## What is Halo Live?

Join Formula 1 fans around the world with Halo Live, the F1 companion app built for real-time race tracking through Dynamic Island — no need to keep the app open.

Follow every Grand Prix with a Dynamic Island and Lock Screen Live Activity that updates automatically, even while you're using other apps. Get instant overtake alerts the moment your tracked driver gains or loses a position, complete with animation and sound — right from your background screen.

Features

- Live Dynamic Island tracking — position, gap, tire compound, and pit count
- Background overtake alerts with animation and sound
- Lock Screen Live Activity throughout every session
- Full live leaderboard for all 22 drivers
- Complete weekend coverage — Practice, Qualifying, Sprint, and Race results
- Season calendar with countdown to the next session
- Driver and Constructor Championship standings
- Reserve driver support for Free Practice sessions

Live Activity

Halo Live's Dynamic Island isn't just a static display — it reacts. When your tracked driver overtakes or gets overtaken, the Dynamic Island expands automatically with a dedicated animation, even when the app is completely in the background.

Data

Halo Live uses the OpenF1 API for near real-time race data. Race results and standings are provided by Jolpica (Ergast).
