Every drive, recorded. Torq turns your iPhone into a live GPS speedometer — speed, velocity, G-force, altitude, and cornering data, all processed on-device. Start a drive and Torq shows distance, duration, top speed, altitude, speed-limit context, and km/h or mph units. When the trip is finished, Torq builds a replayable route record with speed heat maps, charts, corner data, G-force readouts, and exportable trip logs. LIVE GPS SPEEDOMETER - Current speed, top speed, average speed, distance, duration, altitude - mph and km/h support - Speed-limit alerts and on-drive recording status - Live Activity and Picture in Picture speed overlays TRIP RECORDING AND REPLAY - Save every drive as a route heat map - Review speed and elevation charts - Browse trip history, personal records, and monthly trends - Export GPX, CSV, or DPSE sensor data for deeper review DRIVING DYNAMICS - Peak G-force and top corner speed - Acceleration and braking events - Lane changes and turn counts - Approximate 0-100 km/h timing when a complete acceleration segment is detected - Corner grades with entry, apex, exit speed, and lateral G INSIGHTS AFTER EVERY DRIVE Torq converts raw GPS, motion, and barometer data into a practical scorecard: driving score, smoothness, cornering, speed control, energy efficiency, safety, ride comfort, road quality, and your personal driving style profile. RESEARCH-INFORMED ANALYSIS Torq's pipeline is built around robust GNSS speed outlier filtering, physical plausibility gates, telematics-style hard-braking detection, lateral-G estimates from speed and heading change, and ISO-style vibration weighting for comfort and road-quality signals. It is transparent, on-device analysis for real roads, not a black-box scoreboard. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Torq is built around on-device trip analysis. Location and motion data are used to record your route, speed, altitude, G-force, cornering, braking, comfort, and road quality. Your trip telemetry is not required to leave your iPhone for core analysis unless you export or share it. TORQ PRO Unlock unlimited drive analysis and score history, G-force and cornering breakdowns, Live Activity and PiP overlays, advanced recap trends, and raw data export. SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION Torq Pro may be offered as an auto-renewable subscription.
