Performance cockpit for iPhone

Your butt dyno just got fired.

GhostShift measures what the seat of your pants can only guess: 0-60, quarter mile, drift score, lean angle and laps. Your iPhone's GPS and motion sensors team up, 20 times a second. No 200-buck box, no account, no cloud.

On track

More smoke. Fewer excuses.

Track day, drag strip, airfield, gymkhana course: wherever timing is allowed, GhostShift gets everything out of your car or bike. On public roads the app only records, and you drive by the rules.

Features

Data-logger feel. No data logger.

Acceleration & braking

Stop and the app is ready. Hit the throttle and it measures. Every time is cross-checked by the motion sensor.

0-10 … 0-20060 ft1/4 mi100-0

G-forces in 360°

The dot roams the whole circle: accelerating, braking, cornering and everything in between. Your peaks sit right on the ring.

Automatic lap times

Drive a few laps and GhostShift finds the start/finish line by itself. Race track, kart track or MX track: best lap, gaps and top speed per lap, highlighted on the map.

Drift & bike

Drift mode scores you on lateral G, live. Bike mode shows your lean angle in degrees.

Garage & trophies

Add your cars and bikes. Every best time belongs to the right vehicle, and the trophy wall shows what your setup can do.

Share in style

Time cards and 10-second reels of your drive for Instagram, TikTok and co., with your own photos and clips. You decide what you share.

Start lights & duel

Five red lights, then go: reaction time and 0-60 from the lights. In a duel, two iPhones launch side by side on the same lights, no internet needed. Closed courses only.

Apple Watch

Big speed on your wrist, a G-ball with a comet tail and start lights you can feel: every lamp taps your wrist.

OBD2 live

With an OBD2 adapter the cockpit shows real RPM, boost, temperatures and throttle, live from the ECU.

Kart, pocket bike, MX & co.

New track record. Yours.

Kart track, pocket-bike course, motocross track or track day: fix your iPhone to whatever you ride and GhostShift finds the start/finish line by itself. Every lap timed, the fastest one marked, gaps and top speed on the map. If it has an engine and sky above, it counts.

Your engine talks. We listen.

Plug an OBD2 adapter into the diagnostic port and GhostShift reads along live: RPM, boost, coolant and oil temperature, throttle, load and battery voltage. Over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, straight to your iPhone, logged in every session.

Duel

Who flinches first?

Two iPhones, one set of lights, no internet. Closed courses only.

More than timing

Lights. Duel. Badges.

Five red lights for the perfect launch, a duel against the iPhone next to you and 24 badges for the big moments. And your watch joins in. Closed courses only, obviously.

Drive. Share. Brag.

Every session turns into a time card or a reel with one tap, with your own clips from the day if you like. And whoever claims to be faster gets the lap list shoved under his nose.

Share

Your drive. Your feed.

One tap turns any session into a 10-second reel or a time card, in your design's look and with your own clips from the day if you like. Off it goes to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts or the group chat. Nothing is posted automatically.

Phone GPS on its own likes to jump. That's why GhostShift only counts a time when several sources agree.

  • GPS and sensors fusedSpeed is calculated 20 times a second from GPS and the accelerometer together.
  • Impossible times get binnedNo solid GPS fix and no real acceleration means no leaderboard entry.
  • Tested on real roadsMeasurements were checked against the GPS track on real test drives, not just in a lab.

// Coming to the App Store

Android version in the works.

Pro includes
  • Every measurement: 0-200, 60 ft, 1/8 and 1/4 mile, braking

Smoke belongs on the track. Not on the street.

Measurements, start lights and duels belong on closed private grounds and race tracks, with the operator's permission. On public roads the traffic laws apply: keep to speed limits, drive carefully and don't get tempted – street racing is illegal and dangerous. Never operate the app while driving and mount your iPhone securely. You drive at your own risk.

Questions

Quick answers.

Do I need extra hardware?

No. GhostShift uses your iPhone's GPS and motion sensors. All you need is a solid mount. For engine data you can optionally connect an OBD2 adapter (Bluetooth or Wi-Fi).

How accurate are the times?

Very good for comparing against yourself and against factory figures. GhostShift does not replace a certified timing device. It's most accurate under open sky with good GPS reception; the green GPS badge in the cockpit tells you when conditions are right.

Where does my data go?

It stays on your iPhone and nowhere else. There's no account and no server. A backup file takes everything to a new iPhone.

Does my iPhone get warm?

A little: GPS and a bright display work at the same time, in a car often while charging in the sun. That's harmless. The "Relaxed" sample rate keeps it cooler, and if it gets too hot GhostShift pauses all effects by itself and keeps measuring.

Which OBD2 adapter works?

Common ELM327 adapters with Bluetooth LE or Wi-Fi. Plug it in, connect it in GhostShift under Setup › Vehicle & sensors, done. Which values arrive depends on your car's ECU.

Does it work in a kart, on a pocket bike or for motocross?

Yes, with anything that takes a solid mount: kart, pocket bike, motocross, supermoto, quad or buggy. Two-wheelers get bike mode with lean angle. The one condition is open sky: GPS has no reception in indoor kart halls.

How does the duel work?

Two iPhones running GhostShift connect directly over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, no internet. One shared set of start lights gives the signal and each iPhone measures its own run. Challenging needs Pro, accepting is free. Closed courses only.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. At launch GhostShift is on the App Store for iPhone, with a companion app for Apple Watch. We're working on Android.

Subscription or one-time purchase?

Your choice: Pro yearly for €4.99 with a 3-day free trial, or €12.99 once, forever. Both unlock the same, including future Pro features.
