Telemetry Overlay alternative
Telemetry Overlay alternative that runs in your browser
Telemetry Overlay is a desktop application you buy and install. TrainCraft takes the other route for cycling clips: open it in the browser, add your video and start free. It reads the GPS track from GoPro footage, or uses a FIT, GPX or TCX file or a synced ride, and exports the clip with speed, route, power and heart rate on it.
Free to start, nothing to install
GoPro camera GPS, FIT/GPX/TCX or synced rides

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.

FAQ

How is TrainCraft different from Telemetry Overlay?
Telemetry Overlay is a desktop application for Windows, macOS and Linux, sold by its developer. TrainCraft is a browser editor focused on cycling: ride files, synced rides, GoPro camera GPS and cycling metrics. Compare the feature lists before you decide; TrainCraft does not claim to replace every feature of a desktop tool.
Which camera data can TrainCraft read?
The GPS track GoPro cameras record in the video (GPS5 on HERO5 to HERO10, GPS9 on HERO11 and later). For other cameras, use a FIT, GPX or TCX file or a synced ride, which also brings power, heart rate and cadence.
Can I export without a watermark or in 4K?
Yes, on a paid plan: HD up to 4K, no TrainCraft watermark, and videos up to 5 GB.
Is TrainCraft affiliated with Telemetry Overlay or GoPro?
No. TrainCraft is an independent app. Telemetry Overlay and GoPro are names of their respective owners.
