What's New
Release notes, new features, and improvements.
Average Speed, Power Graph & Elevation Zoom
Two new overlay types, a scrolling elevation graph that zooms into the terrain around you, and several export and stability fixes.
Features
- +New Average Speed overlay — shows current average speed with progress bar and delta indicator across all 4 themes
- +New Power Graph overlay — visualizes power output over distance, matching the elevation graph style
- +Elevation graph View Range — zoom into 1 km, 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km around your current position with auto-fit vertical scaling
- +Elevation graph vertical scale — adjust how tall the elevation profile appears (0.25x to 2.0x)
- +Speed decimal toggle — show speed with one decimal place (e.g., 26.2 km/h)
- +Overlay snap-to-grid for easier positioning
Improvements
- ~Elevation graph shows traversed portion in accent color and upcoming terrain in white
- ~View Range labels adapt to your unit system (km or mi)
- ~Power Zones, Time in Zones, and W'bal overlays now have a darker, cleaner background in the Modern theme
- ~Dark Background toggle now available for Modern theme on Power Zones, Time in Zones, and W'bal
Bug Fixes
- *Fixed W'bal, Normalized Power, Training Stress, and Time in Zones always exporting as Modern theme regardless of selected style
- *Fixed New Project not fully clearing previous project data — telemetry, animations, and segment overlays no longer carry over
- *Fixed gradient fill elevation bars appearing uneven when using View Range zoom
Gradient Theme Backgrounds & Ride Duration
Per-overlay dark background toggle for the Gradient theme, new ride duration overlay with elapsed/remaining time, and configurable segment result timing.
Features
- +Per-overlay dark background toggle for Gradient theme — enable or disable the dark panel behind each overlay independently
- +New Ride Duration overlay showing elapsed or remaining ride time
- +Milliseconds display option for ride duration overlay
- +Segment result banner display time is now configurable in the inspector (3s, 5s, or 10s)
Improvements
- ~Dark backgrounds added to Gradient theme overlays that were missing them (speedometer, elevation graph, minimap, W'bal gauge)
- ~Mini map now shows the Synced/Independent style toggle like all other overlays
- ~Segment result banner default hold time increased from 3-3.5s to 5s across all themes
- ~Remaining time label and value moved outside the circular gradient ring for better readability
Bug Fixes
- *Fixed sub-second precision loss in ride duration overlay causing milliseconds to always show zero
Timeline Zoom & Export Quality
Timeline zoom now anchors to your mouse pointer, and video exports hit their target bitrate.
Improvements
- ~Timeline zoom (Shift+scroll) now zooms toward the mouse pointer instead of the left edge
- ~Mini map overlay now supports zooming in to the tile map
Bug Fixes
- *Fixed exported video bitrate not matching the configured target on macOS
Cyberpunk Theme & Distance Toggle
Major improvements to the Cyberpunk theme with color-coded metric bars, plus a new distance overlay mode toggle.
Features
- +Distance overlay now supports toggling between 'Distance Remaining' and 'Distance Traveled' via the inspector panel
- +Cyberpunk theme now shows labels on all metric overlays (HR, Power, Cadence, Grade, Elevation, Distance)
Improvements
- ~Distance overlay renamed from 'Distance Left' to 'Distance' in the sidebar
Windows Video Fix
Fixes video appearing horizontally flipped on Windows and export not matching the preview orientation.
Bug Fixes
- *Fixed videos appearing horizontally mirrored in preview on Windows due to OpenGL FBO readback
- *Fixed exported video orientation not matching the preview when flip transforms were applied
- *Fixed DJI Action camera videos incorrectly applying horizontal flip on Windows
Windows Fixes & Stability
Fixes file dialogs freezing the app on macOS, adds Settings access on Windows, improves export reliability, and adds offline trial support.
Features
- +Offline trial support — trial status is now cached locally so the app works without internet during your trial period
Improvements
- ~File dialogs (open, save, import, export) no longer freeze the UI while open
- ~Settings panel is now accessible on Windows via Help menu or Ctrl+,
- ~OpenGL context on Windows now requests a modern GL 3.2 profile for better driver compatibility with libmpv
- ~Export error reports now include encoder name and resolution for faster diagnostics
Bug Fixes
- *Fixed a crash caused by file dialogs blocking the main thread on macOS (GStreamer conflict)
- *Fixed flip horizontal and flip vertical not applied during export
- *Fixed portrait video exports using wrong resolution when a custom aspect ratio was set
- *Fixed segment overlay theme overrides persisting after switching back to synced mode
- *Fixed GPU YUV shader failing on videos with dimensions not divisible by 4
Export & Theme Fixes
Fixes export failures on Windows when hardware encoding is unavailable, and resolves a bug where segment overlay themes could get stuck after switching.
Improvements
- ~Export failure analytics now include encoder name, resolution, and overlay count for faster diagnostics
Bug Fixes
- *Fixed exports failing with 'Operation not permitted' on Windows when the hardware encoder is unavailable
- *Fixed segment overlay theme visually stuck on previous theme after switching while style sync is enabled
Video Flip & Rotation Fixes
Exported videos now respect flip settings and handle rotated videos correctly.
Bug Fixes
- *Flip horizontal and flip vertical settings are now applied during export
- *Videos recorded in portrait mode (e.g. iPhone) no longer appear upside-down after export
- *Fixed export failure with certain portrait video resolutions
Export Reliability
Fixes an export failure that some users experienced, and improves reliability when source videos have unusual audio formats.
Bug Fixes
- *Fixed an export failure on some Macs when exporting 4K H.264 video
