Having a feature is one thing. Using it every day is another.

A table shows you which features an app offers. How they work together only shows in everyday use. Here are three examples from Velopit.

One wheelset. Two bikes.

You move your wheelset from the gravel bike to the road bike. The kilometres stay with the components, and the fitting history shows you when each part was on which bike.

Velopit history of a wheel: removed from the Grail CF SLX 8 Di2 and from the Agree C:62 SLT, with its mileage carried over each time
Velopit workshop session on a desktop with tasks for two bikes, the session progress and the planned consumables

One workshop day for several bikes.

Wax the chain, swap the brake pads and change the cassette on the second bike. With a workshop session you plan the jobs, then log what you have done.

Your setup. No longer lost in your notes.

Saddle height, tyre pressure and suspension settings. Velopit saves your setups right on the bike, so you can always find them again.
