Launcher, notification and launch screen on both platforms, all generated from the native app's design sources rather than redrawn. Android uses the adaptive icon files verbatim from the native app: foreground, monochrome and the #101418 background colour. That matters because the adaptive foreground draws its ring at r=32, the corrected radius that survives the launcher's circular mask -- the first native version used r=43 and the mask cropped the ring clean off. iOS gets the full-bleed r=43 artwork instead, which is right there: iOS applies a rounded superellipse rather than a circle crop, so the wider ring fits. All 15 sizes rendered from the SVG, and the 1024 verified to have no alpha channel, which the App Store rejects. The notification icon is ic_stat_rippr, a white silhouette on transparency. Android masks status bar icons to a solid shape, so pointing this at the colour launcher icon would render a featureless white blob. Launch screens were the generated white, which flashes before a dark app on every cold start. Both now use the app's own tarmac colour with the route mark centred. Verified on the Android emulator rather than assumed: the launcher shows the route mark with its orange accent intact, resource 0x7f07007c resolves to drawable/ic_stat_rippr, and the notification reads "Rippr is recording" with a clean silhouette. The run also recorded 23 points into a real trip -- the first time this port has captured anything on Android. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Rippr
A GPS ride recorder for motorcycles, on Android and iOS. Records telemetry into a local SQLite database, renders the traversed path on a map afterwards, and exports to GPX/GeoJSON.
Built for one specific use: hit start, put the phone in a pocket, ride, hit stop. Most of the design follows from that.
This is a Flutter port of the native Android app in ~/dojo/rippr (v1 → v2.0.1). The port
is feature-complete; see docs/port/PARITY-AUDIT.md for
exactly what is verified and what is not.
Flutter 3.47 · Dart 3.13 Android minSdk 26 · iOS 12+
~4,600 lines Dart 175 tests (171 unit/widget, 4 integration)
Status
| Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| GPS recording, foreground on Android / background mode on iOS | Implemented; not yet ridden |
| Trips with pause / resume / stop / discard | Working, 50 tests |
| Live speed + elapsed clock | Working |
| Path on OpenStreetMap, per-segment, speed-coloured | Working; colouring unverifiable without a real ride |
| Ride statistics + charts | Working; bit-identical to the Kotlin original |
| Rename / delete / merge rides | Working |
| GPX + GeoJSON export | Working; byte-identical to the Kotlin original |
| Upload to a REST endpoint | Implemented, no UI (as in the native app) |
| Notification actions (Pause/Resume in the shade) | Absent — the one capability lost |
| Live map while recording · group ride | Deferred to v3 |
The port has never recorded a real ride. No simulator produces velocity, so max speed, moving time, speed colouring, elevation against real GPS error, battery, and iOS stationary suspension are all unverified. That is docs/port/REAL-RIDE-CHECKLIST.md, and it is the next thing that should happen.
Quick start
Requires JDK 17–21 for Android (AGP rejects 25) and Xcode for iOS.
flutter pub get
dart run build_runner build # Drift codegen
flutter analyze && flutter test
flutter test integration_test -d <device-id>
flutter run
Watch the disk. A full dual-platform build cycle costs roughly 10 GB, and the Android
emulator needs 7.4 GB free just to boot. Run flutter clean before booting it.
Cross-language parity
The strongest guarantee in this repo. It compiles the real Kotlin sources from the native app and diffs them against the Dart port across twenty fixtures:
brew install kotlin
JAVA_HOME=<jdk-21> ./tool/parity/run.sh
Everything matches to the last digit — including the elevation accumulator at
38.959594555022136 and byte-identical GPX/GeoJSON. The single expected difference is
speed-derived values, where Kotlin's 32-bit Float widens with artefacts Dart's uniform
double does not reproduce.

Two bugs this port found in the native app
Crash recovery measured the dead time as distance. restoreAfterProcessDeath says it
resumes into a new segment; it actually adopts the segment a crash left open, so the
authoritative recomputation measures straight through the gap. Reproduced at 111 km of
phantom distance. Fixed here.
The elevation regression guard passes on seed luck. On a shared fixture the algorithm
yields ~39 m, which would fail the native test's own 35 m bound. It passes only because
kotlin.random.Random(42) happens to draw a benign sequence.
Before shipping
- Switch the application id from
com.rippr.portback tocom.rippr. The suffix exists so the native app can be installed alongside during the port — keep it until the real ride comparison is done. - Replace the default Flutter app icon; the native artwork is in
~/dojo/rippr/design/. - Build and test a release build. Everything so far has been debug.
