No sensor to buy — your phone already is one. Press GO, lock the screen, put the phone in a pocket. Cado reads your pedalling from motion alone and speaks your cadence as you ride.
Free. No account. Nothing leaves your phone.
Set a target if you want coaching — 90 rpm is the default — or just ask Cado to read your cadence. The ring is the one button.
Lock the screen. An ordinary trouser or shorts pocket is all it takes — no strap, no mount. In kit, the jersey back pocket is the fallback. Your ride lives on the lock screen — cadence, state, and Stop. Where to put it ›
Drift from your band and Cado says pedal faster or pedal slower, over whatever you're listening to. Back in band, it goes quiet.
In the band, the coach is silent — you only hear about it when something needs to change. Coasting or stopped, the voice stops entirely. Cado never invents a number.
A coached ride with a target of 90 rpm, squeezed into half a minute. The quiet stretches are the point — they run much longer on the road.
Cado has no servers and no networking code. Your rides are files on your phone, in a folder you choose — yours to keep, share, or delete.
Read the privacy policy — it's short, because there's nothing to disclose.
A phone in a trouser or shorts pocket moves with every pedal stroke. Ride to work; hear your rpm.
No pocket at the thigh? In kit, the jersey back pocket works as a fallback on phones with a gyroscope — the signal is weaker there, so tell us how it goes.
Nothing to attach to a gym bike, and nothing you'd be allowed to. Pocket the phone — no pocket in gym wear? a long sock works — earbuds in, ride.
your rides are files you own — hand one to your favourite ai for a deeper look · planned: bluetooth sensor broadcast, strava export · more in the faq
You get a coach for every ride. Cado gets the thing it needs most: rides on phones and pockets it hasn't met yet. Every ride you share makes the next build better.
