Auto start/stop & triggers ​

Two features keep your hands free during an activity: automatic start/stop and audio triggers.

Auto start/stop ​

When enabled, the app starts recording automatically once you exceed a speed threshold, and stops when you drop below a threshold for a set time. Both thresholds and timings are tuned per sport category, so a paraglider, a cyclist and a hiker each get sensible defaults.

This means you can put your phone away and trust that your takeoff or your ride start is captured — no need to remember to hit record.

Pick the right sport first

Because the thresholds depend on the category, selecting the correct sport before you head out makes auto start/stop reliable.

Triggers (audio alerts) ​

Triggers play an audio alert when a condition is met while recording. You can create triggers based on:

  • Reaching a value — e.g. altitude above X, speed above Y, heart rate above Z.
  • Time intervals — e.g. announce every 10 minutes.
  • Distance intervals — e.g. announce every 5 km.

For each trigger you can record a custom voice message, test how it sounds before you head out, and configure them per sport category.

Volume handling ​

To make sure you can hear alerts, the app can automatically raise the volume to maximum a short time after recording starts.

INFO

Free accounts can set a limited number of triggers; Premium raises the limit.
