ODD Flow

One tracker for every way you move — cycling, on a bike, in a car, on foot — that turns an ordinary trip into a replay worth showing someone.

The app is built and being ridden with. It isn’t in the stores yet — Android can be installed today, iPhone can’t until it’s on TestFlight. The part still to be proven is a full commute with the phone locked in a pocket.
The idea

Most trackers only care about exercise

They want your heart rate and your pace. But most of the moving people actually do in a day isn’t exercise — it’s the ride to work, the school run, the walk to the shop that took twenty minutes because of one junction.

ODD Flow records all of it in one app, with the same care given to a commute as to a Sunday ride: the route, the stops, the photos you took, replayed as something you’d actually send to a friend.

What it does

Built around the commute, not the workout

Pick how you’re moving before you start, because it changes what gets measured. Most trackers pause themselves the moment you stop. On a bike that quietly deletes the most interesting part of the journey, so ODD Flow doesn’t: time held at a signal is recorded, not skipped. Every wait over twenty seconds is kept, with where it happened.

It records with the screen off and the phone in a pocket, which is how a commute is actually carried. A trip cut short by a crash is recovered from what reached the disk rather than lost. Climb comes from the barometer, not GPS altitude, because GPS is wrong about height by ten metres on a good day.

Leave it running after you park and it notices, and offers to trim the trip back to when you actually stopped moving — otherwise twenty minutes of standing indoors drags the whole ride’s average down.

Afterwards: the route drawn, the stops listed, photos pinned where you took them, and a card worth sending someone. Over weeks it fills in a map of everywhere you’ve ridden, and starts telling you that this morning’s run took eight minutes longer than it usually does.

Then

Enough trips, and traffic stops being a guess

Every recorded trip is a small, honest measurement of how long a stretch of road actually took, at that hour, on that kind of vehicle. Collected across enough people, that becomes a picture of how a city really moves — not a modelled one.

Bengaluru first, because that’s the traffic I know. This part comes after the tracker works well on its own; a traffic layer built on three users’ data would be fiction.

Get it

Android now, iPhone when Apple allows it

Android

Installable today. It isn’t on the Play Store, so Android will ask you to allow an install from outside it — that’s the normal warning for a build that hasn’t been through review, not a fault.

APK · 44 MB · arm64 · Android 8 and up

iPhone

Not yet, and not because it isn’t ready — iOS only installs apps through the App Store or TestFlight, so there is no file anyone can put on this page. It goes to TestFlight before the store.

What it looks like

The app, as it stands

Screenshots from the running build, not mock-ups — a bike commute through Cubbon Park, recorded and replayed.

The record screen, with Bike, Cycle, Car, Jog, Walk and Other to choose from
Pick how you’re moving. It changes what gets measured — what counts as a stop, and how fast is too fast to be believed.
Recording in progress, showing distance, speed and time stopped
Time at signals is recorded, not skipped. Stopped time sits beside distance and speed, because on a commute it is the measurement.
A finished trip, with route, distance, speeds, moving and standing time
The trip afterwards. Route, distance, top and average speed, and the time spent standing still shown in its own right.
The route flown in 3D over Bengaluru, with buildings standing up around it
Flown in 3D. The ride replayed over real terrain and buildings, at a speed that suits how you were travelling — a walk is not flown at commuting pace.
On the web

A viewer, because a browser cannot record a ride

There’s no background GPS in a browser, so the web build doesn’t pretend to record. It reads what the phone recorded: export a .oddflow file from the app, open it here, and the trips, the map and the numbers are all there on a bigger screen — which is a nicer place to make a card worth sending someone.

Nothing is uploaded. The file is read in your browser and stays there.

Riding with it?

It works; it isn’t released. If you’ve installed it, tell me what broke — and I’ll tell you when the iPhone build opens. No list, no marketing, just an email from me.
