Tripsta is a trip computer for your iPhone. It records your journey with GPS and shows what your car's dashboard usually doesn't: altitude, precise speed, the course you are travelling, distance, and the full statistics of every trip you have taken. No account. No sign-up. No servers. Your trips are recorded and stored on your iPhone, and you can export any of them as a GPX file whenever you want. WHILE YOU DRIVE • Current speed from GPS — useful when your speedometer lacks resolution at low speed, or when the car's screen is busy • Current altitude, with the minimum and maximum reached on this trip • Course in degrees, with an arrow showing which way you are moving on a north-up map • GPS accuracy, so you know how much to trust the numbers • Distance and elapsed time • Recording continues while the app is in the background • A live card on the lock screen, Dynamic Island, CarPlay and Apple Watch shows altitude and the trip's altitude profile; start or end a trip with Siri AFTER THE TRIP • Speed analysis: average, median, 95th-percentile and maximum speed, moving versus stopped time, stop count, and a speed-over-time chart • Altitude analysis: minimum, maximum, total climb and total descent, with an elevation profile and a breakdown of climbs and descents • Course analysis: how your heading was distributed across the trip, plus a turn history • Route map with your recorded track, in standard, satellite or hybrid view • My Trips: search, sort, rename and review every trip you have recorded LIFETIME STATISTICS • Totals and records across every trip: distance, time, climb, fastest and highest • 26 achievement badges for milestones along the way YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE • Trips are stored on the device, not on our servers — we have no servers and no accounts • Export any trip as a standard GPX file and send it wherever you like; exported files also appear in the Files app • Because trips live on your iPhone, deleting the app deletes them — export anything you want to keep WHAT USES THE INTERNET, AND WHAT DOESN'T Recording a trip and every statistic need only GPS, so Tripsta keeps working with no signal. Two things use the network when it is available: the map, which downloads its tiles, and the automatic trip name, which turns your start and end coordinates into place names. Without a connection the map stays blank and the trip keeps its default name. Nothing else changes. WHAT TRIPSTA IS NOT It is not a navigation app and it will not route you anywhere. It has no ads, no analytics, no tracking, no subscriptions and nothing to buy. It is a measuring instrument for people who like numbers. Please don't rely on Tripsta for safety or emergencies, and don't operate it while driving. GPS readings are approximate. Requires iOS 18 or later, and location permission — that is what a trip computer measures. Made by Universley LLC.
