STOP DOING MATH AT A RED LIGHT You get 10 seconds to decide. RideLens reads the offer already on your screen and instantly turns it into the numbers that actually matter: • Pay per hour and pay per mile • Your NET after your own vehicle cost (add your car once) • A color grade — green, yellow, red — set by YOUR thresholds • A spoken announcement, so your eyes stay on the road LEARN YOUR OWN MARKET The longer you drive, the more RideLens learns your city. See your average offered $/hour by 4-hour window, by weekday, and by drop-off city — plus a heatmap of your best windows to work, so you know when to go out and when to call it a night. BUILT FOR THE ROAD • Floating HUD stays visible over your driver app • Dynamic Island and lock-screen live updates • Mileage tracking for your records • Session history and CSV export for tax season YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything — offers, sessions, miles — is stored on your phone, not on our servers. It works offline. Nobody sells your driving history. Back up your complete history to Mail, Drive or Files anytime from About → Back up my data.
