Know the limit. Stay ahead of it. A few miles over is all it takes — a ticket, a higher premium, or worse. SpeedMark helps you catch it before it happens, protecting every drive. Real-Time Speed Limits & Alerts SpeedMark displays the current speed limit while you drive and alerts you the moment you exceed it — the speedometer turns red, with an optional sound. You choose how early it warns you: at the limit, 5%, 10%, or 20% over. Guardian Alerts — Optional Invite up to 3 people you trust. They get a simple alert if you drive well over the limit — no continuous location sharing, no tracking, no stats. Safety, not surveillance. Every Drive, Auto-Recorded SpeedMark runs in the background and tracks every drive automatically, saving a GPS-verified record of the last 2 minutes — speed, route, and timing. Replay any session on a map, or export it as a report with a speed graph. Recordings are cryptographically signed on your device, so they can be verified as unaltered. Private by Design Your driving data stays on your phone — we never see it, and your drives are never uploaded.

On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
