About Drive Mode: Car Dashboard App
Your phone is the screen — this app does not mirror to or connect with your car's display.
Drive Mode: Car Dashboard App turns your mounted phone into one calm driving mode screen with big buttons: music, maps, calls and the time, all reachable at a glance. It is a free car dashboard app with no locked tiles, no subscription and no ads.
WHAT YOU GET
• Big clock and date, with an optional GPS speed tile: a simple car dashboard speedometer (GPS speed may differ from your car's speedometer)
• Music controls: see what's playing and play, pause or skip in the music app you already use
• One-tap navigation to Home or Work in your maps app
• Up to 6 favorite contacts, one tap to call
• "Where I parked": save your spot or a quick note, then navigate back to your car
• Day and night themes, keep-screen-on, and dim mode for night driving
• Portrait and landscape layouts for any phone mount
• Start car mode fast from a home-screen shortcut or a Quick Settings tile
A DRIVING MODE APP THAT STAYS SIMPLE
Many people look for a driving mode app that just shows the few things they need on the road. Drive mode for Android here means one dashboard for your car: tap once to open your maps, music or phone app, and the big tiles stay easy to hit while the phone sits in its mount.
A CAR DASHBOARD LAUNCHER SCREEN, NOT A HOME-SCREEN REPLACEMENT
It works like a car launcher or driving mode launcher for the drive: one car screen that opens the apps you already use. Your normal home screen, maps app and music app stay exactly as they are.
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
• It does not connect to your car or mirror to its display
• It does not replace your maps or music apps; it opens them
• It does not read your notifications or messages, and it has no voice control
PRIVACY
No account, no ads, no analytics, no internet permission. Your settings, favorites and parking spot stay on your phone. Every permission is optional, and the car dashboard works without them.
Set it up before you drive. Mount your phone securely and follow your local laws.
