Private family cycling diary
Turn every family bike ride into a private adventure diary.
Pedal Quest helps children, parents and grandparents remember their rides with routes, photos, badges and diary-style memories — without accounts, adverts, social feeds or public leaderboards.
- No sign-ups
- No adverts
- No social feeds
- Private by design
Made for real family rides
A warm adventure log, not a serious fitness app.
Pedal Quest is built for first rides, muddy shortcuts, sunny park loops, family cycle paths, little achievements and big smiles. It celebrates effort, confidence and curiosity rather than training scores or athletic comparisons.
Children can look back at where they went, who they rode with, what they saw and how the ride felt. Every ride becomes part of a private family memory book.
For young riders
What children can do
Start a ride easily
Begin tracking with one tap, then watch the route appear on Apple Maps as the ride unfolds.
See the adventure
Track distance, time and top speed in a simple, child-friendly way.
Capture memories
Take photos during the ride and save them with a friendly diary entry afterwards.
Earn badges
Unlock warm, encouraging badges for milestones, and invent custom badge ideas for a grown-up to award.
Check playful weather
See friendly local forecasts such as "watch out for puddles" or "bring your water bottle".
Make it their own
Choose themed backgrounds including Sky, Sunset, Forest, Underwater, Dinosaur, Space and Racing Track.
✨ Try the theme picker in the top right corner to preview every theme on this page.
For grown-ups
Privacy, safety and simple controls.
Pedal Quest is designed around families who want the memories without the noise. There are no accounts, adverts, analytics SDKs, third-party trackers, social feeds or public leaderboards.
- Ride data stays on your device and syncs privately through your own iCloud when signed in.
- An optional grown-up PIN supports Face ID or Touch ID.
- Hold-to-confirm controls help prevent accidental destructive actions.
- Photos can stay inside Pedal Quest, be saved manually, or auto-save to Photos.
- Weather can be turned off entirely in the grown-up area.
- A live Permissions hub shows exactly what the app can access.
- Pedal Quest works offline, with iCloud sync catching up when available.
- British English throughout.
No child phone needed
Built around real family life.
Many children do not have their own iPhone yet. Pedal Quest works around that. Pop a parent's iPhone into a backpack, use an iPad, or ride alongside with your own device. The diary still belongs to the child.
The point is the ride, the memory and the confidence it creates — not whose device recorded it.
Ride together
Optional ride-buddy pairing.
Families with two devices can turn on ride-buddy pairing in the grown-up area. It works over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, is encrypted, does not use the internet, and is off by default.
When riding side by side, both riders can see each other's trail live.
Accessible by design
Native, readable and family-friendly.
Pedal Quest is built natively for iPhone and iPad, with support for Dark Mode, Dynamic Type, reduced motion preferences, clear contrast, VoiceOver-friendly labelling and British English throughout.
Coming to the App Store
Pedal Quest is made for iPhone and iPad.
Designed for iOS and iPadOS 26 or later, Pedal Quest gives families a gentle, private way to turn bike rides into memories they can look back on with pride.
