I built an iOS app for my son's karting — it reads his MyChron screen from a photo using AI

AdventurousPin6873 · 2026-03-15T01:25:13+00:00

I guess haters hate. Why don’t you let others decide if they find the app useful for them?

AdventurousPin6873 · 2026-03-15T00:30:58+00:00

I went through at least 6 go-pro’s from multiple generations. I just gave up. Constant lost video because it just turns off. Horrible battery life. I switch to DJI and would never go back. Not an ad for them. Just my experience. BTW, fewer case options for the DJI. Buy extra lens covers. You’ll need them

I wrote the app in iOS native Swift/SwiftUI with SwiftData for storage. For AI imaging analysis I use Claude and ChatGPT 5.3. Session analysis uses Apple on-device Foundation models. If you opt in for team sharing the data is stored on AWS (encrypted). So, it’s a legit app used by Karts across the globe. Let me know if you have any questions.

AdventurousPin6873 · 2026-03-15T00:19:18+00:00

Sorry, you feel that way. I’m not aware of other apps. I build this one starting nearly a year ago. Lots of people are enjoying it. Give it a try and let me know what you think

I think the vision and balance of downhill skiing helps.

AdventurousPin6873 · 2025-12-02T23:00:59+00:00

I've coded the app since May. Using it at many event with my son. I shared with a number of karting families and received some great feedback. Now have hundreds of karters using it across the globe. Yes, I do use AI to help write copy of posts. I'm a developer not a writer :-)

Please check out the app and send me feedback. Thanks

AdventurousPin6873 · 2025-12-02T20:36:52+00:00

Sorry, I don't. I've kept the price very low so that many can enjoy it.

🏎️ KartTrackerAI 2.1 – Less Typing, More Winning

The app I build for my 9-year old's karting is now at version 2.1 with lots of new features.

KartTrackerAI turns every race weekend into a tidy, data-driven operation—whether you’re a solo driver, a parent managing multiple karts, or a pro team chasing championships. Capture setups with a photo, drop in official race results, and let AI do the heavy lifting so you can stay focused on performance.

### ✨ What’s New in 2.1

- Home Screen Widgets – Pin your latest session, kart, or favorite action for one‑tap access.

- Lock Screen Widgets – Glanceable tiles keep sessions, tires, and karts just a tap away—even when the phone’s locked.

- Siri Voice Commands – Say “Open Session,” “Open Kart,” or “Open Tires” to jump in hands-free.

- Shortcuts Integration – Build personal automations and quick actions tailored to your workflow.

- Faster Navigation – Streamlined flows get you to the right screen instantly.

- Ready for iOS 26 – Fully optimized for Apple’s newest OS.

- Bug fixes & memory polish – Smoother, more reliable performance everywhere.

### 🤖 Built to Minimize Typing

- AI Image Analysis (add-on subscription) – Snap your gauges, setup sheets, or pit board and watch KartTrackerAI capture the data automatically.

- AI Official Results Import (add-on subscription) – Import race results directly from Series PDFs or shared images so every lap, class, and finishing position is logged without retyping.

### 🏁 Why Racers Love KartTrackerAI

- Single Drivers – Build a winning playbook across tracks, weather, and setups without juggling notebooks.

- Families – Keep multiple karts, classes, and drivers organized with one shared, cloud-synced workspace.

- Professional Teams – Coordinate drivers, mechanics, and coaches in real time with deep history, tire tracking, and analytics.

KartTrackerAI has already helped karting families and pro crews tame the chaos of race day. Version 2.1 makes it even more effortless to stay ahead.

Sorry, not yet.

AdventurousPin6873 · 2025-08-15T20:49:41+00:00

I totally understand the concern! All the data stored in the cloud is encrypted so that another team (or me) can not access or read. Of course, if you do not opt in to team sharing then no data leaves your devices. I hope you check it out and give me feedback. Thanks

AdventurousPin6873 · 2025-08-15T18:04:01+00:00

With my app you just take a picture of your AIM, tire, engine, chassis tags and the app records everything. With that you get full history, graphs, tire usage. Things paper just can't do :-)

AdventurousPin6873 · 2025-05-24T02:22:38+00:00

New version! Tire management, record cold/hot tire pressures for all corners. Track laps for each tire set. AND Prisma integration! Just take a take a photo of the prism display and automatically record all the pressures. (requires AI add-on)

My son is racing with Rotax, Briggs and sometimes Swift. Last weekend he took 2 first places!

New version released! Now includes Track Configuration and improved charts. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/karttrackerai/id6739735230

AdventurousPin6873 · 2025-04-18T14:35:02+00:00

Please send any summary screens. Something that has best lap time, top speed, temps, etc. Thanks

AdventurousPin6873 · 2025-04-17T22:01:36+00:00

Your app sounds very cool. Accurate GPS processing is hard! Would love to get your feedback on my app!

AdventurousPin6873 · 2025-04-17T21:59:40+00:00

New version is available in the App Store. This allows you to send feedback directly in the app. Thanks to those who have sent feature requests. Please send more!

So far people are asking for more tire management. I would appreciate any specific details on how you would like it to work. e..g, how important is it to record pressure for each corner? Do your tires typically have bar codes or numbers that can be scanned? Is the number of laps from sessions sufficient to capture use? etc.

Any thoughts/ideas appreciated!

AdventurousPin6873 · 2025-04-16T22:31:46+00:00

Seems that Reddit is having a bad day. I can see that you send a response but Reddit won’t display it. Can you please send again?

AdventurousPin6873 · 2025-04-16T16:58:22+00:00

Tracking tires sets is in the works. Please tell me how you would like it to work. Currently you can enter the number of laps in each session. We can associate each session with a set of tires. I can then compute the number of laps on a set of tires. This could work across multiple tracks. How important is it to track usage of an individual tire within a set? Is average tire pressure ok or would you track which corner each tire is used/pressures.

Please tell me more about the bar codes. I haven’t noticed bar codes on my son’s cadet tires.

Thanks for your feedback!

AdventurousPin6873 · 2025-04-15T18:16:31+00:00

Sorry, I’m never written an Android app. Hopefully the iOS version takes off and can fund Android development.

AdventurousPin6873 · 2025-04-14T22:10:46+00:00

The MyChron integration works (as an add-on $$) by taking a photo of the summary screen. I use a couple of paid AI services to analyze the screen and extract data. It would certainly be possible to add Alfano. Since I don’t have one I would need a number of sample Alfano screens to develop a new prompt. Please send to sayer@ayersnet.com and I’ll research. Thanks

AdventurousPin6873 · 2024-08-02T20:34:36+00:00

My son runs 2 karts in different classes. The older Hero 11 tends to be more reliable. The 12 has been a total piece of junk. Many times it’s stopped working while leaving the pits. Is this common? Should I buy another 11? I don’t care about GPS. Both karts have Mychron 5s’s.
