DashWare alternative for cycling
DashWare alternative for cycling video overlays
DashWare-style telemetry overlays are still useful for cycling videos, but modern riders often need less setup. TrainCraft focuses on the cycling case: ride footage plus a FIT, GPX, or TCX file, synced and exported in the browser.
Synced activity or FIT/GPX/TCX upload
Auto-sync first, manual timeline control when needed
Free basic overlays, paid higher-resolution exports

Why this matters
The old tools left a practical gap
Riders search for VIRB Edit, DashWare, FIT video overlay, GoPro GPS overlay, DJI GPS overlay, and Insta360 cycling overlay because they want one concrete outcome: speed, power, route, and elevation on top of a clip. TrainCraft targets that outcome without depending on abandoned desktop software.
