1.0.2 Expected Aug 2026 First public release

The first public version of VeloRadar. Final field-testing in progress before App Store submission.

What's new

  • Live voltage, current, and power read directly from your EKD01-BF controller - identical to the bike's native display, no calibration
  • Battery percentage from a real 13S Li-ion discharge curve (54.0 V = 100%, 42 V = 0%)
  • Adaptive remaining range calculated from your actual riding time, energy use, and power output
  • Rear-view radar integration with all Garmin Varia models - distance, speed, and haptic alerts when a car enters your alert zone
  • Direction View navigation camera - tilted 3D close-up while riding, one tap to see the whole route flat
  • GPX route import from Mapy.cz, Komoot, Strava, Files, or any cycling app
  • Apple Health sync (opt-in) - each ride saved as a cycling workout with the full GPS route
  • Apple Watch companion with battery, range, and cars-behind haptic alerts
  • Optional screen-locked ride tracking - keep recording with the phone in your pocket
  • Light, Dark, and System themes - clearer dashboard in any lighting condition
  • Visible bottom navigation (Ride / Map / Stats) with full accessibility support
  • Colored weather forecast for the next 12 hours via Apple WeatherKit
  • In-app Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Safety Disclaimer, presented once on first launch
  • Localized in English, French, German, Italian, and Russian

Reliability

  • Production-grade Bluetooth reliability layer - explicit timeouts, stale-callback guards, recovery from mid-ride disconnects
  • Faster route-matching algorithm for long imported GPX tracks
  • Honest "waiting for data" state instead of false "connected" before the first telemetry packet arrives
  • iOS deployment target raised to iOS 17, matching the marketing claim

Privacy

  • Notifications, Apple Health, and screen-locked tracking now ask for iOS permission only when you explicitly turn them on
  • OpenWeatherMap fallback removed - Apple WeatherKit is now the sole weather source
  • No third-party APIs of any kind

  • Onboarding tour rewritten with real preview cards
1.0 Internal · April 2026 Internal milestone
