Support
Sykla is in open beta. The fastest way to reach us — for bugs, questions, or ideas — is email: blake@thepayhive.com. A human reads every message.
Common questions
- Heart rate shows "No sensor". Open Settings (gear icon) → Devices and scan with your strap awake. Sykla pairs standard Bluetooth heart-rate sensors (Polar, Garmin, Wahoo, etc.).
- Start button is disabled. Sykla needs location permission to record — iOS Settings → Sykla → Location → While Using.
- Workouts aren't in Apple Health. Grant Health access when prompted, or enable it later in iOS Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → Sykla.
- Where is my data? On your phone. Export any effort as GPX from its detail screen. There is no cloud copy in the beta.
- Distance seems off. Accuracy is the thing we obsess over — if a known route measures wrong, email us the GPX export; real-world traces are exactly what tunes the pipeline.
Beta expectations
- Accounts, sync, and racing other people are in development — today's beta is single-device.
- App updates ship frequently; your local data survives updates.
- Found something broken? Screenshots + what you expected vs. what happened = the perfect bug report.
