A rare driving companion experience in any ecosystem - launching today
Hello,
I’ve been working on a driving app called Speedometer: Driving Tracker for a while, and it recently got approved for CarPlay in the Driving Task category.
That approval process is surprisingly strict - very limited UI, no custom buttons, and a strong focus on safety; so getting through it meant a lot.
The app originally started as a simple speedometer, but over time, I expanded it into something more like a driving companion. It tracks trips, shows analytics, and tries to make driving data more visual instead of just numbers.
Some things it currently supports:
- Trip tracking with detailed stats
- Route playback (including 3D-style views)
- Visual trip sharing
- Fuel, maintenance, and expense tracking
- Driving pattern insights and comparisons
- Video recording with speed + map overlays
- iCloud sync across devices and backup
- Privacy-focused (no ads or tracking)
The idea is to offer something beyond what most built-in dashboards show, while still working within CarPlay’s limitations.
Would love to hear any thoughts or feedback.
