Overview

What is ApexLap?

ApexLap turns your iPhone into a lap timer for track days. It detects the start and finish line automatically, times every lap with millisecond interpolation, and saves each lap the instant it completes, so a crash or a dead battery never costs you your data.

The free app already includes automatic timing, access to more than 500 built-in circuits worldwide including karting, and the ability to create your own start line for any track. Apex Pro adds a full data-logger: telemetry, video overlay export, lap comparison, external GPS receivers, OBD-II data, and progression tracking across sessions.

In depth

ApexLap, in detail

How Does ApexLap Time Laps Automatically?

ApexLap detects your start and finish line and times every lap with millisecond interpolation, without any manual input. Each lap is saved to your phone the instant it completes, so a crash or a dead battery never costs you your data.

The timing engine has been refined for short tracks and small kart circuits too: laps are now timed correctly on short ovals, and two laps are no longer merged into one.

What Does Apex Pro Add to ApexLap?

Apex Pro turns ApexLap into a full data-logger. It adds video overlay export that burns lap time, speed, G-force, and a track map into your footage, along with full telemetry: speed traces, G-forces, auto sectors, and a live delta against your best lap.

Apex Pro also supports external 10 Hz GPS receivers such as RaceBox, Garmin GLO, and Dual, plus OBD-II engine data. You get lap comparison to overlay two laps and see exactly where the time was made or lost, progression analysis per circuit, setup sheets for tires, pressures, and settings, unlimited custom circuits, and CSV export.

Does ApexLap Work for Both Cars and Karting?

Yes. ApexLap is built for track days across cars, motorcycles, and karting. It includes more than 500 built-in circuits worldwide, karting tracks included, and you can create your own start line for any track in seconds if yours isn’t already in the library.
