Account required to saveBikepacking app for planning, recording, and sharing
One journey before, during, and after the wheels move.
Use the web to organise the trip and its daily routes. Use the native app to record a stage reliably in the background. Give friends one optional browser link when the journey goes live.
- Plan on the web
- Record in the app
- Followers use a browser
Is this the app you need?
Choose it for journey continuity—not turn-by-turn everything.
Bikepacking Live is for riders who want a multi-day trip to stay coherent across planning, stage recording, and optional family sharing. It is not a route-discovery network, emergency satellite device, or a replacement for downloaded navigation.
- Choose it when stages matter.Every riding day has its own route and stats while remaining inside the whole journey.
- Choose it when home needs one link.The same private follower page works across the trip; viewers need no app.
- Bring another tool for navigation.Carry offline maps or a bike-computer route and a proper safety plan.
One route through the full workflow
Ljubljana to Bled starts as a plan and ends as a recorded stage.
The Hetzner router generated a 57.2 km bicycle route. Save it to the journey on the web, open the trip in the native app, record accepted GPS points during the ride, and let the follower page show only what has actually arrived.

Bikepacking app questions
Know the workflow before installing anything.
Is private trip planning free?
Yes. Create an account to save trips, stages, routes, ride records, and statistics. A membership is needed only for an active follower link.
Do family members install the app?
No. Followers open the private trip link in a modern browser without an account.
Does the app navigate me offline?
Do not use Bikepacking Live as your only navigation tool. Carry the route in an offline navigation app or bike computer.
What happens without mobile signal?
The cyclist app can keep accepted GPS points queued locally. New follower updates require connectivity and catch up after reconnection.
