[Self-Promotion]: DriveTrack — automatic drive tracking, route maps & driving score (Free, iOS)

DriveTrack — automatic drive tracking, route maps & driving score (Free, iOS)

Hey all — I built DriveTrack, an app that automatically tracks your drives and turns them into route maps, a driving score, and stats you can actually see trends in. Just shipped the iOS version after running Android-only for a while.

What it does:

  • 🔵 Starts itself (powered by iOS Shortcuts you can use your different triggers as well) — connects to your car's Bluetooth and begins recording automatically, even if the app's been killed in the background. No app to open before you drive.
  • 🗺️ Speed-mapped routes — see your exact path color-coded from calm green to hard red, with harsh braking/acceleration/cornering events pinned on the map
  • 🏆 A driving score you can trust — smoothness, cornering, consistency, and real speed-limit compliance roll into one score per trip
  • 🅿️ Never lose your car — parking spot saved automatically the moment you stop, with walking directions back
  • 🔥 Streaks & leaderboards — keep a driving streak alive, compare with friends or globally
  • 📤 Share any trip — send a trip as a link, no account or app install needed for the recipient to view it
  • 🔒 Your data stays yours — everything lives in a local database on your phone, nothing uploaded unless you choose to share a link

Free, no account required to use it.

📱 App Store

🤖 Also on Google Play if you're on Android

Happy to answer questions — this is a solo side project so feedback genuinely shapes what gets built next.

[App] [Promo] I built an Android app that automatically records every drive you take, no need to start or stop anything

I've always wished Google Maps had a timeline that simply showed every drive I actually took.

Not the route it suggested.

The route I ended up driving.

So over the past couple of months I built DriveTrack.

It works by pairing with your car's Bluetooth once. After that, whenever your phone connects to your car, it automatically starts recording the trip, and stops when you disconnect. No buttons to press.

Some things it tracks:

• Full GPS route

• Distance, duration and average/max speed

• Moving vs stopped time

• Elevation changes

• Weekly, monthly and lifetime stats

• All data stays on your device

• Share to your friends by generating an image or a link with encrypted data

I originally built it just for myself because I enjoy driving and wanted a history of everywhere I'd been. Especially that time I did Vienna to Albania in one sitting and wanted to see what route did i take since I had to drive a lot during nighttime and I had no idea what route I was taking and Google Maps because it gives the best route everytime wasn't showing the route I did take. It ended up becoming something my friends & family found useful too.

I'd genuinely love to hear what features you'd want in an app like this or any feedback on the idea.

[App][Promo] Track your car drives like a run workout: DriveTrack

I love cars, and after almost every drive I'd find myself asking the same question:

"Where did I actually go?"

Not the route Google Maps suggested. The route I actually drove—the detours, the scenic roads, the shortcuts, and those spontaneous turns you only make because you felt like it.

That question led me to build DriveTrack.

DriveTrack automatically records every drive and creates a detailed history of where you've been. Just pair your car's Bluetooth once, and the app starts tracking when you connect and stops when you disconnect. No need to remember to press Start every time you get in the car. (Manual trips are available too.)

What it tracks

🚗 Interactive GPS route maps for every trip
📊 Distance, duration, average & top speed, moving vs. stopped time, and elevation gain/loss
📅 Daily, weekly, monthly, and all-time driving statistics
🗺️ Trip history organized by day and month
⭐ Save your favorite drives
🛣️ View every trip from a single day on one map
📍 Open trips in Google Maps to compare your planned route with the one you actually drove
💾 Export your data and view it in your browser—all stored locally on your device

I built DriveTrack because it was the app I wanted but couldn't find.

If you're someone who enjoys driving, road trips, or simply likes keeping a history of your journeys, I'd love to hear what you think.

Built with React Native and Expo.

I've just released a major update focused on improving search with faster, more accurate results, better matching, and a bunch of fixes based on your feedback.
