Live Gradient

Barometric pressure fused with GPS altitude through a least-squares regression over a rolling window. You see the grade change in real time — before your legs do.

Elevation & Gain

Current altitude from the barometer plus noise-filtered cumulative elevation gain. No phantom climbing from sensor drift.

Smart Auto-Stop

Moving time pauses automatically when you stop at lights or junctions. Resumes the instant you roll. Your stats stay honest.

HealthKit Integration

Every ride is saved as a full workout with GPS route, elevation gain, and heart rate — viewable in Apple Health and the iOS companion app.

🌐

Standalone GPS

No phone needed. Vadient runs entirely on your Apple Watch with direct GPS and barometer access. Leave the phone at home.

Minimal by Design

A single screen with six metrics. No menus to fumble with mid-climb. Tap to pause. Tap to resume. That's it.

Precision Data

The road ahead, quantified

Vadient calculates gradient from barometric pressure using least-squares regression — the same math used in scientific instruments. Smoothed, filtered, and updated every three seconds.

  • 15-second rolling regression window
  • Barometric + GPS altitude fusion
  • 2-foot noise gate on elevation gain
  • ±30% gradient clamp filters sensor glitches
