Not replacing your whole setup
If you love Strava, keep it. Clym is designed to sit alongside the tools you already use rather than demand you abandon them.
About
Named for the best part of the ride.
Clym is a climb with the effort left in. It's the bit that hurts, the bit you remember, and the bit that asks the most of the bike underneath you. That felt like the right name for a computer that pays attention to both.
Why we're building it
The bike is the part everyone stopped measuring.
Cycling has extraordinary tools for measuring the rider. Power, training load, recovery, fitness trends — all of it mature, all of it excellent.
The machine gets almost none of that. Most riders track component wear on a mental note and a rough guess, and find out they were wrong when something expensive fails on a climb. The information needed to do better is already being collected on every ride — distance, conditions, terrain, torque. It just isn't being used.
That gap is the whole reason Clym exists. Not to replace the tools that already work well, but to cover the thing none of them bothered with.
Our approach
What we're not doing.
Being clear about this is more useful than another feature list — particularly given how many cycling apps promise everything.
Not shipping safety features we can't stand behind
Anything that someone might rely on in an emergency gets held to a different standard, and described with its limits attached.
Not calling an estimate a measurement
Where a number is inferred, the app says so. Confidence you haven't earned is worse than no number at all.
Not taking your data for granted
Rides stay on your phone unless you ask otherwise. Sharing is explicit, scoped and reversible.
Where it stands
Honest status.
Clym is in active development and being ridden every week. The recording engine, the garage, the wear model, the shop connection, suspension tuning, and the AI features all work today. Navigation works too — turn cues, off-route alerts that escalate with real options, voice rerouting, an honest arrival estimate, and a breadcrumb trail back to the start — and keeps proving itself on every ride. Safety and the wider ecosystem features are still catching up behind them.
We'd rather have a hundred riders who know exactly what they're getting than a launch that oversells. If you want the unvarnished version of what works this week, join the beta and ask — you'll get a straight answer.
Come and help shape it.
The beta is small on purpose. Every piece of feedback lands directly on the roadmap.
