SpeedCue

Features
Read full description

SpeedCue is a calm, private GPS speed instrument. It shows a large, glanceable estimate of your current speed as a supplemental display β€” designed for a short glance while your attention stays on the road. MAKE IT YOURS β€’ Four speedometer styles β€” Ring, Analog, Numeric and Minimal. β€’ Five vehicle presets β€” Car, Bicycle, Motorcycle, Boat and RV β€” each scaling the gauge to your ride, and each remembering its own style and speed colour. β€’ Read your speed in km/h, mph or knots. β€’ Choose the colour of the speed itself. β€’ Three home-screen app icons β€” included, with nothing to unlock. RECORD YOUR DRIVES β€’ Start, pause and resume a trip whenever you like β€” the speedometer is always on, so recording is your choice, not a requirement. β€’ Live trip stats while you drive: distance, duration, average and top speed, and moving vs stopped time. β€’ A local trip history you can review or clear at any time. MORE THAN A SPEEDOMETER β€’ A G-force meter that marks your peak and scales up automatically as the forces grow. β€’ A compass with a heading-up rose, full degree markings and a clear heading readout. β€’ A top-speed marker on the dial, labelled with the number. β€’ An optional speed alert with a calm, steady cue β€” no flashing. TWO MODES β€’ Dashboard β€” a direct, high-contrast speed display. The recommended default, day or night. β€’ Reflection HUD β€” a low-light, mirrored view for reflecting off your windshield, after a quick parked compatibility check. Best in the dark; some windshields aren't suitable, and SpeedCue tells you honestly when to use Dashboard instead. BUILT FOR A GLANCE β€’ Designed for both portrait and landscape, on iPhone and iPad. β€’ The controls fade away while you drive and return with a tap, so nothing sits between you and the number. β€’ No ads, prompts, or purchases ever interrupt a drive. HONEST BY DESIGN β€’ Shows a clear "β€”" when the GPS signal is weak or unavailable, instead of a stale or made-up number. β€’ A visible GPS signal and battery reading, so you always know what the instrument knows. PRIVATE BY DESIGN β€’ Works entirely on your device. No account, no servers, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. β€’ Your location is used only while a drive is open, to calculate speed, and is never stored or sent anywhere. Your route is never recorded. Please note: SpeedCue provides a GPS speed estimate and is a supplemental display. It is not a replacement for your vehicle's speedometer or for road signs. Set up and adjust it only while parked. The windshield reflection works best in low light and may be unreadable on some windshields.
