Perfect solar panel alignment in seconds. TiltSync transforms your iPhone into a precision alignment tool for solar panels. Perfect for DIYers, first-time installers, and anyone who wants professional results without the learning curve. Whether you're a homeowner installing rooftop panels, an RV enthusiast with a portable setup, or setting up your first off-grid system, TiltSync helps you maximize energy production with zero guesswork. **How it works:** Place your phone flat on your solar panel. TiltSync uses your device's accelerometer to measure tilt, the magnetometer for compass heading, and GPS for your exact location. The app calculates the optimal angle and direction, then guides you to perfect alignment with haptic feedback that intensifies as you dial it in. **Precision interface:** The main display shows a rotating compass card with your heading, a tilt indicator showing panel angle, and real-time digital readouts. It's not just functional, it's beautiful to use. **Three alignment views:** • Combined Dashboard — See tilt and compass alignment together on one screen • Tilt Mode — Classic bubble level for dialing in your angle • Compass Mode — Dedicated view for azimuth alignment with sun position marker **Three optimization modes:** • Year-Round — Set it and forget it. Best fixed angle for maximum annual production. • Seasonal — For adjustable mounts. Optimized angles for summer and winter. • Daily — Real-time sun tracking that updates every minute. Perfect for portable panels, camping, and off-grid setups where every watt counts. **Features:** • Precision interface — Compass, tilt indicator, and real-time readouts • Dark, light, and auto themes — Adapts to your preference or system setting • Color-coded feedback — Green when perfect, yellow when close, red when off • Progressive haptic guidance — Feel your way to alignment without watching the screen • Instant startup — Cached GPS location means no waiting on subsequent launches • Works fully offline — All calculations happen on-device • No account needed — Just open and align **Built for everyone:** No solar experience required. The intuitive interface guides you step-by-step, and haptic feedback tells you when you've nailed it — even if you've never aligned a panel before. High-contrast display works in direct sunlight. Dark mode for indoor prep, light mode for outdoor use. Whether you're on a roof, in a field, or at a campsite, TiltSync works where you work. Stop guessing. Start generating.

Start a ride, check your progress, pause when you take a break, and stop when you reach your destination. YOUR SPEED AT A GLANCE Watch your current GPS speed on a dedicated speedometer display. A large speed reading and visual gauge make it easy to understand your pace at a glance. Choose a maximum speed for the gauge that suits your journey, so the display feels right for the way you travel. CHOOSE THE UNITS THAT WORK FOR YOU Switch between kilometers per hour, miles per hour, and knots in Settings. Distance uses the matching units: kilometers, miles, or nautical miles.

Keep the essentials in view without switching between separate tools. SpeedNow gives you a straightforward way to follow the trip you are taking, from the moment you start until you finish. PAUSE WHEN YOU NEED A BREAK Taking a rest or stopping along the way? Pause your ride and resume when you are ready to continue. Simple ride controls let you manage each journey without turning a quick stop into a separate ride. KEEP YOUR DISPLAY READY Turn on Keep Screen Awake to prevent your iPhone from automatically locking during a ride, including while the ride is paused. Set your preferred units and gauge scale in Settings to make the speedometer fit your routine.

Move between the speedometer and map depending on what you want to see. REVISIT YOUR RIDES Completed rides appear in History, making it easy to find previous journeys. With Pro, open a saved ride to view its recorded route, distance, and duration. Look back at where you went, revisit a familiar outing, or keep a record of the trips you want to remember. Remove rides from History when you no longer need them. SHARE THE JOURNEY Create a ride summary image from a saved ride and share it through your iPhone's sharing options. Bring your route and trip details together in one image, whether you want to send a ride to a friend or save a visual reminder of your day out. SIMPLE TO MAKE YOUR OWN Use kilometers per hour for one journey or miles per hour for the next. Change the gauge scale, choose whether the screen stays awake, and switch between your current ride and past trips. SpeedNow keeps these everyday controls close at hand, so you can spend less time setting up and more time enjoying your journey.

Add Speedometer Pro when you want to follow your route on the map, explore saved ride details, and share your journeys. Map access, saved ride details, and ride sharing require Speedometer Pro. GPS speed and route recording require location access. Privacy Policy: https://speednow.app/privacy/ Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
