Every run. Every launch. Down to the tenth. Launchly measures your acceleration time β 0-50, 0-100, 0-150 and 0-200 km/h β with precision that goes far beyond a basic GPS stopwatch. Pick your car, floor it, and see exactly what it did. WHY LAUNCHLY IS DIFFERENT Most phones only deliver GPS updates at 1 Hz. Launchly fuses GPS Doppler speed with 100 Hz IMU data (accelerometer + gyroscope) to fill the gaps between fixes. The result: sprint times accurate to the hundredth of a second, even on devices with slow GPS. FEATURES β’ Measure 0-50, 0-100, 0-150 and 0-200 km/h β’ Split times captured automatically within a single run β’ Live speed gauge in multiple styles (PRO) β’ G-force chart for every run (PRO) β’ Garage: manage multiple cars with photo and license plate β’ Compare with friends on a leaderboard β’ Export your GPS log for your own analysis PRIVACY FIRST Measuring 0-100 km/h is completely free, no account required. Your runs are stored on your device β they are only uploaded if you sign in to share times with friends. For anyone who wants to really know what their car can do β on the road or the track.
