## What is Kaltrix?

Kaltrix turns your drive into an informed one. It fuses cross-brand radar-detector telemetry with a fast, navigation-grade live map — so the road ahead is never a surprise.

Most driving apps show you where you are. Kaltrix shows you what's coming: a real-time, crowd-sourced awareness layer built from drivers around you, laid over turn-by-turn navigation that actually knows which way you're facing.

WHAT YOU GET

• Live awareness map — a clean, tactical dark map that surfaces corroborated road alerts ahead of you, color-coded by type and confidence.
• Navigation-grade routing — turn-by-turn directions with lane guidance, speed-limit display, and smart departures that don't open your trip with a needless U-turn.
• Connect your detector — pair a compatible radar detector over Bluetooth to fold its signals into your map, or run in crowd-only mode with no hardware at all.
• CarPlay built in — a purpose-built CarPlay experience: glanceable maneuvers, your speed and the posted limit, and awareness cues, all sized to your car's screen.
• Trip history & replay — every drive is saved; look back at your route, speed, and a shareable trip summary.
• Crowd-powered, privacy-first — you contribute anonymized, coarsened signals and get everyone else's in return. Your precise location is never shared or logged.

BUILT FOR AWARENESS, NOT DISTRACTION

Kaltrix is a driving-awareness tool in the spirit of the road-alert apps you already know. Everything is designed to be understood in a glance and to keep your eyes on the road.

PRIVACY

Sharing is anonymized and location data is coarsened on our servers before anyone sees it. We never log your coordinates. Read our full policy at kaltrix.app/privacy.

Drive aware. Drive Kaltrix.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-03

Kaltrix Pro, official road incident data, and Valentine One support.

KALTRIX PRO
A subscription that funds the network. Pro unlocks aerial patrol zones,
the enforcement heatmap, and your full trip history.

Everything that matters while driving stays free: live detections from
the network, the shared map, navigation, CarPlay, and voice alerts —
voice is no longer a paid feature.

Free accounts keep your five most recent trips. Older trips stay on your
device and unlock with Pro.

OFFICIAL ROAD INCIDENTS — FREE FOR EVERYONE
Accidents, closures, and roadwork now appear on the map, published
directly by state DOTs and 511 services. Tap any marker for the details
and the agency that reported it.

ROUTING AROUND CLOSURES
If an officially closed road sits on your route, Kaltrix looks for a way
around it and tells you what it avoided. When no detour is clear, it
says so instead of routing you into the closure.

VALENTINE ONE GEN2
Bluetooth support for the V1 Gen2, built on Valentine Research's
published ESP protocol: bands, signal strength, and front/side/rear
arrows.

ALSO
• CarPlay's arrival time now matches the phone, and keeps counting down
  while you're stopped
• Aerial patrol zones group by aircraft instead of by ping, so one plane
  reads as one zone
• Hotspot rankings count separate passes rather than repeated frames
  from a single drive

### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-28

• Sign in with Apple or Google — one tap, no password needed
• Live aircraft alerts: Kaltrix now detects low-flying police helicopters and speed-enforcement planes patrolling your route, automatically
• Smoother driving map: your car glides cleanly on screen — even in Low Power Mode and on CarPlay while your phone is locked
• Faster rerouting when you take a different turn
• Truer speed readouts: no more phantom 2 mph while parked, and trip replays now show where you actually stopped
• Bug fixes and general polish

### 1.0.0 — 2026-07-18

Kaltrix 1.0 is our biggest update yet, packed with new ways to drive smarter and share the road.

Music comes to Kaltrix. Connect Apple Music to see and control your music right from the map, with a now-playing bar and track skipping built right into CarPlay.

Drive with friends. Set a profile photo, add friends by code, and climb the leaderboards, from your friend group all the way up to statewide, national, and global rankings. You can also share your favorite drives as a custom card with your own photo and route map.

Make it yours. Choose from a set of vehicle icons and colors for your marker on the map.

We've also refined CarPlay throughout, with clearer lane guidance on turns and exits, a cleaner speed and speed-limit display, and smoother navigation all around, plus a wide range of stability and performance improvements.

Thanks for driving with us.
