Look, we all know with AI we’re all creating things left and right, to the point of exhaustion.
Point is, I bought an indoor trainer and didn’t want to ride with any screen or game in front of me, I have enough of that in my life already. But the trainer had no decent app to follow ERG workouts, and at the time, all the screenless didn’t give me the option to pay for life time unlock (Breakaway), or had the most horribel user interface (QZdomyosswift). Since then there’s likely Ergmatic, but I didn’t want subscriptions either.
So let’s build yet another one. It’s totally tailored to what I need from an app, not what others might, so whatever. It’s on iOS only because that’s what I use.
So what can you do?
- Ride any workout on your 7-day intervals calendar
- Workouts execute in ERG mode, you can always break-away from ERG mid-workout by overriding power
- You can override power with app buttons, or voice, by saying “CoffeeCave, two-fifty”, or “CoffeeCave, four-five-five”, to go to 250W and 455W respectively
- You can build workouts on the phone and schedule them on calendar days, it syncs to intervals
- Have power matching so you ride indoors at the proper pedal power you’re used to, not the one the trainer says
- Have a readiness/training load cards which advise you when to back-off or rest today
- Have a morning notification checkin asking how you’re feeling to better inform the advice on Recovery
- Do free rides as well
And that’s more or less it. Some pictures.
So if someone else would like it, and since I haven’t tested with anyone, send me your iOS email in DM and I’ll add you as a beta tester. If no one is interested, I won’t bother moving it further to publishing.
