Velorki: Bike Route Planner
Plan, navigate, record rides
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
New: rain radar, wind and clouds on the map, the weather along your route, and routes coloured by gradient, surface, wind or rain. Spoken turns for imported routes too.
Velorki plans bike routes, guides you along them and records your rides. Its routing is made for bikes and runs on your iPhone, offline too, and the whole app is open source. Every route is made for you: for your bike, your distance and the place you are standing right now.
PLANNING
• Tap waypoints on the map and get a route for the bike you are on: touring, road, gravel, mountain bike, or the direct way.
• Loops from your door: say how far you want to ride and, if you like, one place to pass, and Velorki proposes round trips that come back to where you started.
• Alternative routes, an elevation profile and a breakdown of the surfaces you will ride on.
• Colour the route by gradient, surface, wind or rain.
• Search places offline, save routes to your library, and download a region once to plan, search and navigate there without a connection.
MAP AND WEATHER
• A cycle map drawn from the routing data, offline: bike paths and lanes, one-way streets, steps and climbs.
• Stops on the map: water, cafés, bakeries, toilets, bike repair and more, and the ones along the route ahead.
• Rain radar, wind and clouds on the map, with a time slider into the next hours.
• The wind and rain along your route for the time you leave.
NAVIGATION
• Turn-by-turn directions with spoken cues, also with the screen locked, also for routes you import.
• Leave the route and choose what happens: a way back to it, a new route to the destination, or nothing at all.
RECORDING
• Records with the screen off, with auto-pause, and shows the ride on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
• Choose the figures you see while riding: distance, speed, time, ascent, heart rate, cadence, power, what is left of the route.
• Heart rate from Apple Watch, Bluetooth sensors and Apple Health; speed, cadence and power sensors too.
• The Velorki app on Apple Watch starts, pauses and ends the ride from your wrist.
• Each ride gets a page with its map, charts and splits.
FILES AND CONNECTIONS
• Open GPX, FIT and TCX files from Files, Mail, Safari or the share sheet; export routes and rides as GPX or FIT.
• Connect two popular route and ride platforms to upload your rides and bring your routes in. Free.
FREE, AND VELORKI PLUS
Everything the phone can do on its own is free: planning, loops, navigation, recording, the weather map, the weather along the route, offline regions, sensors, files and the connections.
Velorki Plus is a subscription for what needs our servers:
• Finer weather: radar across Europe from the national weather services, and a sharper forecast along the route.
• The assistant: describe the ride you want in a sentence and get a route, or ask it about the route on the map.
• Share links: turn a route or a ride into a link anyone can open in a browser.
Velorki Plus comes as a monthly and a yearly auto-renewing subscription; the yearly one starts with a free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and it can be managed and cancelled in your Apple Account settings. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when a subscription is purchased.

PRIVACY
There is no account and no sign-up. Routes, rides and settings stay on your iPhone. The assistant asks for your consent before any text leaves the device, and the position it sends is rounded to about a kilometre.
CONTINUED USE OF GPS
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Velorki only keeps the GPS running while a ride is being recorded or navigated.
