TrueLean 1.1 — sync, Health, and a proper welcome

1.0 shipped a lean-angle cluster and left you to find your own way around it. 1.1 fixes both halves of that.

Your rides follow you now

Until 1.1, a ride lived on the phone that recorded it, and a lost or replaced phone took your history with it. Now iCloud sync keeps your rides in your own private iCloud — so they survive the phone, and last Sunday's ride is already there when you open the app on another device.

Worth being precise about what that does and doesn't mean: there is no TrueLean server. Your rides go to your iCloud, under your Apple Account, and nobody at TrueLean can see them. Turning sync off is one switch, after which rides stay only on the device.

Rides can go to Apple Health

Finish a ride and you can save it to Health as a workout: start and end time, the GPS route, and TrueLean's own numbers — maximum lean angle and direction, distance covered.

It's off until you ask for it, and it only ever writes: TrueLean requests no permission to read your health data and never does. What a saved workout deliberately leaves out is energy and distance samples. Riding a motorcycle isn't your own physical effort, and quietly inflating your move rings for a day on the bike would be a lie your Health data doesn't need.

A guided start, and notes when things change

New riders get walkthroughs — short, skippable tours of the cluster, recording and the ride history, instead of a cold start on a screen full of instruments. And when you update, TrueLean now tells you what changed on first launch, rather than leaving you to spot the new buttons yourself.

The reminder that doesn't change

TrueLean is a recreational tool for reviewing your rides — not a safety device, and its readings are estimates. Mount your phone securely, set up before you move, and never interact with the app while riding.

Shiny side up.
