Turn your phone into a powerful magnifier
Use your phone as a real measuring tool
Whether you’re biking through the city, driving on the highway or just walking and curious about your pace, this app transforms your iPhone into a digital dashboard for live speed tracking.
It uses your phone’s GPS to calculate and display your current speed instantly on screen.
The app is accurate, responsive, and lightweight, making it the perfect tool for anyone who moves and wants to know how fast they’re going. With a clean design and real-time data, it’s ideal for drivers, cyclists, runners, skaters, and even casual walkers.
How the GPS speedometer works
Once the app is installed, it uses the GPS sensor built into your phone to detect your movement. Unlike old-school analog devices, this app doesn’t need any external hardware or setup. Just open it, give permission to access location, and you’ll immediately see your speed displayed in real time.
The speed is measured in your preferred unit—kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph)—and updates live as you move. You can even:
- Switch units instantly
- View average and top speed
- Monitor speed history over your trip
- Set a max speed warning
- Use fullscreen mode for better readability while driving
Whether you’re walking, cycling, or riding in a car, the app adjusts to your pace automatically.
Ideal for any mode of transport
This app isn’t just for drivers. It’s designed for anyone who moves:
- Drivers: Perfect for cars without working speedometers or for monitoring actual speed accuracy.
- Motorcyclists: Easy to mount and see your current speed while riding.
- Cyclists: Track real-time speed without needing extra devices or bike computers.
- Runners and walkers: Get insights into your pace and performance during outdoor activity.
- Electric scooter or skateboard users: See how fast you’re going at a glance.
Having a speedometer on your phone is useful for personal tracking, safety awareness, and even entertainment. And because the app is digital, it’s always up to date and never needs calibration.
Why use a phone-based speedometer
There are many reasons to replace or complement your vehicle’s built-in speed display with an app like this:
- Backup solution: In case your car’s speedometer fails or is inaccurate.
- Better visibility: Large digital numbers on your phone can be easier to read.
- Multi-vehicle use: Use it in cars, bikes, scooters—no installation required.
- Pace control: Keep a steady speed during workouts or commutes.
- Portable and personal: Works the same on any phone you own or share.
Plus, because it’s app-based, you benefit from frequent updates, visual customization, and expanded functionality not found in standard dashboards.
Simple interface made for quick use
The interface is designed for clarity. The speed is displayed prominently in large digits, with optional units and additional stats shown below. You won’t need to dig through menus or deal with distractions.
All controls are accessible with one or two taps. Switch units, reset the average speed, or activate full screen mode while moving. For drivers, the app offers landscape support, so you can mount your phone in the car and read your speed at a glance.
No unnecessary animations or clutter. Just real data, in real time, in a clean format that works even under sunlight or at night.
Secure private and free from distractions
One of the greatest strengths of this app is its focus on privacy and simplicity. While many apps collect data or require accounts, this speedometer keeps things straightforward:
- No login required: You don’t need to register or create an account to start using it.
- No unnecessary permissions: It only asks for location access to calculate speed, nothing else.
- No personal tracking: The app doesn’t store your routes or send your data to the cloud.
- Ad free experience: No annoying pop-ups while you’re driving or exercising.
Whether you’re using it in your car, on your bike, or while running, you can trust that it’s doing its job quietly in the background—without tracking your personal information or slowing you down.
Lightweight smooth and battery friendly
Unlike heavy apps that drain your battery or lag in low-signal areas, this app is designed to be fast and power-efficient.
- Quick launch: Opens immediately and begins tracking speed without delay.
- Minimal system impact: Uses only the GPS module and basic visuals—no resource-hungry extras.
- Battery optimized: Perfect for long trips, workouts, or commutes.
- Offline functionality: Works without an internet connection once installed.
Even on older iPhones, performance remains smooth and consistent. The app doesn’t need constant updates or background processes, so it stays efficient and ready whenever you are.
What users are saying
The app has earned a solid reputation thanks to its clean functionality and accurate results. Here’s what users often say in reviews:
- “Perfect for my old car with a broken speedometer. I just mount my phone and drive.”
- “Clean interface. I use it every day while biking and it’s super reliable.”
- “No ads no nonsense. Just what I needed to check my pace while jogging.”

These comments confirm what the app delivers: reliability, usability, and peace of mind—all in a simple package that just works.
