PitLaunch

Read full description

PitLaunch turns your iPhone into a pocket performance timer. Line up, launch, and get your real 0โ€“60 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” the price is always shown before you subscribe, in your local currency. WHAT YOU CAN TIME (requires PitLaunch Pro) โ€ข 0โ€“60 mph (or 0โ€“100 km/h) โ€ข The quarter mile โ€” with โ…›-mile split, trap speed, and 0โ€“100 mph โ€ข Roll-on pulls like 50โ€“70 mph โ€ข Peak G, plus a live G-meter that tracks g-forces in every direction BUILT FOR ENTHUSIASTS โ€ข Standstill or 1-foot rollout โ€” the same conventions as the drag strip โ€ข Automatic launch detection: arm it, drive, and PitLaunch captures the whole sheet for you โ€ข A big, glanceable readout designed to be mounted and read at speed โ€ข Works in mph or km/h SHARE YOUR RUNS Every run becomes a clean, branded card โ€” your time, your car, and the real speed trace โ€” 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 โ€” set it up before you set off or have a passenger operate it, and always obey speed limits and local laws. PITLAUNCH PRO โ€” SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED All features described above โ€” timed runs, every captured metric, shareable run cards, and your run history โ€” require PitLaunch Pro, an auto-renewing subscription available monthly or annually. The current price and billing period โ€” and any introductory offer โ€” are always shown in the app before you subscribe, in your local currency. โ€” Subscription details โ€” โ€ข Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. โ€ข 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. โ€ข Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings. โ€ข Any unused portion of a free trial, where offered, is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

Powertora turns your iPhone and a Bluetooth GPS sensor into a rolling-road dyno. Do one full-throttle pull followed by a coast-down on a quiet road, and Powertora calculates your car's real power and torque curves โ€” crank-equivalent, in metric PS โ€” from how it accelerates and how it slows. No rollers. No dyno shop. Just your car, a GPS sensor, and a stretch of road. MEASURE โ€ข Real power and torque curves vs RPM โ€ข Crank-equivalent output โ€” the coast run captures drivetrain loss automatically โ€ข A quality score on every run, so you know how much to trust it โ€ข Works with RaceBox, Dragy and other NMEA GPS sensors FREE FOREVER โ€ข Unlimited measurement โ€ข Shareable power-curve card โ€ข Web reports POWERTORA PRO โ€ข PDF dyno reports with quality breakdowns โ€ข Merge 3โ€“6 runs into one high-confidence curve โ€ข Before/after comparison exports โ€ข Multi-GPS fusion for extra accuracy โ€ข Unlimited garage โ€ข Road maps โ€” curvature, grade and wind per run โ€ข Cloud backup and recovery HOW IT WORKS Pick your car, enter its weight, and drive: one pull to the limiter, then coast back down on the same road. Powertora does the physics. Measuring is free โ€” upgrade to Pro for the full tuning workflow. Powertora Pro is an auto-renewable subscription (monthly or yearly) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; a subscription auto-renews unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends, managed in your Apple Account settings.
