No analytics. No tracking. No third-party SDKs. Everything stays on your device. We can't see how you use the app β€” by design. WHY THIS APP EXISTS Speedometer apps are notorious for paywalling basic features. HUD mode? Subscription. Trip history beyond 5 trips? Subscription. Different unit? Subscription.

Built by one developer who got tired of the upsells. β€” No subscription. No ads. Forever.
