What's New in SmoothTrack

2.02

October 13, 2026

What’s New in 2.02 - Smoother tracking: Motion is smoother between camera frames, and the view no longer drifts when your face is briefly lost. - More reliable connection: Changing the IP address or port reconnects right away, and the app recovers on its own after a dropped connection instead of needing a restart. - Quick views: The app always starts on the Default view, and saving changes while on Default creates a new quick view instead of changing the Default. - Your settings are now remembered: The port, eye tracking on/off, and eye tracking strength, speed and deadzone all persist between launches. - Recalibration fix: Recalibrating several times in a row no longer ends a calibration early. - Yaw and pitch sliders fixed: Sensitivity sliders were swapped - Plus stability fixes and cleanup, now targeting iOS 26

Amazing head tracking alternative

I’ve had this for a long time now and I got to say, I play a lot of DCS World (Digital combat simulator) flight sim, and this has helped me so much, it takes the stress off of me to use my mouse and my actual throttle and stick I’m able to look around and have zero issues at all, everything runs smoothly and the head tracking is amazing. If you don’t wanna spend upwards of 100$+ for a head tracking device, I’d highly suggest you use this app it’s cheap but very good and high quality. 10/10 would recommend

Brilliant!

Very good all around, smooth as silk like TrackIR, you can even use AirPods for head tracking and there’s a dark mode so that your phone doesn’t get too hot. Literally plug and play, very easy USB setup with zero latency. 10/10. All for 15 dollars!

FAQ

What does SmoothTrack do?

SmoothTrack uses your phone's camera to track your head and eye movements, translating them into in-game camera control for PC simulation games. It offers 6 degrees of freedom for a more immersive experience without requiring any extra hardware like VR headsets or specialized trackers.

What games are compatible with SmoothTrack?

Any game that supports the FreeTrack or TrackIR protocol will work with SmoothTrack. This includes popular titles such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, DCS World, Elite: Dangerous, and Euro Truck Simulator 2, among many others.

Do I need to buy any extra equipment to use SmoothTrack?

No, absolutely not. SmoothTrack is designed to work solely with the AR capabilities of your smartphone. You do not need any headsets, external cameras, or other accessories to use it.

How does the head tracking work?

The app uses your phone's camera to monitor your head's position and orientation. These movements are then translated into in-game camera adjustments, with movements slightly exaggerated to allow for precise control with subtle head gestures.

Can I save specific camera views?

Yes, you can store custom views, such as a copilot perspective or a close-up of the cockpit, as 'Quick Views'. This allows for easy and quick access to these pre-set camera angles during gameplay.
