Velocita is a fast, honest GPS speedometer. A clear numeric display, full trip stats, and the features you actually need — no ads, no account, no subscription. Works offline. Your location never leaves your phone. FREE — EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO DRIVE - Numeric speed display with heading, altitude, and GPS signal quality - Trip stats: distance, average speed, max speed, duration - Auto-record trips: recording starts on its own when you drive or ride — never when you walk - Barometer-fused altitude accurate to about one meter - Live compass heading (GPS course when moving, magnetometer when stopped) - Location name via reverse geocoding - Speed in mph, km/h, or knots — distance in miles, kilometers, or nautical miles - AMOLED black mode - Auto-idle after 5 minutes - Background tracking so speed and trip stats keep running when your phone is locked VELOCITA PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE No subscription. Pay once, keep forever. Shared with your Family Sharing group at no extra cost. - SPEED LIMITS: the posted limit right on the speedometer, and an automatic alert the moment you drift over — no setup needed. Limits are matched entirely on your phone from offline OpenStreetMap-based data packs, so it works with no signal and your location never leaves the device. - TRIP HISTORY: save every drive, ride, cruise, or train trip with a route map, speed and elevation charts, pause segments, favorites, categories, notes, search, filters, and GPX/CSV export. - WINDSHIELD HUD: a full-screen mirrored readout that reflects off your windshield at night. Red-on-black for dark-adapted vision. Brightness ramps to 100% automatically. - GAUGE DISPLAY: an analog speedometer with a live compass ring, min/max markers, and auto-scaling tick marks. - SPEED ALERT: haptic buzz, OVER LIMIT banner, and a red frame when you exceed your chosen limit. - HAPTIC SPEED TICKS: a gentle tap every 10 mph or km/h you cross. - LIVE ACTIVITY: speed, bearing, max, distance, and elapsed time on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. SPEED YOU CAN TRUST Asymmetric GPS smoothing reacts fast to acceleration but doesn't linger when you've stopped. Two independent stop detectors — a GPS fast-zero when consecutive readings hit the noise floor, and a Core Motion stationary check — snap the display to zero without waiting for Apple's location smoothing to settle. Poor-signal readings are dimmed with a ~ prefix, and min/max/average only record when signal is good enough. TRIP TRACKING THAT DOESN'T LIE Distance only accumulates when GPS signal is good enough to trust, so no more phantom miles from a parked car in a bad signal area. Pro trip history preserves the route, stats, speed alerts, pause segments, and notes for later review. ACCESSIBILITY Full VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, Voice Control, and Switch Control support. High-contrast colors that work in grayscale and Color Filters. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads. No tracking. No account. No advertising IDs. Your location and trip data never leave your phone. Anonymous, aggregate usage signals help us improve the app and can be disabled in Settings.
