The Haremoto guide
Everything Haremoto does, and how to plan any ride around the weather.
Getting started
Haremoto is a free weather planner for your rides and drives β it works right in your browser, no account needed (and you can install it as an app). You give it a route and a departure time, and it shows the hour-by-hour weather and road conditions at points along your exact route, at the moment you'll actually be there.
There are three ways to enter a route:
- Type From β To β start typing and pick from the suggestions; add intermediate stops, or tap π to use your current location as the start.
- Paste a Google Maps link β a directions link or a short share link (
maps.app.goo.gl/β¦). Multi-stop routes work.
- Import a GPX file β from Garmin, TomTom, Calimoto, Kurviger, etc. (up to 8 waypoints are sampled).
Then pick your departure day and hour, optionally open Ride options to choose your vehicle, checkpoint spacing and break style, and hit Create report.
Every feature
π¦οΈ
Hour-by-hour route weather
Temperature, rain probability, wind, gusts and visibility at each checkpoint β timed to when you'll pass it, not a single city forecast.
π£οΈ
Dry Road Score
An estimate of whether the asphalt will be likely dry, possibly damp or likely wet at each point β more on this below.
π§
Live road closures
Real, current road closures on your exact route, shown in the report and on the map β so a closed mountain pass doesn't surprise you.
π‘οΈ
Ride comfort
A "how it will feel" read for the whole trip β from very cold to very hot β based on feels-like temperature, wind and humidity.
π
Any vehicle
Motorcycle, scooter, car, van or bicycle β pick yours under Ride options and the warnings adapt: crosswind for vans, aquaplaning and fog for cars, grip and cold for riders. Riders with heated gear can say so, and comfort adjusts.
π
Best-day picker
Automatically compares the next 7 days for the same route and ranks them by rain and road dryness. Tap a day to re-plan it.
β±οΈ
Realistic timing, with breaks
We slow the engine's optimistic times for traffic and twisty mountain roads, and add rest stops (Minimal / Relaxed / Touring) so arrival times β and the weather read at them β match reality.
πΎ
Saved rides
Save a report and reopen it anytime from π My rides β no account needed. See Saved rides & alerts.
π
Monitor β daily weather digest
Tap Monitor on a report and get a short daily Telegram update on how the weather for that ride is evolving, until the day you leave.
β°οΈ
Mountain-altitude flag
Checkpoints above ~1000 m are flagged, because mountain weather changes fast β re-check before you ride.
π§οΈ
Live rain radar
Toggle a live precipitation-radar layer on the map to see what's actually falling right now along the route.
π
Daylight window
Sunrise and sunset at the destination, with a warning if your realistic arrival lands after dark.
π΄
Food stops
Places to eat near each checkpoint, loaded automatically β tap one to open it in Google Maps.
β¬οΈ
GPX in & out
Import a GPX route; export your planned route (with weather notes) back to GPX for your sat-nav.
π
Share link & image
Share a plan as a link that opens instantly for friends, or save a clean image for the group chat.
π‘
Telegram live tracking
Arm tracking, share your Live Location with the bot, and get a DM when rain or wet roads are coming up ahead β see the Live tracking section.
β‘
EV route & charging planner
A second tool, made for electric cars: chargers along your route, charging stops, time and cost β with weather-aware range. See the EV planner.
π
English & Romanian
Switch language any time from the EN/RO toggle in the header.
How the Dry Road Score works
Rain in the forecast is one thing β wet asphalt is what actually puts a bike down. The Dry Road Score estimates the road surface at each checkpoint by combining:
- rainfall in the hours before you arrive (recent history + forecast),
- the drying power since the last rain β sun, wind, temperature and humidity,
- soil moisture, and altitude/season (high, shaded mountain roads dry slowly).
The result is π’ likely dry, π‘ possibly damp or π΄ likely wet, with a short "why". It's an estimate, not a guarantee β treat it as a planning aid.
Saved rides & weather alerts
Planned a ride for the weekend? Don't let the forecast drift without you noticing:
- πΎ Save the ride β when you leave a report for an upcoming ride, Haremoto offers to save it (or tap πΎ Save in the bottom bar). Reopen it anytime from π My rides in the header β no account needed, it's remembered on your device.
- π Monitor β tap Monitor on the report and the Telegram bot sends you a short daily digest of how that ride's weather is evolving, until departure day.
- π± In the Android app, saved rides go further: you get a notification when the weather for your ride genuinely changes (better or worse), and a short briefing about an hour before you leave. Pro can also report each five-point rain-probability changeβincluding 0% to 5%βwithout hiding a later safety warning.
Your account & Haremoto Pro
You don't need an account for anything above. Signing in (the π€ icon, with Google) makes your rides follow you: saved rides sync across your devices, and your save limit grows (3 without an account β 7 signed in).
What stays Free
Route reports, exact-route weather checkpoints, Dry Road Score, seven-day comparison, GPX/share/image tools, saved-ride monitoring, the EV planner, Ride Check, planned Start Ride, destination-free Ride Now, background GPS/recovery and core weather alerts all remain Free. A Free account also includes two Garage motorcycles and their five latest maintenance events.
Haremoto Pro is the optional subscription that keeps the free tool free β and unlocks the power features:
- β Best time to leave β scans your whole day and finds the driest departure slot; one tap re-plans the ride for it.
- π Multi-day tours β plan a trip day by day, see every day's weather at a glance, open any day's full report, and get change alerts for the whole tour.
- ποΈ Scenic routing β avoid motorways and take the back roads.
- π‘ Watch my ride β a live link where family or friends can follow you along the route.
- βοΈ Custom alerts β choose your daily-digest hour, plus more frequent re-checks in the final hours before departure.
- π¦ Weather loop β choose from one to eight hours and create a return-to-start ride that compares forecast corridors, with an optional curvy-road and avoid-motorway preference.
- β Weather Escape β compare a materially drier corridor from a planned report or planned-ride weather alert. Apply it to Ride Mode and open the same corridor in Google Maps, or use Waze's next-dry-waypoint and final-destination links.
- β Offline Ride Packs β keep a planned route, checkpoint forecast and recovery metadata on the phone. Forecasts show when they were saved and may be stale while offline; map-provider tiles are not copied.
- β‘ EV calibration β your real consumption and battery health, saved to your account (see the EV planner below).
- π Ride dynamics & history β mounted-phone lean, acceleration/braking/cornering estimates, elevation, replay and the detailed ride logbook.
- Garage & maintenance history β Free accounts can keep two motorcycles; Pro expands this to ten and retains the complete service history. A default bike is linked to new rides automatically.
- Up to 50 saved rides, compared with 7 for a signed-in Free account.
Subscribe and manage the subscription from the π€ account menu on the website β cancel anytime and Pro stays active until the period you paid for ends. (In the Android app, Pro is purchased and managed on haremoto.com.)
Live tracking on Telegram
Most weather apps can't track you in the background from a browser. Haremoto uses Telegram instead:
- Create a report, then tap π‘ Live tracking and open @Haremoto_bot.
- Tap Start, then share your Live Location for the trip.
- As you ride, the bot estimates your arrival at upcoming checkpoints (so breaks are handled automatically) and DMs you if rain or wet roads are coming up.
- Send /status any time to see the forecast at the next checkpoints; /stop ends tracking.
The Android app has this built in: tap Start ride and it follows the trip with GPS and warns you as native notifications β no Telegram needed.
Start Ride, Ride Now & Ride Check in the Android app
- Start Ride follows a route you planned. The focused cockpit shows the map, route/detour state, progress and only the next useful weather leg.
- Ride Now records wherever you decide to go, without setting a destination. After about a minute it checks your current location if direction is still unclear; once your heading is stable it checks the projected weather roughly 15 and 30 minutes ahead, then repeats about every 15 minutes while you keep a similar direction.
- Ride Check is a free preflight for precise GPS, foreground-service background recording, notification delivery (with a real test), battery/heat, Android battery restrictions, offline storage, sensors, saved calibration and account/Pro state. Blue means information/not yet applicable, green is verified, amber needs attention and red is a confirmed failure. The storage row performs a real write test instead of trusting Android's sometimes-wrong free-space report. It does not ask for permanent background location.
- You can minimize the cockpit without stopping the ride. Use the compact Return to ride controlβor tap Ride Now/Start Ride againβto return. Recording/GPS/Sensors chips and the phone/server save line show whether data is healthy.
- The compact weather ribbon shows the next hour without filling the cockpit. Native alerts can use distinct haptics and optional spoken summaries while Maps or Waze is in front.
- When weather changes, open Review to see why, locate where it begins, find nearby fuel/cafΓ©/shelter, mute weather alerts for 30 minutes or keep the current route. Planned Pro rides can also compare a drier route; applying a Maps/Waze link updates Haremoto first so both apps follow the same corridor.
- End ride offers three choices: End and save, End and don't save, or Keep riding. If the internet is unavailable, the screen still closes and a saved ride finishes uploading automatically after reconnecting. An interrupted ride can be recovered for up to seven days after its latest sample.
- For Pro ride dynamics, mount the phone securely. A trusted calibration persists between rides; automatic calibration waits for a stable mounted phone, Calibrate now remains available, and first movement supplies a filtered fallback if calibration was forgotten. Ordinary holder/engine vibration is filtered.
- During a break, GPS/weather recovery continues but lean/G is paused while stationary. After a confirmed stop and sustained mount-position change, Haremoto waits for a stable remount or manual calibration before recording dynamics again; earlier peaks are preserved.
- Lean and G-force figures are mounted-phone estimates recorded only with eligible moving GPSβnot competition, CAN-bus or laboratory measurements. Low battery or high phone temperature can temporarily switch to GPS-only mode so route/weather recording continues safely.
- After saving, the logbook explains telemetry coverage and gaps, marks weather/detour events on the route, highlights curved/smooth/continuous sections and supports private notes plus up to three photos stored only on that device.
The EV route & charging planner
Haremoto also has a free planner for electric cars, at haremoto.com/ev. Give it a route and it shows:
- Chargers along the way β with connector types, power and live availability where the network reports it.
- A charging plan β where to stop, how long to charge, roughly what it costs, and the battery you'll arrive with.
- Weather-aware range β cold, wind, speed and climbs all shrink real range; the plan accounts for them.
Pick your car from the list β the consumption figures are realistic, real-world values, not brochure numbers. Car not in the list? Choose Custom, enter its specs, give it a name and save it β it stays in your vehicle list for next time.
Use it as an app
- Install from your browser β on Android/Chrome choose Install app from the menu; on iPhone tap Share β Add to Home Screen. You get a full-screen app that's always up to date.
- The Android app β the production release adds planned Start Ride, destination-free Ride Now, Ride Check, background GPS/weather alerts, saved-ride push, crash/offline recovery and optional Pro ride dynamics. Availability on a device still depends on the active Google Play rollout.
- Navigation handoff β after a planned ride starts recording, choose Google Maps, Waze or stay in Haremoto. If you stay, the cockpit's Navigation button can open the choice again at any time. Haremoto remains active in the background. Maps starts from the current position and receives the remaining corridor; Waze receives the destination and can choose a different road, which Haremoto handles as a detour.
Language & privacy
Use EN / RO / ES to change language; the choice is remembered and active planning state is preserved. Optional, self-hosted Umami analytics loads only after consent. Haremoto records aggregate product events such as a plan being generated or a ride starting/ending, using coarse categories only. Analytics events never include coordinates, origin/destination, route names, account identity, lean angles, G-force values or other ride telemetry. You can change the choice from Cookie settings in the footer.
The native Android app also sends essential, privacy-filtered stability reports for crashes, ANRs, WebView failures and keyboard/focus loops. They use a pseudonymous install ID, are retained for up to 30 days and never include typed text, field values, coordinates, route/sensor data, email or account identity. This reliability logging is separate from optional Umami analytics.
Accuracy & limits
Everything here is a planning estimate from third-party data (Geoapify, OpenStreetMap, Open-Meteo, MET Norway, TomTom, Open Charge Map). Times assume normal riding; weather is a forecast and can change, especially in the mountains. Haremoto is not a navigation app β don't operate it while riding. Always check official sources and ride to the conditions.
