Trail navigation
Import a GPX course on your phone and send it to the watch. You get a north up overview of the course, the distance left and how far off course you are. No map tiles to download.
For Garmin Instinct 2X and iPhone · Private beta
Walk up the ridge. Fly down it. One clean record.
Ridgify notices when you are hiking, flying or riding home, and saves each part on its own. Your wrist shows the route, your lift and the wind. Your phone keeps working from your pocket.
Ridgify is in private beta on TestFlight. The Garmin Instinct 2X is the first supported watch.
How a day looks
One outing, each part saved on its own
Hike up, launch, land, ride back. Ridgify spots each change and starts a new activity, so trail time and air time never blur into one file. Walking and running both count as Trail.

Stays in the track
Stays in the track
An example outing. The ride home is never a sport activity, but it stays in the full track, so you can still export the whole day as one GPX file.
What it does
Built for the ridge, the launch and the walk back
Flight display
GPS altitude, ground speed, lift and air time on one page. Use the watch's own estimate, or connect a BlueFly or SoarMate vario over Bluetooth.
Live wind
The nearest weather station on your phone and your wrist, with the age of every reading. Speed always, gust and direction when the station reports them. MetNet stations in Hungary, your saved Windy stations elsewhere.
Pocket mode
The phone app is built to keep working with the screen off. The watch shows at a glance whether the phone link is alive, plus battery and the time left on it.
Whole track as GPX
Share the full outing as one GPX file, including the ride home. Each trail and flight also stays on the watch as its own activity.
Optional live tracking
Share your position live on PureTrack and look at nearby paraglider traffic. It stays off until you start it, and you can stop it at any time.
On your wrist
Made for a small screen that has to be read at a glance
Big numbers, plain icons, one job per page. The round window shows the one value that matters on that page.
Screens from the Connect IQ simulator with example values. Light and dark themes are both included.
On your iPhone
Your field log, with no cloud in the way
Every outing saves on your phone, point by point, with the trail, flight and ride home marked on one line.
- Connect the watch and sync an outing in one tap.
- Import a GPX course and send it to the watch.
- See each outing as one line, with trail, flight and ride home marked.
- Export the whole track as GPX and share it anywhere.
Straight about limits
It tells you what it knows, and how old it is
Not a certified instrument
Ridgify does not replace a flight computer, official charts or your own judgement. Wind readings come from stations that can differ from your launch.
Every reading shows its age
Wind says how old it is. Stale or missing data is labelled on the screen, so an old number never passes for a live one.
Airspace is not live yet
The watch page is built, but the airspace service it needs is not running yet, so the page says to wait. Airspace data will be advisory, and vertical limits will stay unverified.
The watch works alone
Recording starts and saves on the watch without the phone. If the phone link drops, you lose wind updates, not your track.
Questions
Good to know
Which watches does Ridgify work with?
The Garmin Instinct 2X is the first supported watch. An Instinct 2 build exists but has not been tested yet.
Do I need my phone to record?
No. The watch records and saves on its own. The phone adds GPX import, live wind, the journal and optional live sharing.
When can I get it?
Ridgify is in private beta on TestFlight. Write to hello@ridgify.com with your iPhone and watch model to ask for an invite.
Where does my data go?
Your tracks stay on your watch and iPhone. Ridgify has no accounts, ads or analytics and runs no server that receives your tracks. A few optional features contact other services, and the privacy policy lists each one.
Is it a certified flight instrument?
No. It is an aid. Wind readings and airspace data are advisory.
Is Ridgify made by Garmin?
No. Ridgify is independent. It runs on Garmin watches through the Connect IQ platform.
