Vehicle dynamics, visualized

See how your car really drives.

Grip turns your iPhone into a live vehicle-dynamics display. Every time you accelerate, brake, or corner, it draws the grip you're using into one continuous shape — turning something you can only feel into something you can see.

How it works

Mount. Open. Drive.
01

Mount

Drop your iPhone in a dash or vent mount, portrait. No calibration, no external sensors — the phone is the whole rig.

02

Open

Allow Location to align the four axes to your car and unlock drift angle — or skip it and still read g-force straight away.

03

Drive

Accelerate, brake, and corner. Watch the envelope fill toward the limit — then tap share to export the shape you drew.

The whole rig is your phone.

A dedicated dynamics display is a wired box, a dash pod, and a wiring loom. Grip reads your iPhone's own motion sensors and shows your g-forces the moment you pull away — a check from the driver's seat, not an install.

What it shows

LIVE · envelope

The grip envelope

One shape for the grip you're using in every direction. The closer it reaches the ring, the closer you are to the limit.

REALTIME · four axes

Braking · accel · cornering

Acceleration, braking, and lateral load, live on four axes as the car responds to every input you make.

SLIP · degrees

Drift angle, live

How far the car's heading has stepped out from its line — 0° tracking straight, growing as it rotates.

SHARE · one card

Share your session

Export your session shape, peak forces, and timestamp as a single card you can keep or send.

TEN · colorways

Pick your color

Ten colorways — the whole readout recolors to match your dash and your mood.

ON-DEVICE · no cloud

Private by default

No account, no cloud, no analytics. Motion and location are processed live on-device and never leave it.

Every drive leaves a shape.

That shape is a portrait of how you drive. A tall, even envelope is smooth and balanced; a lopsided one shows where you lift early or trail-brake past the edge. Read it at a glance — how hard the car is working, and how much grip is still in reserve.

Drift Angle
12°

Read the car's slip in real time.

0° is straight tracking under power or braking. As the car rotates beyond its line, the angle grows — no calibration, no setup, just another layer of insight into how it behaves at the limit.

Ten colorways

One instrument, in your color.

New in 1.3 · Runs Free

Your quarter-mile, caught automatically.

Grip watches in the background while you drive. Set a roll or stage a standing launch, floor it, and it banks your 60-foot, 0–60, and quarter-mile — timed from the instant you rolled into it. No button, no countdown — you decide it was a run after the run.

Ambient capture. A hard highway merge just gets caught — it already banked your run.
Honest by default. Only numbers we can stand behind. Silence beats a questionable readout.
Bests earn a crown. Every run that holds a record gets marked — just the record, no clutter.
A logbook that fills itself. Every banked run lands in History with the car that set it — browse any drive’s numbers later.
