MotoDeck
Read full descriptionHide full description
On a bike, your phone is two gloves and three zippers away. Its job just moved to the screen on your bars. Everything a rider needs in one app. Well, except the navigation — that one it rides alongside. MotoDeck turns any CarPlay head unit, or the iPhone on your bars, into a real motorcycle dashboard. Open the garage from the bars. See what the weather's doing, when the rain starts or stops, and how much daylight is left. And when you stop for fuel, the practical things are already on the screen: tyre pressures for the pump, the right oil for a top-up, the next stop on your route, your emergency contact. 3,000+ BIKES. THE SPECS THAT MATTER. Seventeen brands and counting, 3000+ models, every generation back to the classics — displacement, power, torque, weights, seat heights, tyre pressures, fluids and capacities, on the free Catalog tab: filter by year, brand, kind, engine, size, power, weight or seat height, or type a name. Where the official riders' and workshop manuals have been read cover to cover, every figure carries its source — and that library keeps growing. Browse any machine, or dream through the one you almost bought. PICK YOUR BIKE, THE NUMBERS ARRIVE Choose your model and year, and its sections fill themselves: pressures, oils, torque values, service data. Add what the factory can't know — VIN, key codes, insurance, dealer and emergency contacts with Call and Directions buttons that work straight from the CarPlay screen. Keep more than one bike, each with its own numbers. Tick a date — insurance, registration, inspection — and MotoDeck reminds you before it expires, on the phone and in CarPlay when you connect. CONTROL YOUR SMART DEVICES FROM THE SADDLE Garage, gate, lights, a temperature sensor — switches you tap, readings you glance at. Connect devices you already own: Shelly relays, Home Assistant, HomeKit, or anything with a simple HTTP API. Start from a built-in example — drop in your device's address, done. A DASHBOARD THAT EARNS ITS PLACE Live data from your devices and your phone: outside conditions, minute-by-minute rain timing, daylight remaining, altitude, and your phone's health on long rides. Build your own groups. The same layout drives the phone and all four CarPlay styles — Classic, Cards, Compact, and Grid. Includes a configurable widget for the iPhone home screen and CarPlay. YOUR PHONE WILL THANK YOU With a head unit, no bar mount needed: no battery cooking in the sun, no engine vibration chewing up the camera, no phone on display at every fuel stop. It rides zipped away — the screen on your bars does the work. Without one, mount the phone and it is the same dashboard, one screen closer. YOUR ROAD BOOK, ONE TAP AHEAD Build a trip as a list of stops — hotels, passes, fuel, that diner someone swore by. On the road, every stop is a Directions button on the CarPlay screen: tap the next one and ride. WORKS WITH WHAT YOU RIDE Any modern iPhone, any CarPlay head unit — including the aftermarket units popular on adventure bikes. No head unit? MotoDeck works on the iPhone alone: the catalog, your garage and papers with their reminders, the dashboard with your devices and the phone's sensors, the road book. Mount the phone on the bars; CarPlay is the option, not the requirement. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No cloud of ours. No tracking. Your devices talk to your phone directly. Your data never leaves it. FREE CATALOG. ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION The catalog of 3,000+ bikes is free for every rider. Try everything else free for fourteen days — the garage, the papers, the deck, CarPlay — with the price shown before you start. Then one purchase keeps it all. No subscription. No automatic charge. Built by a rider, for riders.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: DigiDecoder at every 3 days against MotoDeck's weekly. DigiDecoder also leads on device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
