Safety

How Rovee is designed to keep your eyes on the road.

How Rovee is built for the road

• Glance-only while moving. Big numbers, the speed limit and your buddy's face. Nothing needs a tap while you drive.
• Play when parked. The Trip Bag, feeding, petting and the wardrobe unlock only once you've stopped. On CarPlay, buddy care is shown only while parked.
• Speed is never rewarded. There are no top-speed records or acceleration timers. Going over the limit scares your buddy, lowers your trip score and drains XP.
• Gentle alerts. A calm heads-up when you go over the limit, never a game sound to chase.

Before you drive

• Pick your dashboard, units and alerts, and download your country's speed-limit pack over Wi-Fi.
• Mount your iPhone securely, where it doesn't block your view of the road, mirrors or airbags, and follow local laws on phone mounts.
• Use CarPlay when your car supports it: it puts Rovee on the car's own screen.

Speed and speed limits are guidance

Rovee's speed comes from GPS and can lag in tunnels, between tall buildings or with a weak signal. Speed limits come from OpenStreetMap and can be missing or out of date, especially in work zones, school zones and on roads with variable limits. Always follow posted signs, road conditions and local law. Rovee is not a certified speed-measuring device.

Spotted a wrong limit? You can fix it for everyone on openstreetmap.org, or tell us at support@getrovee.app.

HUD mode

HUD mode shows a mirrored readout to reflect on your windshield at night. Use it only where this is legal, keep brightness low, and stop using it if the reflection distracts you or blocks your view.

Bike and walk modes

On a bike, use a secure handlebar mount and keep your eyes up. On foot, put the phone away near traffic. Your buddy will still count every step.

Children and passengers

Passengers are welcome to play with the buddy while you drive, as long as it doesn't distract the driver. Rovee is made for drivers and is not directed to children under 13.
