About

OVERDRIVE

Features
Read full description

OVERDRIVE is an iPhone app that tracks the roads you drive and paints them onto your own map. Your city starts dark and fills in, street by street, every time you drive, anywhere on earth. It works like the map in an open-world driving game, except the roads are real. Flow scores how smoothly you drive. Speed and drifting are never scored or ranked. LIGHT THE CITY Your map is a dark clay model of your city's real streets, and the only light in it is the road you drove. Start a drive, put the phone down and go. When you park, every new street you covered stays lit for good. EVERY DRIVE ENDS ON A RESULTS SCREEN Your route draws itself in light, then you see what you lit, your flow and the XP you earned. Each drive becomes a poster ready to post, with the first and last 300 m of every road left off, so where you start and stop stays private. 58 ACHIEVEMENTS Medals for distance, road trips, discovery, streaks, smooth driving, crews and more, with a few kept secret. The drives you've already recorded count. Not one of them rewards speed. 2,206 ZONES IN 230 CITIES Coins to collect, flow zones to drive cleanly, scenic roads and new areas to discover. Or create zones of your own. FLOW, NOT SPEED Flow rewards a calm, smooth line: steady inputs, clean corners, gentle stops. It stays hidden while you're moving and shows up once you've stopped, so your eyes stay on the road. A REASON TO DRIVE TOMORROW Daily challenges, a Weekend Run, streaks to keep alive, levels to climb and your smoothest runs on the roads you know. DRIVE WITH YOUR CREW Add friends, start or join a crew, chat, plan car meets and climb the distance board. Convoy shows friends and crew-mates on your map while you drive. Sharing your own position is off until you switch it on. GHOST DRIVERS Simulated drivers wander your map so the city never feels empty. Every one is tagged GHOST. They aren't real people, and you can switch them off in Garage. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN While you drive, distance, time and flow sit on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so there is nothing to tap. YOURS BY DEFAULT Your routes and your painted map are stored on your iPhone, not on our servers. No ads, no tracking SDKs. Crews, friends, messages and Convoy use an anonymous account created on your device, with no email address and no password. OVERDRIVE speaks 14 languages and picks yours automatically. Use OVERDRIVE as a road tracker, a map of every road you've driven, a fog-of-war map of your own city, or a reason to take the long way home. OVERDRIVE PRO Your first two drives are free, with everything unlocked: no card, nothing to cancel. After them, OVERDRIVE Pro unlocks the whole app. Choose weekly, monthly or annual; prices are shown in the app, in your currency, before you pay. Annual and monthly include a 3-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase or, if you start a free trial, when the trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://overdriveapps.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://overdriveapps.com/privacy.html Drive safe. OVERDRIVE is for enjoying the roads you already drive, never a speed contest or a race. Obey local traffic laws and leave the phone alone while you drive.

Every road tells a story. Untraced makes sure you never lose them again. Drive like you normally do. In the background, Untraced quietly records your trips and reveals the roads you've driven on your own personal map β€” building a living atlas of everywhere you've actually been, one drive at a time. NEVER FORGET A ROAD Untraced turns every trip into progress. The backroad on the way to the coast, the detour that turned out better than the plan β€” it's all recorded, mapped, and yours to look back on. AUTOMATIC, EFFORTLESS TRACKING Turn on auto-detection once and Untraced takes it from there. Drives start and stop themselves β€” no taps, no timers, no forgetting to hit record. Built to sip battery, so it runs quietly in the background all day. WATCH YOUR ATLAS GROW Every drive lights up new roads on your map. Earn XP, level up, and unlock badges as you cover more distance, explore more cities, and build longer streaks. RELIVE YOUR DRIVES Every trip gets its own detail view with route, distance, speed and stats. Turn any drive into a shareable story card for your favorite roads and biggest discoveries. ORGANIZE INTO CHAPTERS Group drives into chapters β€” a road trip, a season, a chapter of your life β€” and share the whole story at once. FULLY LOCALIZED Untraced is available in English and German, with more languages on the way. UNTRACED PRO Go further with an optional subscription: β€’ Complete drive history, forever (free tier keeps your last 30 days) β€’ Neon and Minimal share card styles β€’ Monthly and yearly recap, with a time-lapse of your progress β€’ Scrub the fog through time to see your atlas as it grows β€’ Custom map ink and backdrop colors, applied throughout the app β€’ Full city and country collection, tracked automatically Untraced only uses your location to detect and record drives β€” never to track you outside the car. Your trips stay yours. Your roads. Your story. Untraced. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
