About Roveri
Roveri is a private iOS riding journal that turns the rides you already take into a season worth re-opening.
What Roveri is
Roveri is a journaling app for iPhone that records the route, speed, elevation, and weather of every ride you start. It runs on your device, using Apple’s own location and weather services, and each ride is saved to your own private iCloud. There is no account to create, no advertising, and the only data collected is anonymous, non-identifying usage analytics. Over time, rides aggregate into a season and a year: you can filter by route, weather, or time of day, re-open any ride from months ago, and — with Roveri Pro — step into the Climate Studio to see the actual weather conditions you rode through across every ride. Roveri is a journal, not a navigator: it does not plan routes or give directions.
How a ride is recorded
You start a ride with one tap on the Roveri home screen. From that moment, Roveri captures live data — your GPS route, real-time speed, and elevation. When you arrive, you tap once to end the ride, and Roveri enriches it with the weather: up to eight samples taken along the route from Apple’s WeatherKit. The ride is saved to your history with everything captured — the painted route on a map, distance and moving time, top speed and total climb, and the weather you rode through. A pause draws no straight line across the map, and paused time is left out of the moving total. Your rides stay yours — recorded on your iPhone and synced through your own iCloud — and nothing is shared unless you choose to share it.
What’s free, and what Roveri Pro adds
Roveri is free to download, and the core journal is free to use: recording a ride, your full ride history, the ride detail with its painted-route map, and per-ride stats. The shareable ride card is free too — it carries the weather you rode through and the Roveri wordmark, and you can share any ride over its map or your own photo. Roveri Pro is an optional subscription with a free trial. It adds the Climate Studio, per-ride depth (an elevation profile, the climate along your route, and GPX export), and Where to ride, which rates nearby destinations by their hour-by-hour riding weather across a bundled 33,817-city dataset.
Who Roveri is built for
Roveri is built for riders and journal-keepers — people who take rides by choice, not by routine. It is for the rides that are worth remembering: a weekend route through a mountain pass, the first warm Saturday in March, a coastal ride at sunset. Roveri exists so those rides become a real record you can re-open in December and recognize, rather than disappearing into a scroll of generic activity entries.
Privacy posture
Roveri is local-first. Your ride data lives on your device and in your own iCloud account, synced across your devices through Apple’s CloudKit. There are no advertising trackers, and product analytics are anonymous and never linked to your identity. If you uninstall Roveri, your iCloud copy remains yours; reinstall later, and your rides are still there. Privacy here is a consequence of the architecture, not a marketing headline.
Built on
Roveri is a native iOS app. It is built for iOS 18.6 or later with SwiftUI, SwiftData, and CloudKit — Apple’s own modern frameworks for data, sync, and rendering. No Electron, no React Native, no web view. It uses Apple’s location services for ride capture and Apple’s WeatherKit for the weather attached to each ride, with iCloud as your own sync layer. Roveri was released on the App Store in May 2026.
Frequently asked
How is Roveri different from Strava or other ride-tracking apps? Roveri is journal-first and private by default. It is built around your own record of every ride, designed to be opened weeks or months later rather than pushed at you in real time, and it needs no account to record. It is a journal, not a navigator — it does not plan routes.
What does Roveri do best? It records the rides you take by choice and keeps them — the route, the numbers, and the weather — as a season you can look back on. Roveri is an iPhone app; it records on iOS 18.6 or later.
Where do I get Roveri? Roveri is available on the App Store. The free tier requires no account, no email, and no signup — install and start riding.
