Version 5.0 Introduces BikeControl Pro

BikeControl 5.0 is here

BikeControl 5.0 is one of the biggest updates since the very first release.

With this version, BikeControl Pro is officially launching — introducing a new app design, powerful new features, cross-platform licensing, cloud synchronization, and advanced button customization.

Most importantly:

Your existing purchase keeps almost all features.

If you already own the full/base version:

• You keep all core functionality (controllers, trainers, keymaps, etc.)

Only one feature is now part of BikeControl Pro:

• Device OS control

Everything else remains available at no additional cost.

BikeControl Pro adds additional functionality on top — and full/base version owners receive the first month of Pro for free.

Introducing BikeControl Pro

BikeControl Pro is designed for users who want more flexibility, automation, and cross-device integration - while supporting the ongoing development of the project.

Depending on your country, the subscription costs less than a coffee (around 2,50€/$ per month).

Why Pro?

BikeControl started as a small tool to improve indoor cycling control. It has grown into a cross-platform ecosystem with support for multiple hardware types and trainer apps.

BikeControl Pro helps:

• Maintain long-term development
• Fund cross-platform infrastructure
• Continue adding advanced automation features
• Keep improving hardware compatibility

And again:
Full/Base version owners keep 99% of what they already paid for — and get their first month of Pro free.

What you get with BikeControl Pro

Cross-platform license
Use the same subscription on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS — no additional purchases required.
Cloud sync & backup for keymaps
Synchronize and restore your keymap settings across all devices.
Advanced button logic

In BikeControl you could only assign a single action (single click or long click) per controller button. With BikeControl Pro you can now individually configure single click, long press, and double click actions.

Example:

• Single click → Shift gear
• Long press → Steer
• Double click → Trigger custom action

Meaning your two-button devices can now support up to 6 different actions.

System command execution
• Start any command or shortcut: (record screen video, open apps, automate workflows, and much more). Available on , , with limited support
• New dedicated screenshot action that captures the current screen and saves it directly to your chosen folder. Available on and
• Open Assistant directly from your controller. Available on .

• And much more to come.
