Status Bar Speedometer

Status Bar Speedometer is an open-source Android application that displays travel speed in the device’s status bar. It uses GPS-based speed information to make the reading available within the Android interface. The application is intended for Android users who want to check their speed without leaving another app they are using during travel. Its purpose is limited to presenting speed information and does not replace attention to the road or surrounding conditions.

The status bar placement makes the speed reading part of the regular Android interface rather than a separate destination that users must open for every check. This can suit people who need to view travel speed while another application is active. Anyone using the application while driving should avoid handling or watching the phone in a way that creates a safety risk. The open-source license means the software is provided as source-available software, and the project is published on GitHub.

In MirrorNest’s catalog, Status Bar Speedometer is listed under Navigation & Travel for the Android platform. MirrorNest mirrors the official build directly onto its own storage and scans it for malware before publishing it. This gives readers a catalog download route while keeping the package tied to the official build. The application therefore fits MirrorNest as an open-source Android navigation tool focused on displaying GPS-based speed in the status bar.
