Try indoor training right now: open Moveee Indoor in your browser

The Moveee team

Free coaching · a real route for every ride

Most indoor cycling apps put a wall between you and your first ride. Download the launcher. Wait for the install. Wait for the update to the install. Reboot. Create the account, verify the email, pick the avatar's shoes. Twenty minutes later you're finally pedalling — by which point the impulse that made you want to ride has quietly wandered off.

Moveee Indoor — which we build, so read on knowing that — takes a different route: it runs entirely in your browser. There's nothing to install because the app is the web page. That means the gap between "I fancy a ride" and actually turning the pedals is about five minutes, and most of that is warming up the trainer.

Cold trainer to a real road in about five minutes

Here's the whole sequence, start to finish. Nothing is hidden in the gaps — this really is all of it.

1

Open it in Chrome or Edge

20 sec

Go to Moveee Indoor in any Chromium browser on your laptop. There's no download, no launcher, no install — the app is just the page. Not Safari or Firefox, though: pairing needs Web Bluetooth.

2

Pair your trainer

~1 min

Turn the trainer on, hit pair, and pick it from the Bluetooth list. Smart trainers (FTMS), power meters (CPS) and heart-rate straps all connect the same way. No trainer to hand? Skip straight to the next step.

3

Pick a route — or Explore

30 sec

Choose one of your saved routes to ride the real roads it follows, or pick Explore mode to roll through the world with no trainer at all. Free riding and workouts are right there too.

4

Start pedalling

instant

The world builds itself around your route while you spin up. Then it's just riding — resistance follows the real gradient, or holds your workout's watts in ERG.

5

It already counts

on finish

Stop when you're done. The ride saves with full power data, lands on your calendar and training plan, and goes to Strava in one tap if you want it there.

That's it. No step where you're staring at a progress bar, and no step where you're handing over a card number before you've even seen the thing move.

No trainer? You can still try the world today

This is the part that makes "just try it" honest rather than a slogan. Explore mode rolls you through the 3D world with no hardware connected at all. Pick a route, and you'll glide along the real roads it follows — the actual streets, buildings and terrain rebuilt from map data — with nothing plugged in.

It's the low-commitment way to answer the only question that matters at the start: does riding my own roads indoors actually appeal to me? You can decide that in a coffee break, on the laptop you already have open, before you think about trainers at all.

Before you start, you need
A laptop or desktop running Chrome or Edge
Bluetooth on — it's how the trainer pairs
A smart trainer (optional — Explore mode needs none)
A long sign-up before your first pedal stroke

This is what Explore mode shows you with nothing plugged in — a real town, rebuilt from map data. An actual in-app capture.

Setting honest expectations

Low-commitment shouldn't mean over-promised, so two caveats up front. First, it's Chrome or Edge only — any Chromium browser on Windows, macOS, Linux or Android. Safari and Firefox can't pair a trainer yet, and there's no iPhone or iPad version, because the pairing relies on Web Bluetooth, which those don't support. Second, it's alpha: young, honest about it, and you'll meet the odd rough edge. There's no racing scene yet either.

What you won't hit is a bait-and-switch. The full platform is here — ERG workouts, real-route worlds, complete power analysis, saves to your plan, one-tap Strava — and it's free while in alpha. When you do want to connect a trainer, our walk-through of pairing a smart trainer in the browser covers it, and how a browser can be a cycling trainer app explains why no install is needed at all.

The only real setup is warming up the trainer. Once it's paired, the browser does the rest.

Just open it

There's genuinely nothing to lose here — no install to undo, no subscription to cancel, no card on file. If you've got five minutes and a Chromium browser, you can be riding a real road you know, or just watching one drift past in Explore mode, before this page is cold.

Open Moveee Indoor now, in Chrome or Edge. Pair if you've got a trainer, hit Explore if you haven't, and see for yourself. It's free while in alpha, it lives in a browser tab, and the ride you do counts toward your Moveee plan just like one done outdoors. The first pedal stroke is the whole pitch.
