Velo is a clean, minimal GPS speedometer built for cyclists who want the essentials — and nothing else. No clutter. No bloat. Just your speed, displayed large and clear, alongside distance and time at a glance. When the ride ends, your route and speed data are saved automatically so you can look back on every ride. [Key Features] ◎ Real-Time GPS Speed Your current speed is displayed in real time using GPS — no external sensors or hardware required. Updates every second for accurate, responsive readings. Average speed and max speed are tracked automatically throughout the ride. ◎ Distance & Elapsed Time Distance and riding time are recorded automatically from the moment you tap Start. Need a break? Hit Pause, then Resume — only your actual riding time is counted, keeping your stats accurate. ◎ Route Map After every ride, the route you cycled is drawn as a line on a map. Start and end points are clearly marked. Review your path anytime, even without an internet connection. ◎ Speed Graph See your full speed history as a line graph after each ride. Identify where you pushed hardest, where you slowed down, and where you hit your peak. Spot patterns in your riding and use them to improve. ◎ Ride History Every ride is saved automatically and sorted by date. Total distance, duration, average speed, and max speed are all visible at a glance. Look back at past rides and track how far you've come. ◎ km / Mile Toggle Switch freely between metric (km/h, km) and imperial (mph, mi) units in settings. Useful for rides abroad or simply your preferred unit system. ◎ Keep Screen On Prevent your phone from going to sleep while riding. Mount it on your handlebars and your speed is always visible — no tapping required. ◎ Minimal White Design A bold red accent on a clean white background makes speed readouts easy to see even in bright sunlight. The interface is built around riding, not around the app. [Perfect For] • Daily cycling commuters • Weekend riders and cycling clubs • Anyone who wants clean, simple speed and distance tracking • Students cycling to school • Cyclists focused on fitness and calorie-burning • Casual riders who don't need a complex cycling computer
