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. "PM rainier — ride AM" 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.
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.
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" gets warned at 78°F. "Love it hot" has a higher ceiling.
- Wind sensitivity shifts the no-penalty ceiling from 13mph to 23mph.
- 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 only when you've set a shelter — 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 coarse coordinates to Apple WeatherKit to fetch local conditions, and that's it. 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, no cross-app tracking — and no subscription traps. Pay $4.99 once for Pro, or stay free forever. Either way, your data stays yours.
What we collect
Your approximate coordinates, used in real time to fetch the local forecast. Never stored.
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.
One-time, on purpose.
Why not a subscription?
Weather doesn't change every month. You shouldn't have to keep paying for a tool you check before every ride. One $4.99, yours forever — including future updates.
Why $4.99?
Less than the price of a single month of CARROT Weather Premium. Yours forever, on every iPhone signed into your Apple ID, and Family Shareable so your partner gets Pro too.
What if I don't ride year-round?
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 / commute to plan.
Can I try Pro before buying?
Not a free trial, but you're never buying blind. Tapping Upgrade opens a screen that lists every Pro feature up front, so you know exactly what you're getting. It's a one-time $4.99 (no subscription, no auto-renew), and one tap restores it 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.
