Automatic ride detection + background GPS

Automatic motorcycle ride tracking

Rydful is a motorcycle ride tracker app that auto-logs rides via Bluetooth (or a BLE beacon) and records your GPS route in the background—so your ride history stays complete without manual start/stop.

Looking for a motorcycle trip tracker that feels effortless? This page explains how Rydful helps you track rides automatically and keep a reliable ride log.

Why riders switch to an automatic ride tracker

Many ride tracking apps require you to remember to press “Start” and “Stop”. That works… until it doesn’t. You forget one ride, your statistics become unreliable, and your ride history becomes a patchwork of missing data.

Rydful is built for people who want a motorcycle ride log they can trust. Instead of turning ride tracking into a habit you have to maintain, it aims to make tracking the default.
