Who we are
RDBK.app is a free suite of digital tools for authoring roadbooks and easily using them. Track recording with audio and photo notes helps later editing; in event preparation, the Roadbook Editor is then usable by multiple authors — and much more!
RDBK.app is everything a roadbook needs, for 4×4, motorbike and bike alike — built around the open .rdbk format and grown out of years of real rally-navigation tooling.
The app
One codebase, four ways to use it: the website, an installable web app (PWA) you can add to any home screen, and the native iOS and Android apps — which add background GPS, so a recording survives a locked screen. Your roadbooks are the same everywhere.
What’s new
Full changelogEvery release and what changed in it lives on its own page, newest first. RDBK.app updates itself: the web and the installed PWA refresh on their own, and the apps ship the same version through their stores.
Our story
RDBK.app was born on the trail: riders and co-drivers who wanted a roadbook as clear as a printed one, made in minutes instead of nights, and followed with the phone already in their pocket. Every tool was first built for a real ride or a real event — recording with voice and photo notes, notes the map writes by itself, a Reader that validates by GPS, live tracking and rankings for organisers.
Today it is one suite for 4×4, motorbike, bike and running: on the web, as an installable app and natively on iOS and Android, around the open .rdbk format, online or off. Free for everyone and without ads — from the first weekend ride to a whole rally.
The team
Maurizio Andreotti
He shaped RDBK.app's tools — editor, reader, ranking and secure traces — and its design, then pushed the boundaries further: capturing voice notes and geotagged photos while recording a track, OpenRally import & export, the event management, and setting up the online community.
Álvaro Franz
The developer behind RDBK.app — the web suite, the open .rdbk format, the PHP/MariaDB back-end and the native iOS & Android apps — and a maker of mobile and remote-coding tools.
