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
Inside the editor

Why this matters
A cycling-first browser workflow
TrainCraft focuses on the practical cycling result: combine ride data with footage, check timeline alignment, choose useful telemetry, and export. Compared with traditional overlay workflows, it reduces desktop setup and keeps FIT, GPX, TCX, finished-video, and transparent-overlay options in one tool.
| Need | TrainCraft | Old tools |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Open the browser editor, add video, choose a synced ride or upload FIT/GPX/TCX. | Install and configure an older desktop overlay tool. |
