About this app
Status Bar Tachometer keeps a running readout of how fast you're moving, shown quietly as a notification in your status bar. It uses your phone's GPS to calculate speed in real time, without needing a full navigation app open.
It's handy for cyclists, runners, or drivers who just want a quick glance at their speed without any extra clutter on screen.
