MEASURE YOUR ACCELERATION. YOUR WAY. SpeedGate turns your iPhone into a GPS acceleration timer for measuring real-world vehicle performance. Set the speed you want to reach β€” 0–60 mph, 0–100 km/h, or any custom speed β€” and SpeedGate automatically detects when you start moving and times your run. No manual stopwatch. No need to tap the screen while launching. Just set your gate, start the test and drive. CUSTOM SPEED GATES Choose your own target speed in mph or km/h. Use one gate for a simple acceleration test, or unlock two gates with SpeedGate Pro to measure two targets during the same run. AUTOMATIC LAUNCH DETECTION SpeedGate detects the beginning of your run automatically. Hands-free audio cues help you focus on driving while the app handles the timing. GPS + MOTION SENSOR FUSION SpeedGate combines GPS and iPhone motion sensor data to create a fused speed and acceleration trace. Sensor calibration helps verify bias, noise and device orientation before measuring performance.
