How it works
Every approaching car, with its speed.
-
Live radar field
Vehicles appear at the top of the screen and glide down toward you, each labelled with its speed as it closes in.
-
Peak speed, kept
The most trustworthy reading is the one taken far away, so each vehicle keeps its top speed. Recent vehicles stay in a strip along the bottom.
-
Best standing still
Set the radar at the roadside, aimed up the road. When the radar isn’t moving, what it measures is the vehicle’s real speed.
-
Works with Garmin Varia
Pairs with the Varia RTL515 and RCT715. Speeds show in mph or km/h, following your iPhone’s region.
Free and private
A free utility for everyone.
-
No account
No sign-up and no login. Pair your radar once and it reconnects on its own.
-
Nothing leaves your phone
Acme Radar talks to your radar over Bluetooth and nothing else. It has no servers, no ads, and no tracking.
-
Not a radar gun
The speeds are for curiosity and traffic awareness. The radar reports to the nearest 1 km/h, and its readings aren’t certified for enforcement.
