Velox is a GPS speedometer. That's the whole pitch. Open the app, see your speed. No ads interrupting you, no subscription to unlock the useful parts, no account to create before it does anything. Just your current speed in mph, in real time, as big as it needs to be. What's in the app - Live GPS speed in mph or km/h, switch with one tap - Huge, high-contrast numbers you can read at a glance - Dark mode and light mode, because glare is a real thing - Nothing else cluttering the screen Who uses it Drivers checking their real speed, cyclists, runners, hikers, motorcyclists, boaters. Anyone who just needs to know how fast they're moving without digging through a dashboard to find it. Why another speedometer app? Most of them have turned into something else: maps, trip logs, ad banners, "pro" paywalls. Velox never went down that road. One screen. One number. Works the moment you open it. Privacy Your location is used only to calculate your speed. No account, no tracking, nothing shared. Free to download.
