Grip

Vehicle dynamics,
visualized.

Grip turns your iPhone into a live vehicle dynamics display. As you accelerate, brake, and corner, it shows how your car is using the grip available to it — turning something you can only feel into something you can see.

What it does

Every drive leaves a shape.

That shape is a portrait of how you drive. Every time you accelerate, brake, or turn, your car draws on the grip between its tires and the road — and Grip gathers all of it into one continuous picture. At a glance you can see how hard the car is working, how smooth your inputs are, and how much grip is still in reserve.

Live grip envelope

A single shape that shows how much of your car's grip you're using, in every direction, as it happens. The closer it reaches its edge, the closer you are to the limit.

Real-time vehicle dynamics

Acceleration, braking, and cornering, shown live as your car responds to every input — the kind of insight once found only on a performance car's dashboard.

Privacy by default

No account, no sign-up, nothing sent to the cloud. Your drives stay on your device, and location is used only to sense your direction of travel — never stored.

Also included

Drift angle, when you want it.

Alongside the live grip picture, Grip can show your drift angle — how far the car's heading has stepped out from its direction of travel. It's one more way to read what the car is doing, computed continuously as you drive.

Drift Angle
12°

Read the car's slip in real time.

0° is straight tracking under braking or acceleration. As the car begins to rotate beyond its line, the angle grows. No calibration, no setup — just another layer of insight into how your car behaves.

How it works

Mount it, open it, drive.

Grip reads your iPhone's motion sensors — no calibration, no waiting. It shows your g-forces the moment you pull away. Allow Location and it also aligns the four axes to your car in any mount position and unlocks drift angle.

Mount it

Place your iPhone in a dashboard or vent mount in portrait orientation.

Open Grip

Allow Location (optional) to align the axes to your car and unlock drift angle — or skip it and still see your g-forces.

Drive

Accelerate, brake, and corner, and watch how your car uses the grip available to it.
