BackManual
What every feature in this app actually does.
Ride styles
Wormhole / Hyperspace (3D styles)
A 3D canvas HUD with cadence, resistance, and BPM overlaid on top. Sized off vh in landscape so the readouts scale to the height you actually have, not just the width.
Stats Ride (Pro)
A real-time analytics dashboard instead of a 3D canvas: a live HR chart, the segment timeline, and six live tiles (Load, Load rate, Efficiency, Drift vs start, Est. power, and a Trending zone-mix card). Tap any tile to open a bigger comparison chart against your last few rides. Free to try on Recovery Ride — every other course needs Pro.
Zone-color mode (Pro)
On Lightspeed and Quantum Tunnel, recolor the ride live to match your current heart-rate zone instead of the style’s scripted colors. Turn it on before a ride from the checkbox under a course’s Style select, or mid-ride from the gear-icon controls menu.
Music
Apple Music (Pro)
Connect your Apple Music account from the gear-icon controls menu mid-ride, pick a library playlist, and control play/pause/skip without leaving the ride. Needs an active Apple Music subscription to browse or play — connecting itself works with any Apple ID.
Heart rate monitoring
Bluetooth HR monitor
Connect any standard BLE heart-rate strap or chest monitor from the pre-ride screen.
Apple Watch
Pairs automatically — nothing to tap on the Watch or on iPad/iPhone. Start a ride on your Watch and it signals the iPad/iPhone over Bluetooth; heart rate flows through live for the whole ride.
HR chart
Time window toggle
Tap the live HR chart to cycle its x-axis window — full ride, last 5 minutes, or last 10 minutes (configurable in Settings under HR chart window).
Performance Lab
History
Every finished ride, with KPIs (total rides, total time, calories, current/longest streak, favorite discipline) and a recent-rides list.
Trends
Zone-mix and training-load charts over 7 days, a month, or a year, plus cardiac drift and efficiency factor where enough data exists.
On iOS
Your ride history is always on-device first — it works fully offline with no account. Sign in to also back rides up online.
Account & sign-in
Sign-in options
Apple, Google, or email — the same options on web and in the iOS app.
Apple Health
On iOS, finished rides are written to Apple Health automatically.
Pro
What Pro unlocks
Custom workout building, the full set of ride styles (including Stats Ride, free only on Recovery Ride), and zone-color mode on Lightspeed/Quantum Tunnel. Your own ride history and Performance Lab trends are free for everyone.
