TrackMyHacks closes that gap. The moment a driver gets close to a horse and rider, their phone speaks up — automatically, in real time, with no one having to spot anyone first.
Drivers routinely pass horses at 60mph+ — most have never even heard of the advice to pass wide and slow. Riders have no way to warn an approaching car that they're on the road just ahead. Hi-viz and hand signals only work if someone happens to be looking. There's currently no way for a phone in a rider's pocket to talk to a driver.
No extra action needed from rider or driver. It just works quietly in the background, on every ride.
When a rider starts a hack, their location broadcasts automatically in the background. They pocket their phone and ride — nothing else needed.
Any nearby driver with the app gets a clear spoken warning as soon as they come within 250m, plus an on-screen Acknowledge button.
The app knows whether a rider is on a road and adjusts accordingly — riders in a field won't trigger a false alert.
Open TrackMyHacks and tap Start Hack. Live GPS broadcasts in the background — pocket the phone and ride normally.
When a driver using the app comes within 250m, the geofencing layer detects the encounter automatically.
The driver's phone speaks a clear audio warning right away, repeating until they acknowledge or the rider is out of range.
"I'm not a rider myself, but some of my closest friends are — and I'm behind the wheel on these country roads all the time. Every blind bend is a moment I could be the one who doesn't see them in time. TrackMyHacks is the warning I wanted to give them automatically, so neither of us has to rely on luck."
