For iPhone and CarPlay
JourneyPulse is navigation, logbook and trip computer in one app. You don't need an account or a subscription, and your trips stay on your iPhone.
Navigation, traffic warnings, a logbook and vehicle diagnostics usually live in separate apps. Here they work together: the route knows about the jam, the logbook knows the route, and the OBD adapter knows your fuel consumption.
Voice guidance even in the background, alternative routes, stopovers and destinations by voice. An optional map data set for Germany, Austria and Switzerland or for Tunisia adds offline routing, speed limits and lane guidance.
Roadworks, closures and traffic jams on your route, plus German Weather Service warnings for your expected arrival time. You see the delay in minutes right away.
Trips start and end automatically, even with the display locked. The app recognises places where you stay for a while.
Business, private or commute, preset if you like. Export trips as GPX and reports as CSV or PDF.
With a Bluetooth OBD adapter you see live values and fuel consumption, and read fault codes in plain language.
CarPlayMap, lane hints and hazard alerts in your car.
Dynamic IslandLive Activity during your trip.
Siri and ShortcutsStart a trip, report a hazard, navigate home.
Control CenterA quick switch while you're out.
No start button to remember. By evening, the trip is in your history with its route and duration.
You see early what's happening on your route and how much time it costs, so you can still react.
Arrival times learn from your own trips, right on your iPhone. The ECO analysis shows how smoothly you drove.
“An app that records where you are knows a great deal about you. That knowledge belongs to you and nobody else.”
It can't work entirely without the internet: for maps, routes, warnings and weather, the app queries external services and sends the map area they need. See which services
JourneyPulse began with a day in an unfamiliar city and the wish to look back that evening at everywhere you'd been. The tracker became a navigation app, and the navigation app became a companion for the car.
There's no corporation behind it, just one developer. Your feedback goes straight to him. He fixes bugs as quickly as possible and is happy to take requests.

No. There's no sign-up and no user account. Install the app and drive.
Yes, with an optional map data set for Germany, Austria and Switzerland or for Tunisia, the app calculates routes on the device. Without map data it uses Apple Maps, which needs a connection.
Background recording uses GPS and can increase battery use. Location tracking adapts to your movement, and the “important places only” profile is especially frugal.
No. It's a private overview, for example for commuting allowances. It has no edit lock and no mandatory odometer reading.
Offline maps are available for Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Tunisia. Official traffic data and weather warnings come from German sources. Other limits are listed under Known Limitations.
