Skip the Loading Screens. Get Straight to the Pain Cave. We built Gradient because we wanted to train indoors for hill climbs without bloated software. Other apps take forever to load, leaving you staring at a screen when you could be warming up, and charge you a monthly subscription to ride your own bike. Plus, they don’t even work on Linux.
Gradient is a stripped-down indoor training dashboard for riding any GPX route you like. We have just the essential datafields, a live route profile, and a TCX file to upload to Strava when you’re done.
Key Features:
-
Instant Connectivity: Gradient quickly finds, connects to, and controls your smart trainer without a fuss. Less waiting, more riding.
-
Custom Routes on Your Terms: Grab a GPX file and ride it with automatic trainer resistance control.
-
The Essentials: A clean dashboard that displays all the data you actually care about, alongside a live route profile so you know what gradients are coming.
-
Strava-Ready Exports: At the end of your ride, Gradient generates a
.tcxfile so you can easily upload your sufferfest to Strava (because if it isn’t on Strava, did it really happen?). -
Linux Compatibility: Gradient works smoothly on Linux, with .deb and .AppImage files available. (Windows and Mac coming soon.)
-
100% Free: We’re too cheap to pay a subscription just to ride up a hill, and you shouldn’t have to either. No purchase price or monthly fee.
