Measure the exact RPM of any rotating surface with precision and ease. Two Measurement Modes: Place your phone directly on a spinning surface and let the built-in gyroscope calculate RPM in real time. Or point your camera at a rotating object, select a region of interest, and let advanced brightness analysis detect the speed for you. Live RPM Gauge & Graph Watch your readings update instantly on a smooth, color-coded gauge. A scrollable graph tracks RPM changes over the entire measurement session so you can see speed fluctuations at a glance. Lock Angle for Spinning Surfaces When your phone is on a turntable, lock the gauge so it counter-rotates and stays readable while the device spins. Read your RPM without stopping the record. Save & Compare Readings Name and save every measurement. Browse your full history, compare past readings, and review detailed graphs for each session. Built for Vinyl Lovers Whether you're calibrating a turntable, checking a ceiling fan, or testing any rotating equipment, RPM Meter gives you accurate, real-time results in seconds. Download RPM Meter and know your speed.

PitLaunch turns your iPhone into a pocket performance timer. Line up, launch, and get your real 0–60 — timed to the hundredth of a second. PitLaunch fuses GPS speed with your iPhone's motion sensors to time your run the instant you launch. No extra hardware, no wires — just mount your phone and go. PitLaunch is free to download. Timing runs and all the features below require PitLaunch Pro, an auto-renewing subscription (monthly or annual) purchased in the app — the price is always shown before you subscribe, in your local currency. WHAT YOU CAN TIME (requires PitLaunch Pro) • 0–60 mph (or 0–100 km/h) • The quarter mile — with ⅛-mile split, trap speed, and 0–100 mph • Roll-on pulls like 50–70 mph • Peak G, plus a live G-meter that tracks g-forces in every direction BUILT FOR ENTHUSIASTS • Standstill or 1-foot rollout — the same conventions as the drag strip • Automatic launch detection: arm it, drive, and PitLaunch captures the whole sheet for you • A big, glanceable readout designed to be mounted and read at speed • Works in mph or km/h SHARE YOUR RUNS Every run becomes a clean, branded card — your time, your car, and the real speed trace — sized for Instagram and ready to post in a single tap. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS PitLaunch runs entirely on your device. Your location, motion, and run history never leave your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no tracking. DRIVE RESPONSIBLY PitLaunch is intended for use on a track, a closed course, or a legal venue. Never interact with the app while driving — set it up before you set off or have a passenger operate it, and always obey speed limits and local laws. PITLAUNCH PRO — SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED All features described above — timed runs, every captured metric, shareable run cards, and your run history — require PitLaunch Pro, an auto-renewing subscription available monthly or annually. The current price and billing period — and any introductory offer — are always shown in the app before you subscribe, in your local currency. — Subscription details — • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. • Your subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. • Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings. • Any unused portion of a free trial, where offered, is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
