned for cyclists, and a safe-window countdown that tells you exactly how long you have before the first drops.

  • Apple WeatherKit
  • No tracking
  • No accounts

Generic weather apps tell you what's happening to everyone.
IsoRide tells you what's happening to your ride.

Commute Today

Knows whether to leave early or skip.

IsoRide compares your morning and evening ride hours and tells you which window is worse — and what to do about it. No more checking the weather three times a day to figure out whether to bike or take the train.

  • Lead with temp, not abstract scores. "PM rainier — ride AM" beats "92 / 67."
  • Limiting-factor pill at a glance — rain, wind, heat, fog.
  • Smart rules: skips the insight when both windows are similar.

Safe-window countdown

Your ride window, live on your lock screen.

IsoRide's Live Activity puts the verdict + safe window minutes front-and-centre — verdict colour-coded, minutes counting down, shelter ETA right there. Pulled from Apple WeatherKit's minute-by-minute precipitation data. You glance, you don't unlock.

  • Verdict at a glance: RIDE NOW, caution, delay, or skip.
  • Shelter status — SAFE / unsafe, distance, walk time — visible without opening the app.
  • Dynamic Island compact view stays alive while you're in other apps.
  • Tiered detection rejects single-minute false-positive spikes.
Ride Planner

Ten days of cycling outlook, scanned in two seconds.

A horizontal row of color-coded day dots tells you which days are ride-now and which are skip-it. Tap any day for the full breakdown — best window, temp range, max wind, peak precip.

  • Hazard badges flag overnight rain and lightning at a glance.
  • Best-window hour picked from the comfort algorithm.
  • Auto-localised time zones — Sydney mornings stay Sydney mornings.
Themes

Three palettes.
Pick the one that's you.

Every surface rewrites itself when you switch — gradients, cards, accents all retuned together. Light and dark variants for each, with system-follow as the default.

Velvet Dusk Rich violet · sundown
Ride Style

Tuned to how you ride.

Five quick onboarding questions pin the comfort algorithm to your preferences — temperature target, wind sensitivity, AQI tolerance, UV warnings, and what you'd do if you didn't ride. Change any of them in Settings, anytime.

  • "Prefer cool" gets warned at 78°F. "Love it hot" has a higher ceiling.
  • Wind sensitivity shifts the no-penalty ceiling from 13mph to 23mph.
  • Fallback profile (drive vs. transit vs. WFH) tightens or loosens the algorithm.
Calendar Sync

Your 10-day outlook, in your calendar.

Toggle Calendar Sync once and IsoRide quietly publishes your rideability to Apple Calendar — every day shows the verdict and best window. Plan your week without opening the app.

…lands on every Apple Calendar you own.

Route Weather

Conditions where you're going, not just where you are.

Set a shelter location and IsoRide samples the weather at three points along the route — here, midpoint, and shelter — so you know exactly what you're riding into.

  • Visible only when you've set a shelter — no clutter otherwise.
  • Pairs with Commute Today; both gated together.
  • Pin favourite shelter spots for one-tap setup.

Privacy

No accounts. No tracking.
No analytics SDK.

IsoRide sends your coarse coordinates to Apple WeatherKit to fetch local conditions, and that's it. Nothing about you is logged, profiled, or sold. There are no user accounts, no registration, no email asks, no third-party analytics, no advertising identifiers, no cross-app tracking.

What we collect

Your approximate coordinates, used in real time to fetch the local forecast. Never stored.

What we don't

No accounts. No analytics SDKs. No advertising IDs. No usage logs. No cross-app tracking.

Diagnostic data

Apple's MetricKit captures crash + perf data on-device. Stays there until you tap "Share" in Settings.

Made by a cyclist

One designer. One engineer. One bike.

IsoRide is built by Paul Buczkowski, a designer-turned-engineer tired of getting drenched halfway home. No team, no investors, no analytics dashboard somewhere watching what you do — just an iOS app, made by someone who actually rides.
