Yes. Velocity is completely free. The speedometer, altitude, distance, route history, wind compass and weather card are all included, with no ads and no subscriptions.

How accurate is the speed?

Velocity reads speed, altitude and route directly from your iPhone's GPS. Accuracy depends on GPS signal and conditions. Battery Saver mode uses lower accuracy GPS to extend ride time, so speed and route stay usable while altitude precision degrades slightly.

What's Inside

Everything you want at a glance, nothing you don't.

Velocity shows your speed in big, readable numbers, layers in altitude, weather and a wind compass, and records your routes privately so you can look back at every ride.

The Main Read

Speed first. Huge, instant, readable.

The center of Velocity is a single, oversized speed read you can check with one glance. Altitude sits right below it, with weather and a wind compass tucked into the corners so the screen never feels busy.

Large Numbers. A display mode tuned for a quick glance at any speed.
mph and km/h, together. See both units at once, tap to switch which one leads.
Wind compass. Shows whether you've got a headwind, tailwind or crosswind, so you know how the wind is affecting your ride.

Yes, completely. The speedometer, altitude, distance, route history, wind compass (headwind, tailwind and crosswind) and weather card are all included, with no ads and no subscriptions.

No. Velocity works without any account, email or sign-up. Open the app, enable Location, and start. Your rides stay on your iPhone.

Velocity has no analytics, no ads, and no account, and operates no server that receives your data. Your speed, altitude and route history are saved privately on your device. The only data that leaves your device is your current location, sent to Apple WeatherKit to show local weather, and only when the weather features are turned on. Read the full privacy policy.

Velocity reads speed, altitude and route directly from your iPhone's GPS, so accuracy depends on GPS signal and conditions. In open areas with a strong signal it's very close to your true speed; in tunnels, dense cities or canyons it can drift like any GPS app. Battery Saver mode uses lower accuracy GPS to extend ride time, so speed and route stay usable while altitude precision degrades slightly.

Continuous GPS tracking uses power like any navigation or fitness app. To help on longer rides, Velocity includes a Battery Saver mode that lowers GPS accuracy to extend ride time. For long sessions, charging in a mount is recommended.

Yes. Velocity measures GPS speed regardless of how you're moving, so it works for cycling, driving, motorcycling, running, skiing and more. It's a glanceable read, not a turn-by-turn navigation app.

No. Velocity is free, with no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no ads.

Weather and wind come from Apple WeatherKit, so they need a signal and a location, and can occasionally be unavailable. When that happens the weather card simply stays empty while the speedometer, altitude and ride tracking keep working normally. You can also turn the weather features off entirely in Settings.
