PedalSmith is a focused brake-pedal training tool for sim racers. Connect your iPhone to the same Wi-Fi network as your PS5 with Gran Turismo 7 running, and PedalSmith will read your brake pedal input directly over the network — no setup, no accounts, no recording. Three drills: • Force Calibration — the app speaks a target pressure ("seventy"), you press to it and hold steady. Score is your plateau value. • Pressure Modulation — a smooth, randomly-varying target curve scrolls across the screen. Match it with your brake pedal in real time. Live score over a five-second sliding window. • Release Shape — practice trail-brake releases against fast, medium, or long target curves. Watch your release overlay the ideal in real time and see exactly where you deviate. PedalSmith stores nothing between sessions. No account, no analytics, no data leaves your device.
