The whole group on one map.
And everyone’s track — by default!
Ride Herd shows who is riding where, records everyone’s track by itself — in the background, with the screen off — and raises the alarm across the whole group with one tap.
The group falls apart at the first fork
Someone raced ahead, someone got stuck in the mud — and you spend half an hour riding circles to round everyone up.
You go down alone on the trail, and the group finds out an hour later — if at all.
No signal, phone in your pocket, no track recorded. A great ride with nothing left of it.
Ride Herd fixes exactly that: everyone on one map, tracks record themselves, and your SOS reaches everyone nearby.
It herds the group — it doesn’t just draw a line
Everything runs by itself, in stages: gather → the leader hits GO → map, tracks, chat and safety switch on with no toggles at all.
The whole group, live
Everyone is an avatar with a heading arrow: where they face, how fast they ride, battery, GPS quality. If someone drops behind, you see it instantly.
Tracks record themselves
In your pocket, screen off, no signal. When the network drops, points pile up on the phone and upload themselves later. Nothing gets lost.
Meet-up without phone calls
You can see who is already at the spot and who is still on the way, and in how long. The leader taps GO — the ride starts for everyone at once.
Off-road navigation
Ride your old track, follow a specific rider, or head to a point in the forest: the copper dashes always show the bearing and the elevation delta.
Chat you can tap in gloves
You can’t type while riding — so ready-made phrases are one tap away: “wait for me”, “catching up”. Everyone edits their own list; ride events land in the same feed.
Results and records
After the finish: map, distance, time, average and top speed, elevation gain, terrain profile and trophies for personal records.
This is what you see on the bars
Everything is glove-sized: big buttons, big numbers, tapping instead of typing.
One tap on SOS — everyone nearby knows
Enduro means forest, mud and single tracks. Ride Herd makes “vanished and nobody noticed” impossible.
- ✓SOS button — big enough for gloves. Everyone gets a siren, a red ring on your marker, and your last known point.
- ✓Rescuer — whoever gets the SOS taps “On my way” and shows up on the victim’s map, even if they weren’t on the ride.
- ✓Health card — blood type, allergies, next of kin. Visible to others ONLY during an SOS.
- ✓Riding solo — the SOS goes to people you’ve ridden with before: you pick who to call.
Your riding history, on a big screen
At home, from your computer: a big map, any saved track and point, every participant’s track in its own colour, the ride’s chat feed — and a live view while the group is still out there.
Short and honest
Does it work without internet?
Track recording never needs the internet — points upload themselves once you’re back in coverage. Seeing each other without a network works when phones are close: they link directly.
Does it drain the battery?
Riding alone, the app drops into low-power mode by itself: no constant connection, the track is written to the phone and uploaded later. The moment someone joins, live mode kicks in.
What about privacy?
Your position is visible only to riders in your ride, and only while it lasts. The health card is revealed only during an SOS. The track is yours: you decide who gets it.
Is Android coming?
Yes, both: iPhone from the App Store, Android as a file from this page.
Ride Herd — free
Live group map, tracks, chat and SOS. All free: there is no paid tier in the app.
The Android version installs from a file: it is not on Google Play yet. Your phone will ask for permission — that is normal for a file from outside the store.
