Support

Vélog is a personal project. One person builds and maintains it: me.

Common questions

My CYCPLUS M3 isn't being detected.

Check that Bluetooth is on, the device is awake and Vélog has the Bluetooth permission in iOS Settings. For the very first connection the M3 has to be in pairing mode. After that, Vélog syncs on its own when you open it with the device nearby.

I signed in to Wahoo but no rides show up.

Wahoo only syncs finished rides that your head unit has uploaded to the Wahoo cloud. If a ride is still on the device, finish the upload first. Pull to refresh on the rides feed runs the sync again.

I signed in to Strava but no rides show up.

Vélog imports Strava activities that have a GPS track. It rebuilds each route from Strava's stream data, so indoor or manually entered activities without GPS are skipped. Got a lot of history? Strava's request limit can pause a big first sync. Run the sync again later and Vélog picks up where it stopped.

I connected Ride with GPS but no rides show up.

Vélog imports your recorded Ride with GPS trips, not planned routes. Check that the ride is saved as a trip in your Ride with GPS library. It shows up with Vélog's next sync.

How do I import from a Garmin Edge, Bryton Rider or Sigma ROX?

These computers have no Bluetooth sync and no public API, so Vélog imports them over USB. Connect the device to your iPhone, open the source's sync sheet and pick the device's activity folder. Vélog scans it for new rides and remembers the folder: the next sync is a single tap. A USB-C iPhone connects directly. Older iPhones need a Lightning to USB adapter.

Apple Health imports look incomplete.

Vélog reads cycling and hand cycling workouts. It needs the workout permission and the route permission to rebuild the map. It asks for both on first launch. You can change them under iOS Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices.

Weather charts are missing for an old ride.

Weather is off by default (turn it on under Settings → Data Sources). It runs in the background for rides imported after you turned it on. For older rides, open them once with weather on: Vélog then fetches the historical data from Open-Meteo.

How do I export my whole library?

For a single ride, use the share menu in the tour detail view. It exports GPX, FIT or .velog. A full library export isn't built in yet. If you need it, send me an email and I'll move it up the list.

Why did two of my rides merge into one?

That's auto-merge. When two sources record the same ride (say your bike computer and your Apple Watch), Vélog sees the overlap and folds them into one ride. No duplicates in your feed. The GPS track comes from the source that recorded it and metrics like heart rate are merged in from the other one. Nothing is deleted: open the ride detail view to see what was merged. Unmerge it if you'd rather keep the recordings apart.

Languages

Vélog speaks German, English, Spanish and Catalan. It follows your device's language.

System requirements

iPhone or iPad running iOS 18 or later.
A Wahoo account (only if you want to sync from Wahoo).
A Strava account (only if you want to sync from Strava).
A Ride with GPS account (only if you want to sync from Ride with GPS).
A CYCPLUS M3 computer (only if you want Bluetooth sync).
A Garmin Edge, Bryton Rider or Sigma ROX (only for USB import with a cable).
Apple Health with cycling workouts (only if you want to import from Apple Health).

None of this is required. Vélog works with plain FIT or GPX files too.
