Keep the engine
running.

Route Chaser is built by one rider, in their spare time. It's free to use — no ads, no tracking. Running it costs money, though, so if the app has helped you find a good road or run a group ride, a small donation goes directly into keeping the lights on and shipping new features. The more support it gets, the longer it can stay free and independent. Everything below is what your support funds.

• Server & domain

  Hosting, the production database, automated backups, and domain renewal.

• Map data

  OSM tiles and OSRM road-snapping. Self-hosted instances cost real money when traffic grows.

• New features

  Elevation profiles, twistiness scoring, photo galleries, offline downloads, Garmin/Calimoto sync.

• Time

  Fixing bugs, reading every piece of feedback, and planning what to build next.

• ▸Elevation profiles per route
• ▸Curvature / twistiness score for sorting
• ▸Photos & ride reports on routes
• ▸Real-time notification push
• ▸Offline map downloads
• ▸Strava / Calimoto / Garmin sync

• Share it

  Send the link to a riding friend. Word of mouth is the only marketing this app has.

• Send feedback

  Bugs, ideas, feature requests — they're all gold. Reach out and they'll get read.

• Map great routes

  The app is only as good as its routes. Add the roads you love.
