## What is SpeedWatch?

SpeedWatch turns your iPhone into a speedometer you can actually read at a glance.

One huge number. Colours that tell you instantly whether you are inside your limit. And alerts that speak up before a camera does.

WHY DRIVERS USE IT

Your car's dial is small, awkwardly placed and never tells you how close you are to the limit. SpeedWatch gives you a full-screen GPS gauge that turns green, yellow, orange or red based on the limits YOU set for city, out-of-town and highway driving. One look and you know.

BUILT FOR THE ROAD

• Large live GPS speedometer in km/h or mph
• Four-zone colour coding driven by your own limits
• Quick presets for City, Outside city and Highway — tap to switch
• Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
• Apple Watch app so your speed is on your wrist
• Night HUD: swipe in for a pure-black heads-up display that can mirror onto your windshield
• Section Control: measure your true average speed over a stretch of road
• Live map with your street name, compass heading, temperature and conditions
• Drives start and stop by themselves, and end about a minute after you park

AFTER EVERY DRIVE

The moment a drive ends you get a summary: distance, duration, top and average speed, and how much of it you spent over your own limit. If your phone was in your pocket it arrives as a notification and waits for you. Share any drive as a card, whatever you paid.

KNOW EVERY DRIVE

Every drive records duration, distance, top speed and average speed, and is labelled as a car trip or a bike ride. Open one to see the route on a map with the speed chart beside it. Filter your history, export it all to CSV, or clear it out in bulk. Statistics add totals, trends per week, month or year, and how much of your driving time sits over the limit.

MILEAGE FOR WORK

Mark a drive business or private the moment it ends, or with one swipe in the list. SpeedWatch then exports a mileage report as a PDF: distance totalled per purpose, then one line per trip with date, start, end and distance — ready for your employer or your accountant.

DASHCAM

Record the road ahead with your speed burned into the clip. A hard jolt marks that clip so the storage limit will not delete it later. Clips are kept in a library on your device, ready to review, share or delete.

ON YOUR HOME SCREEN

Two widgets show your last drive and the distance you covered this week. "Start a drive" and "Stop the drive" work through Siri and Shortcuts, and starting one is a Control Center button away.

ELEVEN LANGUAGES

English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Arabic.

PRIVACY FIRST

No account. No sign-up. No servers. Your location, your drives and your clips never leave your iPhone. SpeedWatch reads GPS and nothing else.

PRICING — BUY ONCE, KEEP FOREVER

SpeedWatch is free to use. Two one-time unlocks, no subscription:

• SpeedWatch Plus — over-speed alerts with sound and haptics, the night HUD, dark mode and eight accent colours, and statistics
• SpeedWatch Pro — drive history with routes, CSV export, trends, the mileage log, the dashcam and the Home Screen widgets. Includes everything in Plus.

Not sure? Run Pro free for seven days, once, straight from the upgrade screen. No card, no account, nothing to cancel.

IMPORTANT

SpeedWatch measures speed from GPS. Accuracy depends on satellite reception and it is not a legal replacement for your car's speedometer. The mileage report is a record of what you drove, not tax advice. Always keep your eyes on the road and follow local law — never operate your iPhone while driving.

### 2.59 — 2026-09-07

Every drive now ends with something to show for it.

• Drive summary — when a drive ends you get distance, duration, top and average speed, and how much of it was over your limit. If the app was in your pocket it arrives as a notification and waits until you open SpeedWatch.
• Mileage log — mark a drive business or private, then export a mileage report as a PDF: totals per purpose and one line per trip. Ready for your employer or your accountant.
• Try Pro free for seven days. One-off, no card, nothing to cancel.
• Home Screen widgets for your last drive and the distance you covered this week.
• "Start a drive" and "Stop the drive" now work with Siri and Shortcuts, and starting one is a Control Center button.
• The dashcam keeps the clips that matter: a hard jolt marks that clip so the storage limit will not delete it later.
• Share any drive as a card — free for everyone.
• Drives now end about a minute after you park instead of running on, so the distance and the average speed are right.

### 2.27 — 2026-07-31

What's New (versie 2.27)

DASHCAM

Record the road with your speed burned into the picture. Continuous 3-minute
clips, an automatic 2 GB limit that clears the oldest footage for you, and a
library to watch, share or delete what you have recorded. Speed, time, GPS,
street name and temperature can each be switched on or off. Audio is optional
and off by default. Clips never leave your device.

Swipe in from the left edge to open it.

NIGHT HUD

A pure black display with the gauge at full size, your heading and the street
you are on. Mirror mode lets you lay the phone flat and read your speed in the
windshield. Swipe in from the right edge.

LANDSCAPE

The whole app now works sideways. Turn the phone in its mount and the
dashboard rearranges itself — gauge on the left, map and trip stats on the
right. The HUD and the dashcam follow suit, and recordings are saved in the
orientation you are actually filming in.

### 1.3 — 2026-06-18

No release notes.
