Rider OS
Intercom-agnostic group voice
Audio runs over the phone and the intercom becomes just a headset and a microphone. Cardo, Sena, Schuberth, Interphone and unbranded headsets share one channel.
Closed beta · iOS TestFlight
One group ride, one voice channel.
Cardo, Sena, Schuberth, Interphone — or the friend who owns no intercom at all. Rider OS puts the whole group on the same channel, then adds a live map, a one-press SOS and a real summary when the ride ends.
Free during the beta. No ads, no tracking, no recordings.
- 3–20
- riders per group, by design
- One channel
- brand, model and generation stop mattering
- Screen locked
- phone in your pocket, audio keeps running
- Zero recordings
- nothing said on the channel is stored
The problem
A group ride is run with five different apps today.
The meet-up is in a chat group, the talking happens on intercoms, location is a separate link, navigation is somewhere else. When someone drops back, nobody notices — and riders on different intercom brands cannot share a channel at all.
Today
- Trying to pair a Cardo with a Sena, usually without success
- The group splits into those who can talk and those who cannot
- Live-location links get buried in the chat
- A rider who falls behind is noticed at the next fuel stop
- Fiddling with a phone in gloves when something goes wrong
- Nothing left of the ride afterwards
With Rider OS
- One six-character code, one voice channel
- The intercom becomes a headset and a mic — the brand stops mattering
- Everyone on the map: heading, speed and last-seen time
- A rider who drops out shows up on the map immediately
- An SOS button big enough to press with gloves on
- Duration, distance, route and roster when the ride ends
Features
One app from the first briefing to the last summary.
Rider OS is not an intercom app; it is a group-ride app. Voice is only where it starts.
Keeps running with the screen locked
Phone in your pocket, screen off, app in the background — the audio does not stop. An ongoing notification on Android and a background audio session on iOS keep it alive for the whole ride.
Live rider map
The whole group on one map: position, heading, speed and last-seen time. Follow the leader or lock the camera to yourself. Two location modes, battery-friendly and high accuracy.
SOS
A button big enough to hit with gloves on, with a one-second hold so it cannot fire by accident. Everyone in the group is notified and your last known position drops onto the map.
Ride history
When a ride ends, its duration, distance, route line and roster are saved. Open any past ride from the history tab and look at it again.
Invite by code, QR or link
Read out the six-character code, let someone scan the QR, or send the link in a chat. If a code leaks, the ride owner rotates it in one tap.
Leaders and roles
Whoever opens the ride owns it: appoint a leader, remove someone who should not be there, hand ownership over. Once capacity is reached, nobody slips in quietly.
Notifications
You hear about it when a ride starts, when it ends and when someone triggers an SOS. Each notification arrives in the recipient's own language, Turkish or English.
How it works
Three taps before you turn the key.
No setup, no pairing ritual. Connect your intercom to your phone the way you always do; the app takes it from there.
-
Create the ride
Give it a name and open it. The app produces a six-character join code and a shareable link.
-
Get the group in
Read out the code, show the QR or drop the link in your chat. You watch people arrive in the lobby.
-
Start riding and talk
Starting the ride opens the voice channel. Put the phone away — voice, map and SOS keep working in the background.
Safety and privacy
You should never have to look at your phone mid-ride.
The interface is built for that: large touch targets, high contrast for night rides, and a flow that needs no input once the ride has started.
- Voice is never recorded. It is relayed in real time and stored nowhere.
- Location is shared only during a ride. When the ride ends the live position is deleted; what remains is a ride summary only you and your group can see.
- No advertising identifiers, tracking pixels or analytics SDKs. We collect nothing to sell.
- You can delete your account in the app. Profile, rides and memberships go permanently — no support ticket required.
Rider OS is not an emergency service. The SOS feature alerts the riders in your group; it does not replace 112, 911 or any official emergency number. In a crash or an emergency, call the official services first.
FAQ
What riders ask first.
Can different intercom brands really share one channel?
Yes. Rider OS does not try to connect intercoms to each other; it carries the audio over the phone. Your intercom connects to your phone as a Bluetooth headset, so its brand and generation stop mattering. A rider on a Cardo and a rider on a Sena talk on the same channel, and someone with no intercom can join with ordinary earphones.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Voice and the map need mobile data. When you ride out of coverage the app keeps trying to reconnect and you rejoin the channel once the signal returns. There is no fully offline mode.
How much mobile data does it use?
About as much as a phone call: roughly 15–30 MB per hour depending on how much the group talks, plus map tiles.
What about battery?
Voice and GPS run together, so a ride is demanding. The app offers a battery-friendly and a high-accuracy location mode; on long rides, keep the phone on a charger.
How many riders can join?
Rider OS is designed for groups of 3–20. Every ride has a capacity limit and stops accepting riders once it is full.
Is my conversation recorded?
No. The voice server only relays; it does not record or store anything. All it knows is who is connected. We cannot technically stop other participants from recording on their own devices, though.
Does it cost anything?
It is free during the beta. If a paid tier arrives later, you will hear about it before anything changes for today's features.
Is there an Android version?
The Android version is built and in testing. Distribution started with iOS TestFlight; ask for the Android beta on the support page.
Stop splitting the group in two.
We are in closed beta with riders who do regular group rides. Bring your group and we will send the TestFlight invites.
