Gauge is a speedometer and nothing else. Open it, tap Start, and your current speed fills the screen in huge white numerals on black. Top speed, average, and distance sit beneath it. Tap any one of them to make it the big number. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Gauge never sends your data anywhere. MADE FOR - Driving, motorcycles, ATVs and UTVs - Boats, in knots and nautical miles - Cycling, e-bikes, and running - Skiing and snowboarding - Anything with a top speed worth knowing HOW IT WORKS - Tap Start Trip. That's it. Category and units come afterward. - The screen stays on, and recording continues if you lock your phone or switch apps. - Slide to stop. No button to hit by accident in a pocket or a glove. - Save the trip, or resume it and keep going. WHAT YOU GET, FREE - Live current, top, average speed, and distance - MPH, km/h, or knots; miles, kilometers, or nautical miles - Categories for every activity, with the precision each one needs - Your three most recent trips, with duration - Route maps: every trip traced on Apple Maps, standard or satellite - Name a trip, share it as a card GAUGE PRO — $9.99/year (7-day free trial) - Keep every trip, for as long as you like - Filter by category and sort by top speed, average, or distance The speedometer is free forever. Pro is for the record it builds. PRIVACY Gauge uses your location only to measure speed and distance while a trip is recording, and to draw the route on a map if you keep that on. Your trips stay on your phone. There are no accounts and no analytics. Speed is measured by GPS and may read low or drop out briefly under tunnels, dense trees, or tall buildings. Gauge is not a substitute for your vehicle's speedometer.
