TrackMyHacks bridges the gap between driver visibility and rider vulnerability.
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.
TrackMyHacks isn't just about being seen — it's your riding companion too. Every hack gets mapped and logged automatically, so your rides build into a history you can look back on, not just a safety feature you forget is running.
Your route, distance, time and pace are all recorded automatically as you ride — no need to start or stop anything extra.
Every hack is saved to your own log, so you can revisit favourite routes and see how far you've ridden over time.
Add every horse you ride to your stable, then simply choose who you're riding before you set off on a hack.
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."
