The Speed Comp app icon iPhone · Android

Volume that keeps up with the wind

Open the throttle and the wind takes your music with it. Speed Comp raises your Bluetooth volume as you speed up and eases it back as you slow — so you keep your hands where they belong instead of on the volume button.

If it moves, it works — boats, jet skis, motorcycles, ATVs, golf carts, snowmobiles, and whatever else you ride.

Three moving parts

Set a speed range, start compensation, and go. Everything after that is automatic.

1

Pick your range

Choose the speed where compensation should start and the speed where it should top out — in MPH or KPH. Below your minimum, the app leaves your volume alone entirely.

2

Set your baseline

Tap start at a volume that sounds right while stopped. That level becomes the floor. Speed Comp only ever adds to it — it will never turn your music down below where you set it.

3

Ride

GPS speed drives the volume curve continuously in the background, screen off. A Live Activity on iPhone, or an ongoing notification on Android, shows it running — with a stop button always one tap away.

Built for the way audio actually works

The details that separate this from stabbing the volume button with a wet thumb.

Smooth, not steppy Pro

A phone's volume moves in about fifteen or sixteen discrete steps. Pro fills the gaps between them, so the volume glides instead of jumping from one step to the next. On Android, open Speed Comp before your music app — the effect attaches to the audio session as that app starts it.

Works with your player

Spotify, YouTube Music, Pandora, Amazon Music, Audible, podcasts — Speed Comp moves the volume your player already uses, so anything that plays follows along. No per-app allowlist to maintain, no favourites left out.

A profile per ride Plus & Pro

A bowrider and a motorcycle need different curves, and so does whatever you take out next. Save a named profile for each and switch between them without redialling anything. Plus keeps three; Pro keeps as many as you like.

Try it parked

A built-in simulation ramps a fake speed from a standstill to your maximum, through the exact same code path as real GPS. Dial your curve in at the dock or in the garage, not at thirty knots.

Now playing at a glance Pro

Track, artist and album art on the main screen, with transport controls, so you are not digging through apps with the engine running. On Android the card follows whatever app is playing; on iPhone it shows Apple Music.

Your speed stays yours

Location is read on your phone, turned into a volume level on your phone, and never leaves it. No tracking, no advertising, no location history.

Where your data goes

Speed Comp needs precise location because that is the only way a phone knows how fast you are moving. It does not follow that the app needs to keep it, and it does not.

  • Your location and speed never leave your device — not to us, not to anyone.
  • No location history is stored, not even locally.
  • No ads, no advertising ID, no analytics or tracking SDKs.
  • No account to create. We never ask for your name or email to use the app.
  • On iPhone, Apple handles purchases on the device and the app talks to no server of ours at all.
  • On Android, purchases are verified against Google Play through our server — that is the only thing the app ever sends out.

Free to use, for as long as you like

Speed compensation is not a trial and does not expire. The only limit without a subscription is that each session runs for up to two hours, then stops — start it again and you get another two. A subscription lifts that limit and adds the extras below.

Free

No account, no ads, no expiry date.

  • Full speed-to-volume compensation
  • Two hours per session, restart as often as you like
  • Speed simulation for tuning while stopped

Plus

Everything in Free, without the session clock.

  • No session time limit
  • Up to three saved profiles

Pro

Everything in Plus, plus the audio extras.

  • Unlimited saved profiles
  • Smooth fine gain between volume steps
  • Now-playing display with transport controls (Apple Music on iPhone)

The only price that is right for you is the one on the subscription screen inside the app. The App Store or Google Play quotes it for your country and your account, including any introductory offer you qualify for, so a number printed here — or the range a store listing shows — can easily not be the number you would actually pay. Billing, renewals and refunds are handled entirely by Apple or Google; manage or cancel any time under Subscriptions in your Apple Account settings or your Google Play account.

Where it works, and where it doesn't

Worth knowing before you install, rather than after.

Built for

Your phone driving a Bluetooth speaker, a helmet headset or headphones. The vehicle does not matter — what matters is that you are the one setting the volume, and that wind is what you are fighting.

Not really for

Newer cars. A modern stereo tends to manage its own volume, and many already adjust for road noise on their own, so there is little left for Speed Comp to do. This is built for the boat and the bike, not the daily driver.

Support

Bring a bug, a setup that will not behave, or a vehicle nobody has tried yet. The Discord is the quickest way to reach us, and email works just as well. It is a small server and early — which means the person who wrote the app is the one reading it.
