Availability and beta Open this page →
Is TerraFlo the same as TerraFlow Geomatics or Orlauf Terra?
No. TerraFlo (terraflo.fit) is an indoor training app from Hidden Mesa Labs, LLC. It is not TerraFlow Geomatics (terraflow.ca), a surveying company, and it is not related to Orlauf Terra treadmills.
Which devices come first?
The beta is on iPhone (or iPad) and Apple TV. Watch companions are in active development. Android is coming soon.
Do I need an account?
You can browse public route and product information on the site. In the app, an account is needed for activities, history, publishing, subscriptions, and connected-service sync.
Routes and playback Open this page →
What makes TerraFlo different from a normal workout video?
Most apps replay a workout. TerraFlo replays a place. Route video is paired with GPS, so the road, the metrics, and your effort stay tied together as you walk, run, or ride.
Are there gentle routes, or only climbs?
Yes. There are flat walks, listed separately from climbs. A boardwalk walk uses the same start as a run.
Does the video keep up if I run or ride fast?
The video speeds up and slows down with you. Exact feel depends on the route footage and the telemetry your equipment provides.
Can I use my own music?
Yes. If you already have music or an audiobook playing, TerraFlo leaves it. If nothing is playing, it starts your Apple Music playlist.
Equipment and setup Open this page →
Will TerraFlo work with my treadmill?
If your treadmill connects over Bluetooth, TerraFlo will pair it and learn it, including models that are not listed on the brand pages. When you pair, TerraFlo discovers the controls, the signals, and the limits, and it keeps learning that setup over time. Exact incline or speed control still depends on what that unit exposes. Two machines of the same brand can differ. You start the belt; TerraFlo never does.
What equipment does TerraFlo support?
TerraFlo pairs Bluetooth fitness equipment: treadmills, smart trainers, and sensors such as heart-rate monitors, cadence sensors, power meters, foot pods, and watches. If it connects over Bluetooth, TerraFlo will pair it and learn it. Headphones and speakers are not fitness equipment. Incline and resistance still depend on what that unit exposes.
How does TerraFlo learn what my machine can do?
When you pair over Bluetooth, TerraFlo discovers the controls the machine accepts, the signals it sends, and the limits it reports. It keeps learning that setup over time, so the next session starts closer to how the machine actually behaves. You do not fill in a spec sheet. A treadmill only moves when you start it at the console.
What if my equipment is not FTMS or not on a brand page?
FTMS is one way a treadmill or trainer talks over Bluetooth. NordicTrack and ProForm consoles run iFIT, not FTMS. If your machine connects over Bluetooth, TerraFlo will pair it and learn it even when it is not on a brand page. Incline, resistance, and other controls still depend on what that unit exposes.
Safety Open this page →
Will TerraFlo start my treadmill belt?
No. You start the treadmill. TerraFlo never starts or resumes the belt.
What happens before TerraFlo controls my equipment?
You review and accept a safety step before TerraFlo sends its first control command, control stays inside the ranges your machine reports, and an emergency stop remains available throughout.
Can I use TerraFlo for flat or constrained sessions?
Yes. Gentle routes stay visible, and you can turn route-driven incline off mid-session.
Apple TV and large screens Open this page →
Is TerraFlo built for TV workouts?
Yes. The TV is the workout screen. The route fills it, and you can read speed and heart rate from a treadmill or trainer.
How do I sign in on a TV?
Without typing a password on the remote: the TV shows a QR code that finishes sign-in on your phone, with a short backup code as a fallback.
Can TerraFlo promise 4K video?
Not yet. Route video uses adaptive streaming that scales to your screen and connection, and TerraFlo will publish exact video-quality claims only once they are verified for the current catalog.
Studio and publishing Open this page →
What can I do in Studio?
Studio is the creator workflow: import GPS video, align footage, design overlays, then publish a route or export a finished video.
What footage works?
Footage recorded with GPS — like GoPro clips — works best. Studio aligns clips to the GPS track, stitches multi-clip rides in order, flags GPS gaps, and lets you trim or heal interruptions.
Can my route become someone else's indoor workout?
When publishing is enabled, a reviewed route can become a walk, run, or ride someone else does indoors.
Exports and data Open this page →
Can workouts sync to Strava or health apps?
Completed sessions can export to Strava, Apple Health, Health Connect, or TCX where supported. Strava uploads are honestly labeled as virtual indoor workouts with the route name attached.
What about TrainingPeaks or Garmin Connect?
TerraFlo does not offer direct TrainingPeaks or Garmin Connect integrations today. You can export a completed session as a TCX file and import it manually into platforms that accept TCX.
Is my workout data public?
No. Completed workouts are private by default. Sharing is an explicit action you take per workout, and shared summaries exclude detailed telemetry and health metrics.
