Hi everyone, I'm Fahad, a software engineer from Pakistan and the solo developer behind Ridoze.

The idea came from a problem every touring group runs into. On mountain roads the group splits up on its own. The faster riders pull ahead on the climbs, someone stops for photos at the top of the pass, and a couple of riders are still behind the last switchback with no signal. By the next town nobody is sure who is where, and the group chat is full of "where are you?" messages.

Ridoze puts the whole group on one live map, so everyone can see where everyone else is.

What it does right now:

Live location of every rider, with speed, direction and phone battery
An alert when someone falls far behind or takes a wrong turn
Route planning and a weather check before you set off
Group chat, polls and group voice calls
One-tap SOS that sends your location to the group
Invite-code groups, so only riders the leader approves can join
Ride history and a shared expense tracker for tour costs

The core tracking and safety features are free. Premium removes ads and raises the group size and call limits. It's on Android today and the iOS version is on the way.

One thing I want to be clear about: Ridoze is a coordination tool, not an emergency service. SOS alerts your group, so in a real emergency please call local emergency numbers first.

I'd love your feedback, especially if you ride or organize group tours:

What's the most stressful part of riding in a group?
What would stop you from using an app like this on your next trip?

I'll be around all day to answer questions. Thanks for checking it out!
