About

LapLift Sync

Features
Read full description

LapLift Sync moves your track data from your AiM logger to LapLift, without a laptop. Connect over Wi-Fi in the paddock, pick the sessions you want, and they upload straight to your LapLift account. No card readers, no cables, no waiting until you get home to find out whether the lap you thought was quick actually was. WHAT IT DOES • Connects to your AiM logger over its own Wi-Fi or a shared network • Lists what's on the device, and tells you which sessions are already in LapLift so you never transfer the same file twice • Resumes on its own: if the signal drops, sessions stay queued on the phone and upload when you have a connection again • Tells you the moment a transfer finishes, so you know your data is safely up before you pack the car TRACK MODE Arm Track Mode between sessions and leave the app open — it watches your logger and pulls in each new session as it is recorded, so your data is in LapLift by lunch instead of at midnight. WHAT YOU NEED • A LapLift account (free — sign up in the app or at laplift.app) • A Wi-Fi-equipped AiM data logger. Tested with the Solo 2 and MXG; other AiM devices using the same Wi-Fi connection may work. This app is a companion to LapLift, where the actual analysis happens: lap comparison, track maps, corner-by-corner segment times, video overlays, and comparison against other drivers at the same circuit. Not affiliated with or endorsed by AiM Tech.
