New in 2.0: describe the ride you want and Rittiers builds it. Plus Free Ride recording, cobbled-sector ratings and a redesigned route library. Rittiers turns a GPX file into something you can actually ride. Import a route and Rittiers reads the road beneath it: every climb, every cobbled sector, every stretch of gravel. Then it puts that on your handlebars, your wrist, and your Lock Screen. YOUR ROUTE LIBRARY Import from Files or iCloud, or bring in rides you have already done from Apple Health. Organise everything into folders, switch between a list and a gallery of route thumbnails, and select several at once to move or tidy up. Search finds any route instantly, and Spotlight finds them from outside the app. CLIMBS, RATED Climbs are detected automatically and scored with FIETS ratings, so you know what you are in for before you turn the pedals. Grade colours run along the elevation profile, each climb gets its own chart, and tapping one on the map shows exactly where it starts and how hard it bites. COBBLES AND SURFACES Cobbled sectors are called out as first-class sections and rated for roughness. Routes are matched against the real road network, so you get the gravel percentage up front and surface markings along the line — no more discovering the farm track at kilometre 60. DESCRIBE A RIDE, GET A ROUTE Ask for what you want in plain language — a distance, a loop, somewhere to end up — and Rittiers builds a real route from actual roads, taking the weather into account. Change it the same way: add a stop, make it longer, make it shorter, or send it home. Nothing is overwritten, so the route you imported stays exactly as it was. EDIT WITHOUT FEAR Rename, reverse, crop, move the start or finish, or merge two routes together, all with live statistics as you work and a gap check when the ends do not quite meet. Every edit can be saved as a copy. RIDE IT Tracking shows swipeable ride cards that change with what you are doing: distance and pace, the climb you are on, the turn that is coming, what is left. A Live Activity keeps it on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Crossing points where the route doubles back are marked with direction arrows, so you know which way you are meant to be going. FREE RIDE No route, no problem. Record as you go, watch the line draw itself behind you, and save the whole thing as a route when you get home. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app is a real one, not a remote control. Climbs and cobbles with live distances, an always-on ride card, turn markers on the map, Take me home when you have had enough, and route generation without reaching for your phone. WIDGETS AND COMPLICATIONS Last Route and Top Pinned on the Home Screen and on your watch face. EVERYWHERE iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro and Apple TV. Routes, folders and settings sync through iCloud, so your activity type, home location and units follow you between devices. GPX files preview in Finder and Quick Look without opening the app.

Awesome idea on Vision Pro, but needs key basics and deeper analytics

★★★★☆ 4/5Rittiers is a really cool concept, especially on Apple Vision Pro. Being able to visualize a route in your physical space gives you a better sense of scale for climbs and turns before you go outside, and the app already supports importing workouts, GPX routes, and viewing elevation profiles. That said, there’s plenty of room for improvement.Biggest issue: there’s no option to switch kilometers to miles. For a lot of U.S. users, that’s a simple setting that should be available.What would make it amazing: I’d love an “elevation playback” mode where you scrub along the elevation graph and it follows a dot along the route, while showing how metrics change, like heart rate, speed, and pace when you’re climbing or descending. Other route platforms already do this style of interactive elevation tracing (tap and drag the elevation profile and a dot tracks the corresponding point on the route), and it’s super helpful for understanding effort. Overall, it’s a nice app with a lot of potential, and the Vision Pro angle is genuinely fun and useful. It just needs a few core quality-of-life settings and more analytics to feel complete.

Rittiers 2.0 is the biggest update yet. GENERATE ROUTES WITH AI Describe the ride you want and get a real route back, built from actual roads and aware of the weather. Edit it in plain language too: add a stop, extend it, shorten it, or send it home. FREE RIDE Record a ride without a planned route, then save it as a route when you are done. CLIMBS AND COBBLES Climbs are detected automatically with FIETS ratings and grade colours, and cobbled sectors are rated for roughness. Both appear in route order with their own elevation charts. KNOW THE SURFACE Routes are matched to the real road network: gravel percentage, surface markings along the line, and turn guidance while you ride. REDESIGNED LIBRARY A new routes screen with folders, gallery view and multi-select. REDESIGNED TRACKING Swipeable ride cards, upcoming-turn badges, live climb progress, and a Live Activity that follows what you are doing. APPLE WATCH Climbs and cobbles on your wrist, an always-on ride card, turn markers on the map, Take me home, and route generation from the watch. WIDGETS AND COMPLICATIONS Last Route and Top Pinned on iPhone and Apple Watch. SETTINGS THAT FOLLOW YOU Activity type, home location and units now sync across your devices via iCloud.
