Enduro · group · off-road

The whole group on one map.
Even where there is no signal.

Ride Herd shows where everyone is, records each rider’s track by itself — in the background and offline — and gets your SOS through to everyone when it matters.

The group falls apart at the first fork

1

Someone raced ahead, someone got stuck in the mud — and you spend half an hour riding circles to round everyone up.

2

You go down alone on the trail, and the group finds out an hour later — if at all.

3

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.

What the app does

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.

Off-grid link

Nearby phones link directly, bypassing carriers: positions and alarms get through where there isn’t a single bar.

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.

Screens

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.
Web app

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.

Questions

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?

iPhone today. Android is in the works.
