Your iPhone. Your personal co-pilot.
Every drive.
A little more alive.
Meet the story behind your steering wheel. Live speed, every turn, and every trip — all on your iPhone. No adapter needed.
Free, no account, iOS 17 or later. Version 1.3.
Starting out
Three taps, and the drive is on the record.
Nothing to install in the car, nothing to pair, no account to make. Your phone already has the sensor that matters.
-
Press Start a drive
OBDrive asks for location once, then begins recording speed, route and time straight away.
-
Drive as you normally would
Speed stays on screen, on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so the phone can stay in its cradle.
-
Read the recap
Distance and duration lead, with your route, Eco score and the full breakdown a tap behind them.
Version 1.3
What it looks like at 72 km/h.
The redesigned Drive screen puts speed in the middle and your route right underneath it.
Swipe or drag to move through the set.
With and without a plug
The adapter is optional. It’s also where fuel comes from.
A Bluetooth ELM327 adapter in the OBD2 port turns estimates into measurements. Until you fit one, the phone-only side still records every drive.
