Built by a Rider, For Riders

I've been cycling for 12 years, and three years ago I started adding indoor trainer sessions to my weekly outdoor rides. Like many cyclists, I subscribed to Zwift—but three years later, I realized I was paying $240 a year for a virtual world I never looked at. I wanted the essential training features without the bloat: smart trainer control, heart rate zone training, structured workouts, and real-time metrics. That's it.

RideByHeart is the app I wish existed when I started indoor training. It's currently free during the initial launch phase. When pricing launches, it's expected to be a one-time purchase, not a subscription. No features you'll never use. Just you, your trainer, and focused training sessions that respect both your time and your wallet.

I've canceled my Zwift subscription and now use RideByHeart for all my indoor sessions. This is version 2.2—not perfect, but it works. I'm releasing it now to get feedback and iterate quickly.
