About Rittiers
Rittiers turns a GPX file into something you can actually ride. Import a route and Rittiers reads the road beneath it: every climb, every cobbled sector, every stretch of gravel. Then it puts that on your handlebars, your wrist, and your Lock Screen. YOUR ROUTE LIBRARY Import from Files or iCloud, or bring in rides you have already done from Apple Health. Organise everything into folders, switch between a list and a gallery of route thumbnails, and select several at once to move or tidy up. Search finds any route instantly, and Spotlight finds them from outside the app. CLIMBS, RATED Climbs are detected automatically and scored with FIETS ratings, so you know what you are in for before you turn the pedals. Grade colours run along the elevation profile, each climb gets its own chart, and tapping one on the map shows exactly where it starts and how hard it bites. COBBLES AND SURFACES Cobbled sectors are called out as first-class sections and rated for roughness. Routes are matched against the real road network, so you get the gravel percentage up front and surface markings along the line — no more discovering the farm track at kilometre 60. DESCRIBE A RIDE, GET A ROUTE Ask for what you want in plain language — a distance, a loop, somewhere to end up — and Rittiers builds a real route from actual roads, taking the weather into account. Change it the same way: add a stop, make it longer, make it shorter, or send it home. Nothing is overwritten, so the route you imported stays exactly as it was. EDIT WITHOUT FEAR Rename, reverse, crop, move the start or finish, or merge two routes together, all with live statistics as you work and a gap check when the ends do not quite meet. Every edit can be saved as a copy. RIDE IT Tracking shows swipeable ride cards that change with what you are doing: distance and pace, the climb you are on, the turn that is coming, what is left. A Live Activity keeps it on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Crossing points where the route doubles back are marked with direction arrows, so you know which way you are meant to be going. FREE RIDE No route, no problem. Record as you go, watch the line draw itself behind you, and save the whole thing as a route when you get home. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app is a real one, not a remote control. Climbs and cobbles with live distances, an always-on ride card, turn markers on the map, Take me home when you have had enough, and route generation without reaching for your phone. WIDGETS AND COMPLICATIONS Last Route and Top Pinned on the Home Screen and on your watch face. EVERYWHERE iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro and Apple TV. Routes, folders and settings sync through iCloud, so your activity type, home location and units follow you between devices. GPX files preview in Finder and Quick Look without opening the app.
What’s new
Version 2.0 · Updated August 30, 2026
Rittiers 2.0 is the biggest update yet. GENERATE ROUTES WITH AI Describe the ride you want and get a real route back, built from actual roads and aware of the weather. Edit it in plain language too: add a stop, extend it, shorten it, or send it home. FREE RIDE Record a ride without a planned route, then save it as a route when you are done. CLIMBS AND COBBLES Climbs are detected automatically with FIETS ratings and grade colours, and cobbled sectors are rated for roughness. Both appear in route order with their own elevation charts. KNOW THE SURFACE Routes are matched to the real road network: gravel percentage, surface markings along the line, and turn guidance while you ride. REDESIGNED LIBRARY A new routes screen with folders, gallery view and multi-select. REDESIGNED TRACKING Swipeable ride cards, upcoming-turn badges, live climb progress, and a Live Activity that follows what you are doing. APPLE WATCH Climbs and cobbles on your wrist, an always-on ride card, turn markers on the map, Take me home, and route generation from the watch. WIDGETS AND COMPLICATIONS Last Route and Top Pinned on iPhone and Apple Watch. SETTINGS THAT FOLLOW YOU Activity type, home location and units now sync across your devices via iCloud.
