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. When rain is already falling it flips to RAIN NOW, and when it's too hot, cold, or windy it says so instead of a hollow "Clear."
- 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.
A living sky.
The dashboard now moves with your real conditions. Sun, clouds, rain, snow, fog, and storms, day and night. You feel the weather before you read a single number.
Tap a condition to hold it. The sky renders in light and dark, on top of every theme, and you can turn the animation off in Settings.
Free forever. Pro when you're ready.
The daily verdict and every metric card are free. The features that level up your week (planner, calendar sync, route weather, full notifications) unlock with IsoRide Pro: yearly with a 7-day free trial, monthly, or a one-time Lifetime purchase.

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. "Back rainier, pack a shell" beats "92 / 67."
- Limiting-factor pill at a glance, rain, wind, heat, fog.
- Smart rules: skips the insight when both windows are similar.
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 + safe-window minutes are free for everyone.
- Pro adds shelter status (SAFE / unsafe), shelter distance, and 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.
- RAIN NOW, when it's already falling, the countdown flips to RAIN NOW / SNOW NOW / SLEET NOW / ICE NOW with an "eases in ~N min" estimate.
- Says why it's a no, TOO HOT / TOO COLD / TOO WINDY / POOR AIR replaces a contradictory "Clear" when a hard limit blocks the ride.
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 your comfort score.
- Auto-localised time zones, Sydney mornings stay Sydney mornings.
Your verdict, right on your home screen.
Pin IsoRide where you already look. The home-screen widget shows the verdict and safe window at a glance, and a lock-screen accessory puts your safe-window minutes on the Lock Screen, no app to open.
- Home-screen and lock-screen widgets are free.
- Pro adds Commute Today and the 10-day Planner as home-screen widgets.
- Updates quietly in the background as conditions change.
- Says why it's a no, the status slot shows TOO HOT / TOO COLD / TOO WINDY / POOR AIR instead of "Clear".
Four 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. Azure Horizon is free for everyone; Ocean Current, Velvet Dusk, and Vanta unlock with Pro.
Tuned to how you ride.
Five quick onboarding questions pin your comfort score to your preferences, temperature comfort, wind sensitivity, air quality concern, UV warnings, and what you'd do if you don't ride. Change any of them in Settings, anytime.
- "Prefer cool" targets a ~70°F sweet spot. "Love it hot" targets ~82°F.
- Wind sensitivity shifts the no-penalty ceiling from ~12mph to ~25mph.
- Fallback profile (drive vs. transit vs. WFH) tightens or loosens the recommendations.
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.
In IsoRide → Settings → Calendar Sync
…lands on every Apple Calendar you own.
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 when you've set a shelter, on Pro, no clutter otherwise.
- Pairs with Commute Today; both gated together.
- Pin favourite shelter spots for one-tap setup.
No accounts. No tracking.
No analytics SDK.
IsoRide sends your location to a few weather providers, Apple WeatherKit for forecasts, plus the U.S. EPA's AirNow and Open-Meteo for air quality and RainViewer for radar, purely to fetch conditions for where you are. 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, and no cross-app tracking. The core ride decision is free forever, and either way your data stays yours.
What we collect
Your location, sent in real time to weather providers (Apple WeatherKit, AirNow, Open-Meteo, RainViewer) to fetch local conditions. Only your most recent point is cached on-device so cold launches aren't blank, no history, no trail.
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.
Free core. Pro your way.
How much is Pro?
Three ways in, all unlocking the same features: yearly at $14.99 with a 7-day free trial, monthly at $2.99, or a one-time Lifetime purchase at $39.99. The core ride decision stays free forever.
Don't want a subscription?
Buy Lifetime once for $39.99 and keep Pro forever, on every iPhone signed into your Apple ID. No renewals, no auto-charge. Anyone who bought the earlier one-time unlock keeps Pro at no extra cost.
What if I don't ride year-round?
The free tier covers the daily verdict and every metric card. Most weekend cyclists are fine on free. Pro earns its keep when you ride 3+ days a week or have a real shelter or commute to plan.
Can I try Pro before I pay?
Yes. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial, and tapping Upgrade lists every Pro feature up front so you know exactly what you're getting. Cancel anytime in Settings, and one tap restores Pro on a new device.
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.
