Add virtual shifting and control Zwift, MyWhoosh, Rouvy and more with your Zwift Click, Play, Ride, Shimano Di2 or smart trainer. With BikeControl (formerly SwiftControl) you can control your favorite trainer app using your hardware click devices. Here's what you can do with it, depending on your configuration: ▶ Virtual Gear shifting ▶ Steering / turning ▶ Adjust workout intensity ▶ Control music on your device ▶ More? If you can do it via keyboard, mouse or touch, you can do it with BikeControl Privacy and Security: ▶ BikeControl only accesses your screen to perform the gestures you configure ▶ No other accessibility features or personal information is accessed ▶ All gesture configurations remain on your device ▶ The app does not connect to external services for accessibility functions Terms of use: https://bikecontrol.app/terms-of-use

Lots of potential

I found this app because I wanted to use my Di2 shifters to control Zwift. Virtual shifting, ride-on bombs, power-ups, look behind, etc. And it does do these things, essentially turning an old iOS device into a virtual Zwift Click device over the network, bit it's very quirky. For example, if your iOS hub device goes to sleep while the app is running, you'll lose the connection and simply turning your hub device back on, while Zwift may find the connection again, will not actually reconnect you. The app needs to be closed and re-opened, and the connection re-established, and then it'll work again. So make sure your hub device don't go to sleep on you (disable auto-lock feature). I also experience similar issues if I start the app and it tries to connect before I start Zwift on my main iOS device (to be clear, I'm running BikeControl on one iOS device and Zwift on another). Unless I first start Zwift and then the app, I won't get a connection. So don't rely on this for virtual shifting... You'll likely be hosed otherwise, or miss the start of your event trying to get things connected. I'm also seeing that while Garmin Edge devices, for example, support single, double, and long clicks of Di2 D-FLY channels, the app only supports a single or long click per action, which means only 4 actions are assignable, for 4 channels, which means I have to reconfigure 2 levers to be D-FLY channels instead of having 6 gestures via the 2 top buttons, leaving my levers untouched. And finally, the look behind camera action isn't available for some reason. I'd still give it 4 stars in spite of the D-FLY shortcomings, but the quirkiness brings it down a notch. I'm very excited for the app's potential, though. I'm hoping for more improvements to come! Thank you for making it!

Thank you for your thorough feedback! I released 4.7.3 which should fix the "don't let your device go to sleep" issue.Unfortunately it indeed seems that Zwift does not want to reconnect, even though BikeControl is available, again. I'll see that can be done here!Regarding the D-Fly channels: unfortunately the Bluetooth part of the D-Fly channels only expose single clicks, and long clicks cannot be determined. But what can be done is "double clicks" - I'll investigate!

Happy to help using the in app support. Bluetooth option does not exist when you select "Same device". iOS (and any device in general) cannot connect to "themselves" via Bluetooth.

I previously rated this app 3 stars. A new version has since been released and it feels more reliable. I was able to complete a couple of rides using virtual shifting on Zwift using my Di2 levers, and power-ups and ride-on bombs with my Di2 buttons (on the tops). The app also stayed connected to Zwift even with the screen off on my iOS device. I also greatly appreciated the Developer’s response to my previous feedback! Now if only the app could handle long-presses and double-presses for additional functions with very limited Di2 D-FLY channels…

I started using this app about in Nov 2025 to enable my Di2 shifters on Rouvy for virtual shifting (previously used the Swift Click v1). After I got it set up (with a little help from Jonas) it work like a charm. What a difference it made to my racing experience. No more awkward clicking on the Zwift Click. Since then the app has gone through many updates adding many features. The support is fantastic! I’m using a Mac and every now and then a Mac OS update will cause a hiccup and all I do is send an email and it’s fixed. Great response time. I was more then happy to upgraded to the pro subscription to support development. Love this app and support.

**Features**: - WiFi enabled Smart Trainers are now supported - Zwift Click V2: the new unlock handling is now available to everyone. A new "Use new unlock method" setting lets you switch back to the classic single controller at any time. - To conserve battery, Bluetooth Controllers are disconnected after a few minutes when BikeControl is no longer connected to your trainer app (e.g. training session ended)
