What's in the toolbox

Everything between you
and your next personal best

Live telemetry & predictive timing

Lap time, delta to your best, predicted lap and speed - live on your phone, big enough to read at 120 mph.

Session analysis & lap compare

Scrub through every lap, overlay speed and braking traces against your best, and see exactly where the time went.

Video overlays, auto-synced

LapSmith matches your camera footage - imported over Wi-Fi or USB - to GPS and engine data automatically, then exports broadcast-style overlay videos ready to share.

Two cameras, mixed and matched

Control up to two action cameras at once - GoPro, DJI Osmo and Insta360, in any mix - and add your phone's front and rear cameras for up to four angles on every lap.

AI coach for your next session

After each session, LapSmith reviews your laps, surfaces the biggest gains, and gives you specific things to work on next time out.

Your whole rig, one app

RaceBox and Dragy GPS, OBD engine data, GoPro, DJI and Insta360 cameras, and heart-rate sensors connect side by side - with clear status for every device before you roll out.

Hands-free, gloves on

Start a session with Siri or the iPhone Action Button - Google Assistant on Android - then LapSmith arms itself and starts recording the moment you're up to speed.

CarPlay on the dash

Lap time, delta and session status on your car's own screen - phone mounted or pocketed, eyes where they belong.

Bring your history

Coming from another app? Import your existing laps from RaceChrono, TrackAddict, Harry's LapTimer, VBOX, AiM and GPX files, and analyze them right alongside your LapSmith sessions.

Race procedure

Three steps to the grid

  1. 01

    Connect your gear

    Pair your RaceBox, OBD adapter and GoPro once. LapSmith remembers your rig and checks it's ready before every session.

  2. 02

    Drive

    Start hands-free with Siri or the Action Button - or just drive. Laps detect automatically at the start-finish line, recording arms itself and rolls up to speed, with live timing on screen and coaching in your ears.

  3. 03

    Review, coach, share

    Compare laps corner by corner, find the time, and export overlay videos that look like they came off a race broadcast.

On the dash

Timing where your
eyes already are

With CarPlay, LapSmith puts lap time, predicted lap, delta and data quality on your car's built-in display. No suction mounts, no glancing down - just the numbers that matter, at a glance.

In the garage

Bring your whole rig

LapSmith works with the track-day hardware you already own - or nothing but the phone in your pocket. Pair each device once and LapSmith checks it's ready before you roll out.

GPS & motion

  • Phone GPS Built-in No extra hardware - record laps with your phone's own GPS and motion sensors.
  • RaceBox Mini · Mini S · Micro 25Hz · BLE External 25 Hz GPS and IMU over Bluetooth LE. The Mini S and Micro also record standalone to their own memory; the Micro is externally powered rather than battery-powered.
  • Dragy GPS · Pro · Lite 25Hz · BLE Dragy performance meters over Bluetooth LE. LapSmith switches them to four-GNSS at 25 Hz where Performance mode allows, instead of leaving them at the 10 Hz default.
  • Dual XGPS160 · XGPS150 10Hz / 5Hz · Bluetooth Dual Electronics SkyPro receivers - 10 Hz on the XGPS160, 5 Hz on the XGPS150. Pair in your phone's Bluetooth settings first.

Engine data (OBD-II)

  • Generic ELM327 BLE / Classic Any standard ELM327-compatible OBD-II adapter, over Bluetooth Classic or LE.
  • OBDLink MX+ · MX · LX · CX BLE / Classic Fast, reliable OBD readers. On iPhone and iPad the MX+ and CX work; the LX and MX are Android-only.
  • VeePeak OBDCheck BLE+ BLE Low-energy Bluetooth OBD adapter for iOS and Android.
  • Custom PIDs Mode 01 · 22 Add sensors the standard list misses with Torque-style formulas, pasted straight in.

CAN bus

  • KDMLink N-Link BLE For Hyundai N cars - taps the internal C-CAN bus to reach boost, gear and steering angle.
  • RaceChrono DIY BLE BLE DIY modules that tap a CAN bus in the car and stream it over Bluetooth - signals the OBD port can't reach.
  • DBC files .dbc Stream raw CAN from an OBDLink adapter and decode it with a DBC file for your car.

Action cameras

  • GoPro BLE · Wi-Fi · USB HERO5-HERO8, HERO (2018), HERO9-HERO13 Black, HERO11 Black Mini, MAX 2 and LIT HERO. Controlled over Bluetooth; footage imported over Wi-Fi or USB for auto-synced overlays.
  • DJI Osmo Action BLE · USB Osmo Action 4 and newer. Controlled over Bluetooth - LapSmith starts and stops recording automatically; import the footage afterwards for overlays.
  • Insta360 X-series 360 · BLE X3, X4, X4 Air and X5 360 cameras. Controlled over Bluetooth - LapSmith starts and stops recording automatically, with a live preview on iPhone. Reframe the 360 footage in the Insta360 app afterwards, then import it for overlays.

Heart rate

  • Bluetooth LE monitors BLE Any standard Bluetooth LE heart-rate strap or monitor - no specific brand required.
  • Apple Watch watchOS Stream live heart rate from a paired Apple Watch on iPhone. LapSmith uses a temporary Watch workout and discards it when the session ends - install the LapSmith Watch app first.

Bluetooth devices pair on iOS and Android, and you can mix GoPro, DJI and Insta360 action cameras with your phone's own - up to four cameras in a single session. GoPro footage imports over Wi-Fi or USB while LapSmith stays open; update your camera firmware before first pairing. HERO5-HERO8 and HERO (2018) pair once with the official GoPro Quik app first, and offload over Wi-Fi rather than USB. Insta360 X-series cameras are set up once in the official Insta360 app, pair one at a time, and need Android 9 or newer.

Session analysis on a tablet: insights and laps side by side

On the big screen

Room to read the
whole lap

LapSmith is a universal app - it runs natively on iPad and Android tablets, in any orientation. On a bigger screen the session browser, analysis workspace and live dashboard reflow into multi-pane layouts, so your laps, map, traces and insights sit side by side instead of a swipe away.

  • Native iPad & Android tablet app
  • Multi-pane session analysis & live dashboard
  • Portrait or landscape - your call

Free forever for early testers.
