Pull turns your iPhone into a live longitudinal g-force meter for driving — every push into your seat and every dive into the belt, traced the instant it happens. Runs quietly catches every launch and roll while you drive, so a quarter-mile just gets banked without ever tapping a stopwatch. New in 1.3.1: made for iPhone Duo. FEATURES • Live G-force readings for acceleration and braking • Real-time scrolling telemetry chart with drag-to-explore review • Peak acceleration and braking captured on every drive • Runs — set a roll or launch from a stop, floor it, and Pull banks your 60-foot, 0–60, and quarter-mile automatically. No button, no countdown • History — every banked run files itself in a logbook you never wrote • Records — your personal bests across every measure, one trophy shelf • Garage — add your cars, and every run is stamped with the one you set it in. Each car remembers its own dash color • Share any peak, whole ride, or banked run as a clean card — or save a run straight to Photos • Made for iPhone Duo — readings on the cover display, a split meter held tall, a full-width trace held wide • Ten dashboard tints — pick what reads cleanest against your dash • Follows your region for miles or kilometres — flip whenever you like • Automatic setup — no calibration step; it learns your direction of travel as you drive • Works in any mount or orientation — dashboard, vent, or a flat console charger HOW IT WORKS Pull uses your iPhone's motion sensors and your direction of travel to measure longitudinal acceleration accurately. It works the moment you start moving and sharpens within seconds — no calibration step and no fixed mounting position. While you drive, Runs watches quietly in the background. Set a roll or come to a stop and launch, and Pull times it against your true from-crossing — no stopwatch to tap, no countdown to fumble. You decide it was a run after the run. Ordinary driving stays silent. Location is used only to sense the direction of travel. It's processed entirely on your device and never leaves it. Place your phone in any mount — dashboard, vent, or a flat charging pad — open Pull, and drive. GREAT FOR • Enthusiasts who want their 60-foot, 0–60, and quarter-mile without fuss • Drivers working on smoother acceleration and braking habits • Exploring how a car pulls, brakes, and settles across a drive • Anyone who's ever wished the pull they just made had been timed PRIVACY Your measurements, location, and drive data stay on your device and are never uploaded to the cloud. Pull does not collect, store, or share your personal data. No account. No signup. No internet connection required. QUICK START 1. Place your iPhone in any mount in your vehicle 2. Open Pull and allow Location access 3. Drive and watch live acceleration data update in real time 4. Review your session history and telemetry afterward IMPORTANT Pull measures longitudinal acceleration only (forward and backward motion). Always drive responsibly and obey local traffic laws. Never operate the app in a way that distracts from safe driving.

StarPilot BT brings Galaxy to your iPhone through a direct Bluetooth connection. Once setup is complete, local Bluetooth access works without a network connection on either device. PAIR ONCE Open Pair phone on your compatible comma, then tap Pair with comma in the app. Your saved pairing is used to reconnect afterward. GALAXY ON YOUR PHONE Browse the settings available on your connected StarPilot build. Search for a setting and adjust supported switches and values. Availability follows the rules provided by your comma. CHOOSE YOUR CONNECTION Use Bluetooth only, Wi-Fi only, or Automatic. Automatic prefers reachable local Wi-Fi and falls back to your paired comma over Bluetooth. BUILT FOR LOCAL ACCESS Your paired device and connection preferences are remembered on your iPhone. Pairing credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain. REQUIREMENTS An iPhone running iOS 17 or later and a supported comma device running a compatible StarPilot build with the Bluetooth bridge are required. Installing this app does not install or update StarPilot on your comma. Initial comma bridge setup requires internet access. Some Galaxy features require a reachable local Wi-Fi connection. Online services and downloads also require internet access on comma. Set up and adjust your device while safely parked. StarPilot BT is a companion interface and does not replace the driver's responsibility to operate the vehicle safely.
