A training plan that adapts when your week doesn't go to plan.
Routa connects to Intervals.icu and Apple Health, scores your readiness each morning, adjusts the session, and controls your trainer in ERG mode. On-device, no account required.
Four things, every day you ride.
Daily plan, readiness, guided workouts, load tracking — all in the free tier. Pro adds longer-horizon planning and finer training controls.
A plan that adapts every day
Tell Routa how much you can train each day and how you feel. It builds your week around real life, and rebuilds when reality shifts — missed session, bad sleep, meeting on top of a workout. Proextends the horizon to four weeks with deload and taper handled.
One call each morning
Open the app, get one call: go hard, dial it back, or rest. With wearables, Routa uses HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep against accumulated load. Without, log how you feel with one tap. The reasoning is on screen — which signals fired, which thresholds tripped.
Smart trainer in ERG
Pull today's session from the workout library or your Intervals.icu calendar. Pair your smart trainer over Bluetooth and Routa runs ERG so you can focus on the effort. Heart rate monitor pairs too.
See where the plan is taking you
Fitness, recovery and load balance, all charted, all free. Where you've been, where you are, where the plan is taking you. No paywalls on retrospective insight.
Standalone, or connected. Same planner either way.
Link Intervals.icu and Apple Health if you want history and recovery signals. Skip both and Routa runs on its own, on-device.
Set up
Enter your FTP. Optionally link Intervals.icu to auto-import history and sync workouts back. Optionally link Apple Health for HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep.
Check in
Open the app each morning. Today's session is already built. With wearables, readiness comes from last night. Without, a quick feel-based tap.
Train
Tap workout, pair the trainer or head out the door, ride. If Intervals.icu is connected, finished sessions sync back. If not, they stay local.
Rules, not AI.
Readiness scoring, today's workout, load progression, mesocycle timing — all of it runs on explicit, deterministic logic grounded in established training science. Same inputs give the same output, every time.
When the app says Z2 today instead of intervals, the reasoning is on screen: signals, thresholds, gates. Nothing hallucinated.
Two problems I wanted to solve.
I've trained for years and used various apps and platforms. Paid coaching apps, static plans, spreadsheets. They all break the same way: life happens. A meeting moves, a kid gets sick, sleep tanks, and the rigid plan turns into fiction. I wanted something that built the calendar for me, adapted when reality shifted, and handled progression on its own.
The second problem was my wife's. She doesn't like cycling. She hates new apps. She needed a reason to do cardiovascular training and nothing on the market gave her one. So I built something simple enough for her to use, and capable enough that I'd still use it for my own structured blocks.
She's trained with it for months. I use it for my own blocks. That's why the daily app is free — it has to work for both of us before it earns a subscription.
