SpeedDash - Dynamic themes that move with your speed. One phone, a whole new driving dashboard. 【Built for Tesla】 No login. No cloud. No box. No account password, remote API authorization, OBD device, or communication box required. Connect directly to your vehicle via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for millisecond-level response, syncing real-time driving data such as speed, gear, and mileage. Powered by local Bluetooth communication instead of cloud networks, it works even with weak or no internet. Get in, auto-connect, and go. 【Dynamic Themes That Move With Speed】 This is what sets us apart from other dashboard apps. Our carefully crafted dynamic dashboard themes are more than background colors. Every theme animation is deeply linked to vehicle speed, letting you truly “see” speed. From sci-fi halos to minimalist digits, particle storms to rhythmic waves, deep vortices to futuristic radar, every theme is finely tuned so animations sync precisely with every speed change. Speed is not just a number. It becomes a visual experience. · Low-speed cruising: light flows slowly, calm and elegant · High-speed driving: particles surge forward as visuals ignite · Rapid acceleration: pulses burst with a powerful sense of energy · Deceleration and braking: animations contract and return to calm More themes are continuously being added for fresh driving visuals. 【Every Detail Built for Driving】 · Switch freely between portrait and landscape, perfect for all car phone mounts · Pure black background for distraction-free night driving · Speed digits adapt to screen size, clear and readable on any device · Clean, restrained interface with no clutter, focused on driving · GPS speed mode supported, so non-smart EVs can also enjoy dynamic themes 【Use Cases】 · You want an immersive driving dashboard with animations linked to speed · You do not want to provide your smart EV account password or rely on cloud remote control · You do not want extra hardware boxes, only your phone and vehicle · You want speed limit alerts for safer driving 【Membership Benefits】 Enjoy basic themes for free and experience animations that move with speed.
