OVERDRIVE
OVERDRIVE 2.0 · iPhone
Every road you drive lights up.
Your city starts dark. Drive it, and it fills in, street by street. Scored on how smoothly you drive, never on speed.
This is Silver Lake, at night.
Every street is here. None of them are yours yet.
Start a drive. Put the phone down.
It records hands-free and snaps your line to the real street.
Silver Lake Loop. Zone earned.
2,206 zones in 230 cities give every drive somewhere to aim.
Every street you take switches on. And stays on.
Park, and the new roads are yours for good.
4.5 km. Under 1% of Los Angeles.
Then go and light the rest.
4.5 KM · 0.95% OF LOS ANGELES · 1 ZONE
The map is OVERDRIVE's own clay-city style, drawn from OpenStreetMap data (live in your browser on desktop). The route is a real 4.5 km loop through Silver Lake, Los Angeles; the app completes a discovery zone after 600 m inside it.
The real app
Park. See what you lit.
Every drive ends on a results screen. Your route draws itself in light, then you see what you lit, your flow and the XP you earned.

Start while parked and put the phone down. Each street lights up as you take it.

Nothing to tap.
While you drive, distance, time and flow sit on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Pick a destination and it counts down the kilometres to go.
Flow, not speed
Scored on smooth. Not speed.
Flow rewards a calm line: steady pace, clean corners, gentle stops. On the drive screen it stays hidden while you're moving and shows once you stop. It's fair to what you drive, from a car to a scooter, and Passenger mode paints without scoring.

No speed leaderboardSpeed is never scored
Your average and top speed appear on your own drive, and on a poster only if you choose to share it. They are never scored, ranked or part of any competition.
Somewhere to aim
Your city, zone by zone.
Flow roads to drive cleanly, coins to collect, scenic routes and new areas to discover. New ground raises your city's percentage. Or drop a zone of your own, anywhere on earth.

Bring your crew.
Add friends by driver code, start or join a crew, chat, plan car meets and climb your city's distance board together. Convoy puts friends and crew-mates on your map while you drive. Sharing your position stays off until you switch it on.
Report and block are one tap away. Ghost drivers are simulated, always tagged GHOST, and can be switched off.
Your licence. Your posters.
Your level, your city's percentage and every kilometre you've painted, on one card in Garage.
Every drive becomes a 9:16 poster. The first and last 300 m of every drive are left off, so where you start and stop stays private.
First two drives free. Then Pro.
Your first two drives open everything, with no card and nothing to cancel. Every drive after them needs OVERDRIVE Pro. Billed by Apple; cancel any time in Settings.

Questions, answered.
Is there an app that shows which roads I've already driven?
That is what OVERDRIVE does. Record a drive and the streets you covered are painted onto your own map, so your city starts dark and fills in as you explore it. The roads you have never taken stay unpainted — which is the part that makes the map worth filling.
How is this different from a mileage tracker or a dashcam?
A mileage tracker gives you a number and a dashcam gives you footage. OVERDRIVE gives you a map. Every drive is kept as a route you can look back at, each is scored on how smoothly you drove rather than how fast, and the roads you have not driven yet become the thing you are chasing.
Does driving faster give me a higher score?
No, never. Flow scores smoothness. There is no speed leaderboard, lap timer or drift score anywhere in the app. Your average and top speed appear on your own drive screens, and on a poster only if you share one.
Does it work outside the United States?
Yes. Roads paint anywhere on earth, and 230 cities in 53 countries and territories have curated zones. The app speaks 14 languages.
Do I have to hold my phone?
No. Start the drive while parked, put the phone down and drive. It records hands-free, and distance, time and flow show on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
Can other people see where I live?
Posters leave off the first and last 300 m of every drive. Your painted map and drives are stored on your iPhone. Convoy is off until you switch it on, and only friends and crew-mates can see it.
Where is my data stored?
On your iPhone by default — drives, discovery, profile and stats. Online features also use services for map tiles, road matching, profile and crew data, and drive-summary statistics. There are no ads and no tracking SDKs. Read our privacy policy and in-app settings before sharing information.
What are the medals?
58 achievements for distance, road trips, discovery, streaks, smooth driving and more, 9 of them secret. Not one rewards speed.
Does it drain my battery?
It uses GPS, so it costs more than an idle phone. There's a Power Saver mode that lowers the sample rate for long drives.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. iPhone only for now.
How do I cancel?
Settings → your name → Subscriptions → OVERDRIVE → Cancel. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.
