Look up. The Home tab now sits under a living sky that matches the weather where you are — the sun moving across it through the day, clouds drifting with the wind, rain or snow falling when it's falling outside, and the colours of night once the sun has set. Open any outdoor ride and the same sky shows the weather you set off in. Your Wahoo rides can come straight in, too. Connect your Wahoo account in Settings, choose Import from Wahoo, and pick a workout from the list. It arrives as a new journal entry with its distance, time, climbing, heart rate, power, cadence and training load already filled in. Also in this release: rate how hard a ride felt, a redesigned journal entry with an interactive route map, detailed charts for every measurement with a trend line, dates instead of weekdays for rides more than a week old, and a fair few small things tidied up along the way.
Ride Journal knows who is riding now. Add your name, your pronouns and a photo, and it greets you by name every time you open it — with a line underneath about the ride you have already done today, or a nudge towards the one you haven't. Your profile holds your all-time totals too: every ride, every kilometre, every hour and every metre climbed, your longest ride and your biggest climb. You can also finally find anything in your journal. Search by where you rode or a word you wrote, then narrow it down by distance, climbing, heart rate, power, training load, how the ride felt, the weather, the road — or switch to Climbs and search those instead. With a subscription you can just type what you mean, like "wet rides over 50 km", and ask a question and get a written answer above the results. Siri can find a ride for you, too. Your training zones come across from Apple Health. Every ride now shows how long you spent in each heart rate and power zone, so you can see the shape of the effort rather than just the average, and your zone boundaries sit in your profile alongside everything else. Also in this release: your training load on every ride that recorded one, climbs that load the moment you open an entry, and a fair few small things tidied up along the way.
You can just ask now. Say "My latest ride in Ride Journal" and Siri tells you about it without the app ever coming to the front, or ask for your ride stats for this week, this month, this year or all time. And Shortcuts gets the whole journal: find rides by distance, place, how they felt, the weather or a word in your notes, find the climbs inside them, and build any of it into an automation of your own. Every outdoor ride now remembers the weather. Ride Journal looks it up the moment you import and keeps it on the entry — temperature, the day's high and low, wind speed and direction, the chance of rain, and an hour-by-hour strip covering the time you were actually out. When the forecast missed it, tag the ride yourself — Fog, Rain, Storm, Windy, Hot, Cold and seven more. Your week and month have grown up, too. Week in Numbers and Month in Numbers now carry a day-by-day chart, your climbing and moving time, your time in daylight, your longest ride and the place you set off from most. Above the figures, Apple Intelligence writes you a couple of lines about them — on your device, in your language, with none of it sent to a server. Also in this release: the weather card on the Home tab can be pulled to refresh, and a fair few small things were tidied up along the way.
Ride Journal now finds the climbs in your rides for you. Every sustained rise gets its own card — mapped, graded from gentle to brutal, and categorised from Cat 4 all the way up to Hors Catégorie, with the length, gain, time and gradients behind it. You can also record what the road was like. Wet, greasy, gravel, roadworks, quiet, busy — tag a ride the way you would describe it to a friend, and the entry finally remembers the bit the numbers always missed. Editing is where it should be, too. One sheet now holds the name, your notes, how the ride felt, the road conditions, your photos and your music, so nothing is set in stone the moment you import. Also in this release: more from your rear radar, including passing speed and how close it got, and Ride Journal now speaks German, French and Japanese. Imports are faster, the journal scrolls smoother, and a fair few small things were tidied up along the way.
Your rides and Apple Health now play even nicer together. This release brings smoother, more reliable sync so your data lands where it should — plus a handful of UI refinements to make every journal entry a little more delightful to open. Same journal you love, now running cleaner than ever.
A great ride is always better when it's shared. Now you can post your rides straight to FITPub and let your friends and followers come along for the journey, right from your journal.
We've given Ride Journal a splash of colour! This release is a fresh UI makeover focused on delight — brighter, bolder, and more fun to open after every ride. Same journal you love, now with extra joy baked in.
Fixed a rather nasty performance issue in the app.
Small bug fixes and UI tweaks.
You can now create journal entries from rides saved in Apple Health.
An epic cycling adventure needs a playlist that just elevates it to the next level. Now you can add the playlist to your journal entry and relive the ride.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, now you can write a thousand words and include pictures with the journal entries.
Want to write a bit about each ride as part of the journal? Well now you can. We've added in the ability to write some notes and have them appear alongside the details of your ride.
