Getting started
Taawn is a training app for mountain bikers and trail riders. Taawn is currently in an early alpha phase, so expect issues. Compare your runs on the same trail section, study lines, and review timing — it is not turn-by-turn navigation and not a substitute for safety equipment.
Core concepts
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| Activity | A ride session anchored to a GPX track (from your bike computer, Strava, etc.) |
| Segment | A reference trail section: a GoPro reference video + start/end markers on the track |
| Run | Your attempt on a segment — your GoPro video matched against the reference |
| Comparison | TaawnEngine output linking your run to the segment (timing, jumps, Ghost Rider overlay) |
Typical workflow
- Export a GPX from your ride recording app or bike computer.
- Add an activity in the Taawn Android app (name, bike, GPX).
- Create a segment from that activity: upload a reference GoPro video, mark start/end frames and GPS points.
- Ride again and upload a run on that segment to compare.
Shortcut: run-only
You can skip creating your own activity/segment if a segment already exists. Discover it on the map or search, open it, and Upload Run with your GoPro video.
Web vs mobile
- Android app — record workflow: add activities, create segments, cut/mark videos, upload runs.
- Website — browse segments, maps, profiles, and this documentation. Video upload happens in the app only.
