Cyclemetry

Open-source desktop app for creating cycling telemetry video overlays from GPX data.
Import a ride, design your overlay in a live editor, and export a finished video — no subscription, no cloud.

What it does

Cyclemetry reads a GPX file and renders cycling metrics — speed, power, heart rate, elevation, cadence, gradient, and live map position — directly into your video as a customizable overlay. The output is a standalone video file ready to upload to YouTube.

Key details:

• Drag-and-drop overlay editor with a live preview canvas
• Template system: start from a built-in template or build your own from scratch
• Native Rust rendering pipeline — fast
• FFmpeg-based export at your chosen resolution
• Runs entirely on your machine — no account, no internet connection, no recurring cost
