onTrackTools – online help

This guide covers onTrackTools version 1.5.0. It explains how to import VBO and LD telemetry, plan and manage sessions, manage tracks and vehicles, compare laps, build analysis dashboards, import whole folders of sessions, manage drivers, create calculated Math Channels, generate track sectors, use video, work with the on-device AI assistants, understand the plans, and troubleshoot common issues.

What’s New Since The Previous Help Update

Version 1.5.0 is the biggest update so far: build your own analysis dashboards, import whole folders of sessions, keep track of who drove which lap, and choose between three plans.

Analysis Dashboard (PRO): named, reusable screens of widgets (Line Chart, XY Scatter, Track Map, Histogram, Statistics, Heatmap, Frequency) that follow the laps you select, with a marker linked to the analysis view, map and video. Statistics can compare every session on the same track across a whole season. Available on Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple Vision Pro. See Analysis Dashboard.
Drivers (PRO): the Garage gains a Drivers list. Assign drivers to a session, attribute laps to them, and see who drove each lap. See Drivers and Session Types.
Session types (every plan): mark a session as Track Day, HPDE, Race, Qualifying and more; filter and search the session list by type and driver.
Batch Import (PRO): import a whole folder of VBO and LD files in one go on Mac, iPad and Apple Vision Pro, with the track, vehicle, drivers and session type worked out for you and editable before importing. See Batch Import.
Sessions driven the other way round: importing now picks the track configuration that runs in the same direction as your data, or creates a reverse configuration with the same start line. See Create/Import Session Data.
Three plans and a free week: everything is unlocked for 7 days; afterwards the free plan keeps your 3 most recent sessions open, onTrackTools unlocks unlimited sessions, and onTrackTools PRO adds the dashboard, drivers and batch import. Nothing is ever deleted. See Subscriptions and Store.
Manage with AI* handles drivers: create drivers, edit their details and ask about them by name or nickname. See Garage Assistant.
Spotlight finds drivers and session types: sessions can be found by driver and by type, and drivers are indexed themselves. See Siri and Spotlight.
Built-in track library: tracks whose link to the library was broken by a library update are repaired automatically, and picking a library track you already have reuses yours instead of creating a duplicate.
Storage clean-up: on iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro, Settings gains a Storage section to find and remove obsolete private copies of imported files. See App Settings.
Gyroscope rates in degrees per second can be charted, and start-up and iCloud sync do less work.
Fixes: iCloud sync and launch crashes on iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro, a session-details bug that could show (and save) the previous session’s data after switching sessions, a frozen marker after panning a chart while video played, sector deltas staying black after switching to Dark Mode on Mac, and a vehicle year shown as “2,020”.

*The AI features require a device that supports Apple Intelligence running iOS/iPadOS 26, macOS 26, or visionOS 26 or later. Everything else works on every supported device.

Update all your devices together. Version 1.5.0 changes how data is stored. A device still on 1.4.x does not exchange every edit with updated devices (weather and setup ranges, for instance), and an old iPhone, iPad or Apple Vision Pro may fail to import records synced from an updated device until it is updated too.

Overview

onTrackTools is a multi-platform telemetry analysis app for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS. It imports telemetry sessions, detects laps from track start/finish lines, shows lap and sector timing, overlays telemetry traces, synchronizes video, and helps you manage tracks, configurations, vehicles, and setups.

The current app supports .vbo files and .ld log files. Imported sessions can be analyzed locally and synced across devices with iCloud when CloudKit is available.

Import .vbo or .ld telemetry sessions, optionally with video from Photos or Files.
Use the built-in track library or create custom tracks and configurations.
Let onTrackTools auto-detect the track during import when the data matches a known layout.
Create and reuse start/finish lines, open-course finish lines, and sector split markers.
Select compatible sessions from the same track and direction for comparison.
Select up to two laps and compare lap time, sector time, speed, acceleration, logged channels, Math Channels, map position, and synchronized video.
Manage vehicles, configurations, and setups in Garage, then link them to imported sessions.
Build named analysis dashboards of widgets that follow your selected laps, and compare a whole season of sessions on one track (PRO).
Manage drivers, attribute laps to them, and mark sessions as track days, races and more.
Import a whole folder of telemetry files at once with Batch Import (PRO).
Use iCloud sync for sessions, tracks, configurations, garage data, settings, Math Channels, and Photos-based video references when available.

Quick Start

Open onTrackTools and choose Add Session from the toolbar or File > Add Session on macOS app menu.
Select a .vbo or .ld file. On macOS, double-clicking a supported telemetry file or dropping it on the Dock icon opens the import sheet with the file preselected.
Wait for the track preview to load. If onTrackTools recognizes the session, it may automatically select a matching track from your database or the built-in track library.
Add optional session notes and confirm the session date. For time and date, leave Load from file enabled when the telemetry file contains a valid timestamp, or set it manually if so desired.
If the session has video, enable Session has video, then select video from Photos or Files. Set the video offset to the moment the car crosses the start line for the first timed lap.
Choose or confirm the track and track configuration. If you create a new track/configuration, adjust the start/finish marker in the preview map.
Optionally link the session to a Garage vehicle, vehicle configuration, and setup.
Click Import. The session appears in the Sessions list.
Select a session, then select one or two laps from the Laps Table.
Use the charts, map, video panel, logged channels, and Math Channels to compare braking, corner speed, acceleration, sector deltas, and car position.

Now, selecting a telemetry file is actually optional: you can also start before any telemetry exists: the same flow creates an empty session from the add Session sheet if a telemetry file is not selected.

This allows you to log the vehicle, setup, conditions, and notes at the track, then attach the data file and video later from the Session Details view.

See Session Details and Track-Day Planning.

Platform Navigation

macOS

On macOS, the main window uses a session sidebar and an analysis workspace. The Window menu includes Show Track Manager, Show Garage, Show Math Channels, Show Analysis Dashboard (⌥⌘A), Open Dashboard (a submenu listing your dashboards) and Show Batch Import. The app also provides separate windows for the Track Editor, Session Editor, Vehicle Configuration Editor, Vehicle Setup Editor, video playback, and Math Channels library.

File > Add session creates a new session, importing a .vbo or .ld file or starting an empty session.
File > Import Folder… (⇧⌘O) opens Batch Import to import a whole folder of telemetry files (PRO).
Window > Show Analysis Dashboard (⌥⌘A) and Window > Open Dashboard open an Analysis Dashboard window (PRO).
File > Migrate Videos to Photos Library… opens the video migration settings.
Edit > Session Details opens the selected session’s details view (metadata, notes, data files, video, vehicle and setup).
Edit > Edit track configuration opens the Track Editor for the selected session.
Window > Show Math Channels opens the Math Channels library.
View controls the video pane, entry/exit laps, map follow mode, map fitting, and time- vs distance-based comparison.
Help > On-line Help opens this online help page.

iPadOS

On iPad, the regular-width layout adds a segmented navigation control for Analysis, Garage, Tracks, Math Channels, and Settings where available. The Analysis section uses the session list and analysis workspace. Garage, Tracks, and Math Channels can be managed from their own sections. In the Analysis section, the Dashboard toolbar button shows the Analysis Dashboard full screen, and Laps brings the laps table back. The Garage section has Vehicles and Drivers lists.

iPhone

On iPhone, the workflow is intentionally step-by-step. Select a session from the Sessions list, tap View Laps or Compare Sessions, select one or two laps, then tap Analyze Lap or Compare Laps. In portrait orientation the analysis view shows map or video above the charts. In landscape orientation, the toolbar lets you switch between charts and video. In the portrait overflow menu, the View section switches between Charts and Dashboard; in landscape the mode menu offers Charts, Dashboard and Video. Math Channels are managed from the app navigation. Batch Import is not available on iPhone.

visionOS

On visionOS, session controls and analysis tools are presented as ornaments around the main window. Garage, Tracks Manager, Track Editor, Video, Math Channels, the Analysis Dashboard, Batch Import and the volumetric track map can open as separate spatial windows when available.

Main Window

The main window is where you select sessions, choose laps, and analyze selected data. With a session selected, the upper area shows lap and sector timing. The lower area is split between the map and chart panels. If video is available and enabled, the video panel appears above the lap table.

If no session is selected, the analysis workspace displays Select or import a session.

Sessions List

The Sessions list shows every session currently available in the app database. A session is usually created from one imported telemetry file, but it can also be created empty and receive its data later.

Each session row shows the track and date together with the number of laps, the best lap time and its average speed, the top speed, the distance driven, the track’s lap length, and the weather conditions when available. An ≈ sign before an average speed or lap length means the length was measured from GPS data rather than taken from the track library. Sessions with a type show it on the row. Use the search bar at the bottom of the list and the list filters, including Type and Driver, to find sessions quickly; search also matches driver names, nicknames and session types.

Select a session to load its laps into the Laps Table. You can select more than one session, but onTrackTools only keeps sessions that are compatible with the first selected session.

Compatible sessions must use the same track.
Compatible sessions must use the same track direction, clockwise or counter-clockwise, as defined by the track configuration.
When multiple sessions are selected, the analysis uses the track configuration from the first selected session.

When you switch between session sets during the same app run, onTrackTools restores the analysis state for each set. This includes selected laps, selected traces, sector zoom, scrubber position, chart viewport, map region, map type, and follow-car mode.

Session Controls

Add Session opens the Create/Import Session sheet. If your plan does not allow another session (the free plan keeps three open), this opens the Store instead.
Details flips the workspace between the analysis view and the Session Details view for the selected session. The analysis state is preserved underneath.
Edit conf. opens the Track Editor for the selected session’s current track configuration.
Delete moves the selected session or sessions to a soft-deleted state after confirmation.

On the free plan, the three most recent sessions stay open. Older sessions are still listed and still yours, but show a lock; on Mac the context menu offers See Plans and Delete Session on a locked session. The list footer shows an Unlock full version row. Locked sessions open again the moment you subscribe or purchase, and nothing is deleted. See Subscriptions and Store.

iCloud Status

When iCloud sync is active, onTrackTools syncs sessions, tracks, configurations, settings, garage data, and Math Channels through CloudKit. If CloudKit is unavailable, a status bar shows iCloud Unavailable – Using Local Store and the app continues with local storage. While incoming CloudKit updates are being imported, a Syncing with iCloud… indicator may appear.

Large telemetry data is stored in a compressed onTrackTools container to improve CloudKit reliability, especially for large .ld sessions. Keep all your devices updated to the current app version so they can read newly compressed sessions.

Laps Table

The Laps Table shows the laps detected from the selected session or compatible session set. Select one lap for single-lap analysis or up to two laps for comparison. Selecting the same lap again deselects it.

The table includes these columns:

Lap: the lap number within the session data.
Time: the detected lap time.
Delta: the time difference from the best lap currently shown.
VMax: the maximum speed during the lap, displayed in your selected speed unit.
Avg: the lap’s average speed, calculated from the track configuration’s lap length. An ≈ sign means the lap length was measured from the reference lap’s GPS path rather than taken from the track library.
S. 1, S. 2, …: sector time or sector delta columns. Sector headers use the same colors as the map and chart sector bands.
Driver chip: next to the lap number, a small chip with the driver’s initials shows who drove the lap. It appears only when a single session with several drivers is selected (see Drivers and Session Types).

The best lap is shown in bold. The fastest sector among the visible laps is highlighted in purple text. A sector that is faster than the corresponding sector of the best lap is shown in green text. Clicking or tapping a sector header zooms the map and charts to that sector; clicking or tapping the same sector again returns to the full lap.

Entry and Exit Laps

The entry lap and exit lap are usually partial laps. Use the Hide in/out control or the View menu to hide or show them. Hiding them reduces clutter when you are focused on timed laps.

Best and Ideal Lap Summary

The summary table below the Laps Table compares the best lap against an ideal lap. The ideal lap is calculated by summing the best sector times available in the currently selected session set. The summary shows total lap time, delta improvement, VMax, average speed, and sector-level improvement opportunities.

Charts Panel

The Charts Panel shows the selected telemetry traces for the selected lap or lap comparison. The default traces are Speed and Time Delta. The time delta trace is most useful when two laps are selected.

Time-Based and Distance-Based Comparison

The chart x-axis can be time-based or distance-based. Time-based comparison aligns traces by elapsed lap time. Distance-based comparison aligns traces by distance along the lap, which is usually better for comparing braking points, apex speed, and acceleration zones. Set the startup default in App Settings, or switch during analysis from the View menu or visionOS ornament.

Data Playhead

The vertical dashed playhead marks the current analysis position. The chart legend shows the values at the playhead. The map car marker and video playback position stay synchronized with the playhead.

Available Traces

The trace selector only shows traces available for the selected session set. If you select multiple sessions, a trace must be available in all selected sessions before it appears as selectable.

Standard Traces: built-in traces such as Speed, Time, Time Delta, Distance, Sector, Latitude, Longitude, Heading, Height, and acceleration channels.
Math Channels: calculated traces you create in the Math Channels library.
Logged Channels: additional channels imported from the source telemetry file. These are especially useful for .ld logs, where available channels depend on the logger or simulator export.

Some files may contain different channel names or may omit optional channels. If an expected trace is missing, confirm that the original file contains a supported channel and that the same channel is present in every selected session.

Trace Selection

Use the Traces control to open the trace selector. Enable or disable traces with the switches in the selector. Logged Channels include a search field so you can find a channel by name. On iPhone, the trace selector opens as a sheet with a Done button.

Math Channels

Math Channels let you define calculated telemetry traces and chart them alongside built-in and logged channels. A Math Channel is evaluated only when it is available for the selected session set and selected in the trace inspector.

Open Math Channels from Window > Show Math Channels on macOS, from the Math Channels navigation section on iOS/iPadOS, or from the Math Channels ornament/window on visionOS.

Creating a Math Channel

Open the Math Channels library.
Click or tap New Draft to start a new channel definition.
Enter a Name and Output label.
Enter a Unit label, or keep it unitless if the result is not a standard unit.
Write an expression using input variable names, numbers, operators, comparisons, and functions.
Add one or more inputs. Each input maps an expression variable to a signal: a built-in or logged channel, a vehicle configuration or setup value, or another Math Channel.
Use Signal Labels to browse the signals available in the selected sessions – grouped into telemetry channels, vehicle configuration and setup values, and Math Channels – and add them as inputs.
Use Expression Reference when you need the supported operators and functions.
Check Current Session Preview for resolution and evaluation diagnostics.
Click Create Math Channel or Save Changes.

Expressions

Expressions support arithmetic operators, comparisons, parentheses, and common functions. Comparisons return 1 when true and 0 when false, which makes them useful with if(condition, trueValue, falseValue).

Arithmetic: +, -, *, /, and ^.
Comparisons: >, >=, <, <=, ==, and !=.
Functions: abs, min, max, clamp, sqrt, pow, log, exp, trigonometric functions, rounding functions, if, smooth, derivative, and integral.
Statistics: lapMin, lapMax, lapAvg, lapStd, lapNorm, and lapZScore, plus the same statistics over the selected laps (selMin, selAvg, …) and the whole session (sessionMin, sessionAvg, …). See below.

Examples:

speed * 1.60934
sqrt(lat_g^2 + long_g^2)
if(speed > 1, derivative(speed), 0)
clamp(throttle, 0, 100)

Statistics

Statistics summarize a signal over a scope and return a single value usable anywhere in the expression. Each scope offers minimum, maximum, average, standard deviation, normalization (scales the signal to 0-1), and z-score:

This lap: lapMin, lapMax, lapAvg, lapStd, lapNorm, lapZScore – for example speed - lapMax(speed) or lapNorm(throttle).
The selected laps: selMin, selMax, selAvg, selStd, selNorm, selZScore.
The whole session: sessionMin, sessionMax, sessionAvg, sessionStd, sessionNorm, sessionZScore.

Each statistic takes one argument. The selection and session statistics must be given an input signal directly – sessionMax(v) works, sessionMax(v * 2) does not.

Comparing Laps

Every input has a Lap picker that chooses which lap the input reads: This lap (the default), the Fastest selected lap, or the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th fastest selected lap. Binding one input to another lap turns a channel into a lap comparison – for example speed - speed_ref, with speed_ref bound to the fastest selected lap, charts the speed difference at every point of the lap. The comparison is evaluated on a shared distance base, and “fastest, 2nd fastest, …” follow the same lap-time ordering the chart colors and the time delta already use.

Vehicle Data and Other Math Channels

Inputs are not limited to telemetry. When the session has a car assigned in the Garage, the numeric values of its configuration and setup (mass, power, tire pressures, camber, …) are available as inputs and are resolved per session from the assigned car – the same channel definition evaluates with each session’s own values. Units convert automatically, including the newly added force units (Newtons and pound-force).

A Math Channel can also use other Math Channels as inputs. onTrackTools evaluates them in dependency order and reports circular references in the editor. The chart’s time delta is available as a system Math Channel, so it can be used as an input like any other signal.

Inputs, Units, Aliases, and Overrides

Each input defines the expression variable name, the required channel label, an optional expected unit, and optional aliases. When a compatible unit conversion is known, onTrackTools converts the input before evaluating the expression.

If automatic input matching is not enough for a specific session, use the preview/override flow to map an input to a different available trace for that session. This is useful when different loggers use different channel names for the same signal.

Using Math Channels In Charts

After a Math Channel is enabled and can be resolved for the selected session set, it appears in the Math Channels section of the trace selector. Select it like any other trace. The input traces do not need to be selected separately.

Create with AI

On devices with Apple Intelligence, the Create with AI (sparkles) button in the Math Channels library opens an assistant that builds a channel from a plain-language description – it writes the formula, maps the variables to the signals available in the selected session, and shows a review of the mapping (with warnings for missing inputs) before anything is created. Existing channels can be refined iteratively or modified as a copy. The assistant understands the full feature set – statistics, lap comparisons, vehicle values, and unit phrasing like “power in hp” or “force in Newtons” – and unit conversions are applied exactly by the app. See AI Assistants.

Map Panel

The Map Panel shows the GPS trace of the selected lap or laps. It displays the start/finish marker, optional open-course finish marker, sector dividers, colored sector overlays, and synchronized car-position markers.

When two laps are selected, onTrackTools sorts the compared laps by lap time. The faster lap uses the green trace and marker; the slower lap uses the red trace and marker.

Map Controls

Fit map zooms the map to fit the full trace or active sector.
Pin Car follows the synchronized car marker as you scrub through the data.
Clicking or tapping a sector header, map sector, or chart sector band can zoom the analysis to that sector.

Video Panel

The Video Panel is hidden by default. When the session has an associated video file, use the video-panel button, the View menu, or the platform toolbar/ornament to show it. If the selected session has no video, the video control is disabled.

Playback and scrubbing are synchronized with the chart playhead and map car position. When two laps are selected, the faster lap is shown on the left and the slower lap is shown on the right.

Videos can be linked from Photos or from Files. Photos-based videos are the best option for cross-device use because iCloud Photos can make the asset available on other devices. File-based videos depend on the original file location and security-scoped bookmark remaining available.

If a Photos video is stored in iCloud Photos and is not yet local, onTrackTools shows a loading state and retries the request. If Photos access is limited, the app may ask you to grant access to the selected video or open Settings.

Analysis Dashboard (PRO)

The Analysis Dashboard lets you build your own analysis screens. A dashboard is a named, reusable layout of widgets that follows whichever laps you select in the main window. You can have as many dashboards as you like; they sync across your devices through iCloud. The dashboard is a PRO feature: on other plans it keeps its place in the menus, shows a lock and opens the Store (see Subscriptions and Store).

Opening the Dashboard

Mac: Window > Show Analysis Dashboard (⌥⌘A), or Window > Open Dashboard and pick a dashboard by name. Each dashboard opens in an Analysis Dashboard window, and several can be open at the same time, for example on different displays.
iPad: the Dashboard toolbar button shows the dashboard full screen in the analysis view; Laps brings the laps table back. With Stage Manager, Open in Window in the Dashboard Actions menu opens it in its own window.
iPhone: in portrait, the overflow menu’s View section offers Charts and Dashboard; the dashboard takes the place of the charts and the map. In landscape, the mode menu offers Charts, Dashboard and Video.
Apple Vision Pro: the Dashboard button in the analysis ornament opens it in its own window; several can be open at once.

Your first dashboard is called Dashboard 1 and starts with one Extra Large Line Chart of Speed.

Managing Dashboards

The layout menu in the toolbar is named after the current dashboard (Choose or manage dashboards). It lists your dashboards and offers:

Open in New Window (Mac and Apple Vision Pro), New Dashboard…, Rename…, Duplicate and Delete Dashboard….
Link Marker to Analysis and Link Chart Zoom (see below).
A Widgets section with Add Widget…, Edit Widgets / Done Editing and Arrange Widgets….

The dashboard window’s toolbar also has Add Widget, Edit / Done and Marker. On iPhone the same menu is the ellipsis button in the toolbar, and on iPad it is the Dashboard Actions menu; both offer the same items except Open in New Window, which exists only on Mac and Apple Vision Pro (on iPad, Open in Window appears in Dashboard Actions under Stage Manager).

Editing a Dashboard

Choose Add Widget and pick a kind. In edit mode (Edit), drag widgets to rearrange them. Each widget has a ⋯ menu with:

Configure…: the widget’s own options.
Rename… and Duplicate.
Size: Small (1×1), Medium (2×1), Large (2×2) or Extra Large (4×2).
Move: Move Earlier / Move Later in the order.
Remove.

The Marker and Chart Zoom

The dashboard has a marker (cursor) that is, by default, linked to the analysis view, the map and the video: moving it on a dashboard moves the car on the map and the video, and the other way round. The Marker button (shown in the accent colour when linked) or Link Marker to Analysis unlinks it. Link Chart Zoom makes zooming one chart zoom the others.

Mac: hover to scrub.
iPhone and iPad: one finger scrubs, two fingers pan, pinch zooms, and a tap jumps the marker.
Apple Vision Pro: hold, then drag.

The Widgets

Seven widgets are available, each in the four sizes above.

Line Chart: telemetry traces over time or distance, with left and right axes, reference lines, a fixed axis range, values at the cursor and sector markers.
XY Scatter: one channel against another (a G-G diagram, trail braking, slip), optionally coloured by a third channel, with a trend line and a friction circle.
Track Map: racing-line comparison or a channel-coloured map, on standard, hybrid or satellite maps, with car markers and sector bands.
Histogram: the time, distance or samples spent in each value range, per lap or as a percentage of the lap.
Statistics: lap, sector and session figures as bars, trends or box plots. See below.
Heatmap: occupancy, or a third channel averaged, over the value ranges of two channels.
Frequency: the frequency content of a channel, for suspension and vibration analysis.

Statistics and Season-Wide Comparison

The Statistics widget compares laps, sectors or whole sessions. Its options:

Compare: Lap, Sector or Session.
Measure: Time or a Channel; for a channel, choose an Aggregation (Minimum, Maximum, Mean, Median, Sum, Std. Deviation or Count).
Style: Bars, Trend or Box Plot.
Outliers: leave out unrepresentative values with Off, IQR (Tukey), Percentile, Std. Deviations or Absolute Range; Group laps: Automatic, By session, Every N laps, By lap number, Lap number blocks or All together; Include in/out laps (off by default); Delta to reference: show differences to a reference lap. In Box Plot style, Box over chooses between all samples and a per-lap aggregate.
Scope: Selected Laps, Selected Sessions, or All Compatible Sessions — every session on the same track and in the same direction, which you can filter by date, Car, Configuration, Setup, Track layout and Driver. This is how you compare a whole season.

Lap times for a whole season come from each session’s saved summary, so nothing has to load. Sector and channel figures read telemetry in the background: up to 8 sessions are read automatically; above that a Read N sessions button lets you choose when to do it. As everywhere in the app, multi-session sector times use the track configuration of the first selected session.

Create/Import Session Data

The Create/Import Session Data sheet creates a new session from a telemetry file. The sheet can be opened from Add Session, File > Add Session on macOS, or by opening a supported telemetry file directly on macOS.

Since version 1.4.0, it is also possible to create “empty” sessions without attaching any telemetry file. This gives the user the opportunity to create a session trackside, adding notes and car configuration and setup before having a telemetry file available.

Supported Data Files

VBO: .vbo telemetry files remain supported.
LD: .ld log files can be imported. Logged channels in the file become dynamic chart traces.

For .ld files that do not contain GPS coordinates, onTrackTools may reconstruct and align the session path against a detected track using available simulator/world-position data. If no complete lap can be found, it may estimate GPS coordinates from the full session and warn that accuracy may be reduced.

Data File and Session Metadata

Data File: select the telemetry file. After a valid file is selected, the GPS/track preview appears.
Description: add notes or a short label for the session.
Date: keep Load from file enabled to use the timestamp from the file, or disable it and set the date manually.

Automatic Track Detection

After a file is loaded, onTrackTools attempts to match the session to existing tracks and to the built-in track library. A successful match selects the detected track automatically and displays an Auto-detected message. You can also use Detect manually after changing the data file or track selection.

If a built-in track is detected, onTrackTools materializes it in your local database so the imported session can use it like any other track.

Video

Session has video: enable this when you want synchronized video.
Photos: choose a video from the Photos Library.
Files: choose a video file from local or cloud file storage.
Offset: set the timestamp where the car crosses the start line for the first timed lap. Use the preview playback controls to find the crossing.

Vehicle and Setup

If you use Garage, you can link the imported session to a vehicle, vehicle configuration, and setup. onTrackTools creates session-scoped copies of linked configurations and setups so the historical session remains stable even if the base Garage records are changed later.

Track and Configuration

Track: choose an existing track, use an auto-detected track, select a built-in library track, or create a new one.
Track Name: required when creating a new track.
Track Config: choose an existing configuration or create a new one.
Config Name: required when creating a new configuration.
Direction: choose clockwise or counter-clockwise when creating a new configuration.
Open Course: enable when the data is point-to-point instead of a closed circuit. Open-course configurations use separate start and finish markers.

When creating a new track or configuration, drag the start/finish marker in the preview map so it crosses the driven GPS path. Accurate marker placement is essential for accurate lap timing.

Driving Direction

Tracks can be driven either way round. When you import a session on a known track, onTrackTools compares the direction of your data with the track’s configurations and selects the configuration that runs the same way in the Track Config picker; a note under the picker explains the choice, and you can still pick another configuration yourself. If no configuration runs the way you drove, importing creates a reverse configuration with the same start line, running the other way. Before 1.5.0, a session driven the other way round could be mapped backwards, with distorted distances, and a reversed lap could replace a configuration’s reference lap; both are fixed. Batch Import follows the same rule, and offers the choice explicitly (see Batch Import).

To import many files at once, see Batch Import.

Import Validation

The Import button is enabled only when the required file, track, configuration, and video selections are valid. If the button is disabled, check for missing names, missing file selections, or an enabled video option without a selected video.

Batch Import (PRO)

Batch Import brings a whole folder of telemetry files into onTrackTools in one go. It reads .vbo and .ld files, including those in sub-folders. It is a PRO feature, available on Mac, iPad and Apple Vision Pro (not on iPhone).

Starting a Batch Import

Mac: File > Import Folder… (⇧⌘O), or drop a folder on the app. The Batch Import window can be shown again with Window > Show Batch Import.
iPad: the Import folder toolbar button opens the Import Folder sheet.
Apple Vision Pro: the Import folder button in the session toolbar ornament opens Batch Import in its own window.

Reviewing the Files

Each file’s track, configuration, date, drivers, vehicle and session type are worked out from its header and from its file and folder names, and can be edited before importing, for one file or for many selected files at once. The inspector has sections for Track, Configuration, Date, Drivers, Vehicle, Session type and Description.

Naming Pattern: tell the importer how your files and folders are named using the placeholders #track#, #vehicle#, #driver#, #dateNum#, #timeNum# and #exportPath#.
Imported before: files you have imported earlier are recognised and left unchecked.
Configuration: choose Automatic (match the driving direction) or New reverse configuration, as in the single-file import (see Create/Import Session Data).
Reset to automatic match: discard your edits for a file and return to what was detected.

Verifying

Verify (or Verify Selected) checks every file in parallel. Compare track and data draws the track layout under the session’s GPS path and suggests a better-fitting track when there is one.

Importing and Failures

Select All Ready checks every file that is ready, and Import N Sessions imports the checked files. If some files fail, they are listed with their reason: Show Details shows the full message and Copy Details copies it; Select Failed Files selects them again for another try.

Session Details and Track-Day Planning

The Session Details view collects everything about a session in one place. With a session selected, use the Details toolbar button to flip the workspace between the analysis view and Session Details; flip back at any time — the analysis state is preserved.

Edit the session description and date.
Capture, review, and edit the session’s structured notes — see Session Notes.
Add, replace, or manage the session’s data files — including attaching telemetry to a session created empty.
Manage videos: add, replace, or remove synchronized video, with the ability to revert changes before saving.
Preview and change the track and track configuration assigned to the session.
Assign or change the Garage vehicle, configuration, and setup, and open their editors directly.
Review the session’s weather conditions.
Choose the session Type (Track Day, Race, Qualifying and more).
Add the session’s Drivers and attribute laps to them (PRO) — see Drivers and Session Types.

Session Notes

The Notes area of Session Details collects everything you record about a session: impressions dictated through the notes assistant, notes captured hands-free with Siri, and notes typed manually with the + button. Each note appears in the list with its one-line gist and badges showing how it was captured (typed, voice, or Siri), its category, the corner it refers to, and its severity. Select a note to review or refine it, or delete it from the list.

Notes are structured: every note keeps your original words verbatim, and layers optional details on top. When a note is captured through the assistant or Siri, these details are filled in automatically on-device from what you said; anything that does not fit the structure survives in the note text, so a classification can never lose information. You can always adjust the details by hand in the note editor:

Category: Handling, Setup Change, Incident, Tyres, Brakes, Powertrain, Conditions, Driver, Logistics, or Other.
Corner / section: a free-text place reference, such as “the fast right after the back straight”.
Phase: Braking, Entry, Mid-Corner, Exit, or Straight.
Handling: Understeer, Oversteer, Instability, Snap, Grip, or Balance.
Severity: Minor, Moderate, or Major.
Suggested action and tags: what to try next, plus free-form keywords for anything else.

Empty Sessions – Plan Before You Drive

A session can be created without any telemetry data — useful for preparing a track day in advance or logging information while you are still at the track. Create an empty session from the import sheet, fill in the vehicle, configuration, setup, conditions, and notes, then attach the telemetry file and video later from Session Details. Once data is attached, the session behaves like any imported session.

Automatic Weather

onTrackTools retrieves the weather conditions for every session automatically from Apple Weather, based on the session’s location and date. Conditions appear in the session list rows and in Session Details. Existing sessions without weather information are backfilled automatically; a manual backfill control is also available in Settings. Weather data is provided by Apple Weather (attribution is shown in the app’s About view). Note that automatic weather cannot populate all the available fields, e.g. there is no recorded data for track temperature: these fields can’t be automated.

Editing Sessions

The Session details view also lets you update an existing session without re-importing it. Open it from the selected session’s Details button or the Edit->Session Details menu entry on macOS.

Edit the session description and date.
Add, remove, or replace synchronized video.
Change the video source between Photos and Files.
Adjust the video offset.
Link or change the Garage vehicle, configuration, and setup for the session.
Change the track and track configuration assigned to the session.

Changing the track configuration can change lap detection and sector timing. Review the Laps Table after saving session edits.

Track Configuration Editor

The Track Configuration Editor is used to refine timing markers and sectors for a track configuration. It opens from Edit conf., Edit > Edit track configuration on macOS, the Tracks Manager, or the import flow when creating a new configuration.

From left to right:

Reset config: return the editable markers to the saved configuration.
Apply config: save the edited marker positions and recalculate session analysis.
Add sector: add a sector divider at the current marker position.
Remove sector: remove the selected sector divider.
Auto sectors: open automatic sector detection.
Fit Map: adjust the zoom so that the track map fits the window

Drag start/finish and sector markers on the map to refine timing. Apply the configuration after you finish editing. onTrackTools recalculates lap and sector data for the selected session after the configuration is applied.

Add Configuration preselects the direction your data was actually driven, and flipping the direction follows the same rule as import: a reversed lap no longer replaces the configuration’s reference lap.

Closed Courses and Open Courses

A closed-course configuration uses one start/finish separator. This is the normal mode for circuit laps. An open-course configuration uses separate start and finish separators and is intended for point-to-point data. Open-course configurations require at least two separators.

Automatic Sector Detection

Automatic Sector Detection helps you create sector dividers from a selected complete lap. The result is temporary until you use Apply config, so you can detect, review, drag markers manually, reset, or try a different algorithm before saving.

Open the Track Configuration Editor, then use Auto sectors. The panel appears as an inspector on macOS/iPadOS, a background-interactive sheet on iPhone, and a trailing ornament on visionOS.

Algorithms

Corners: detects corners from lateral acceleration and places boundaries in the middle of the straights so each sector contains a corner complex.
Braking zones: detects sustained braking and places boundaries just before each braking point so each sector starts with corner entry.
Speed peaks: places boundaries at speed peaks reached at the end of each straight.
Equal distance: splits the lap into sectors of equal length.

Parameters

Sensitivity: higher sensitivity detects weaker features and generally produces more candidate sectors.
Limit sector count: keeps only the most significant boundaries up to the selected sector count.
Sectors: sets the target count for equal-distance sectors, or the limit when sector count limiting is enabled.
Advanced settings: tune corner merge distance, speed peak offset, or braking boundary offset depending on the selected algorithm.
Source lap: choose the complete lap whose telemetry will be used to place sectors.

If required data is missing, onTrackTools shows an availability note and uses fallback signals where possible. Automatic sector detection needs position and speed data, and some methods work best with lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration, or heading.

After detection, inspect the placed separators on the map. Drag any separator to refine it, then use Apply config to save or Reset config to discard.

Tracks Manager

Tracks Manager shows both user-created tracks and the built-in track library. You can browse tracks before importing telemetry, materialize a built-in track by selecting it, and manage configurations for tracks already in your database.

Use Filters to show or hide user-defined tracks, the built-in library, or tracks without sessions.
Use the search field to filter tracks by name.
Use the quick-jump side bar when the track list has many alphabetical sections.
Select a built-in track to materialize it locally and view its configurations.
Rename a user-defined track by double-clicking its name on macOS or using the context menu.
Delete a track only when no sessions are linked to it.
Select a track to see its configurations, direction, sector count, session usage, and last update date.
Rename a configuration by double-clicking its name on macOS or using the context menu.
Edit a configuration with the slider/control button.
Delete a configuration only when no sessions are using it.
Add a configuration with the Add row at the bottom of the selected track’s detail view.

If a track is missing its reference lap or has a corrupted configuration, Tracks Manager shows a repair banner. Use the repair action to rebuild or reset what can be recovered.

Links between your tracks and the built-in library are maintained for you: a track whose link was broken by a library update no longer disappears from the Tracks list or the import picker, broken links are repaired automatically once per library update, and picking a library track you already have reuses yours instead of creating a duplicate.

Garage

Garage manages vehicles, vehicle configurations, setups and drivers. It helps you keep a record of the car and setup used for each session, then link those records to imported telemetry. A segmented control at the top switches between Vehicles and Drivers, and the + button offers New vehicle and New driver. See Drivers and Session Types.

Vehicles

A vehicle stores a name, make, model, color, year, vehicle type, description, and optional photo. Add a vehicle with New vehicle. The new vehicle starts with a base configuration and default configuration elements for its vehicle type.

Add or change a vehicle photo from Photos or Files.
Set the current active configuration with Set Active.
Delete a vehicle only when none of its configurations or setups are linked to sessions.

Vehicle Configurations

A vehicle configuration describes the physical or build-level state of the vehicle, such as components, tires, brakes, suspension hardware, or other configurable metadata. The exact element list depends on the vehicle type and the Garage metadata bundled with the app.

Add Configuration creates a new configuration.
Clone Selected creates a copy of the selected configuration, optionally carrying over the selected setup.
Set Active marks the selected configuration as the vehicle’s current configuration.
Remove Selected deletes the selected configuration and all of its setups after a confirmation. A configuration used by one or more sessions cannot be deleted; a warning explains why.
Show disabled displays disabled configuration elements.
Add Element adds an allowed configuration element when dependencies and multiplicity rules permit it.

Configuration elements may have units, numeric limits, steps, enum choices, and dependency rules. Disabled elements can be hidden or shown from the Garage toolbar.

Setups

A setup is tied to a vehicle configuration and describes adjustable values used for an event or session, such as setup ranges, values, or per-corner/per-axle entries. Setup elements are created from the Garage metadata and can be associated with enabled configuration elements. Elements with per-corner or per-axle dimensions always show their instance (front left, front right, rear, …) on the row, so identical names are never ambiguous.

Add Setup creates a setup for the selected configuration.
Clone Selected copies the current setup.
Remove Selected deletes the selected setup and its elements after a confirmation. A setup used by one or more sessions cannot be deleted.
Add Element adds an allowed setup element.
Some setup elements appear or disappear depending on the enabled configuration elements.

Session-Linked Configurations and Setups

When you link a session to a Garage configuration or setup during import or session editing, onTrackTools creates a session-scoped copy. This protects the historical session from later changes to your base Garage configuration. Use Show session-linked in Garage to reveal or hide these session-specific copies in the Garage list. Session-linked items are marked in the list with a link badge and a context line identifying the session they belong to.

Manage with AI

On devices with Apple Intelligence, the Manage with AI (sparkles) button opens the Garage assistant: create and edit vehicles, configurations, setups, and drivers conversationally, or ask about current and past values. The button is available in the Garage and in every configuration/setup editor, including editors opened from a session. See AI Assistants.

Drivers and Session Types

Session Types (all plans)

Every session can be given a Type — for example Track Day, HPDE, Coaching, Test, Shakedown, Free Practice, Qualifying, Race, Endurance Race, Time Attack, Autocross, Hillclimb, Rallycross or Drift — or left Unspecified. Choose Other to enter your own Custom type. Set it in Session Details; the type shows on the session row, the session list can be filtered by Type, and search matches session types.

Drivers (PRO)

Drivers are a PRO feature. In the Garage, switch the segmented control from Vehicles to Drivers, or use + and choose New driver. A driver has a Photo, Name, Nickname, Licence / Grade, Home Track, Date of Birth, height and weight (shown in your units) and Notes. Show sessions / Hide sessions in a driver’s page lists the sessions they took part in.

Assigning Drivers to a Session

In Session Details, the Drivers section lists the drivers of the session; use Add Driver to add one or several. When a session has two or more drivers, Assign Drivers to Laps… opens Drivers by Lap where you attribute laps to drivers.

Consecutive laps by the same driver form one stint.
The pit time between two stints belongs to the driver who came in.
With several drivers, the Laps Table shows a chip with the driver’s initials next to each lap number (for a single selected session).
The session list can be filtered by Driver, and search matches driver names and nicknames.

Drivers can also be managed conversationally with Manage with AI (see Garage Assistant) and are found by Spotlight (see Siri and Spotlight).

AI Assistants

onTrackTools includes three AI assistants powered by Apple Intelligence. All processing happens on-device: nothing you say or type is sent to a server. The assistants require a device that supports Apple Intelligence running iOS/iPadOS 26, macOS 26, or visionOS 26 or later; on other devices the assistant buttons show an explanation and the equivalent manual flows remain available.

Session Notes Assistant

Open the assistant from the sparkles button in the session toolbar. Dictate or type your impressions right out of the car — “understeer in turn 3, brakes went long at the end of the stint” — and the assistant turns them into structured notes attached to the selected session, filling in the category, corner, phase, handling, and severity fields automatically while keeping your original words (see Session Notes). It can also answer questions over your own logbook, such as “what pressures did I run here last time?”, retrieving the answer from your sessions, notes, and Garage data.

Garage Assistant (Manage with AI)

The Garage assistant edits and queries your Garage in natural language: “add a wet setup with 26 psi fronts”, “set the front tire pressures to 28.5”, “what can I add?”, “what’s the current camber?”. Values can be set per corner or per axle (“38 for the front and 42 for the rear”). The assistant echoes every change back for confirmation before applying anything, and edits to session-linked configurations or setups go through an extra gate: Cancel, Edit a copy instead, or Change anyway. It also handles drivers: create a driver, edit their details (name, nickname, licence or grade, home track, date of birth, height, weight, notes), rename them, and ask about them by name or nickname. Driver heights and weights follow your unit preferences.

Math Channels Assistant (Create with AI)

Describe the calculated channel you want — “combined G force from lateral and longitudinal acceleration” — and the assistant writes the formula, maps each variable to a signal available in the selected session, and shows a review card of the variable-to-signal mapping with warnings before creating the channel. You can iterate on the result conversationally, and modify an existing channel by creating a refined copy.

Voice Mode (Hands-Free)

Every assistant supports a hands-free voice conversation: tap the voice-mode (waveform) button in the assistant’s input bar, speak, and the assistant replies out loud, then listens again. Speech recognition runs on-device and is biased with the app’s live motorsport vocabulary — element names, your vehicles and setups, and common track terms — so dictation of technical phrases is reliable. Say “exit voice mode” or “stop listening” to end the loop; the assistant also leaves voice mode after prolonged silence. A setting lets assistants start directly in voice mode (see App Settings).

Siri and Spotlight

Sessions, session notes, vehicles, configurations, setups, and drivers are indexed for system search, and sessions can also be found by their driver and by their session type, so they can be found from Spotlight, including semantic search on devices with Apple Intelligence. Spotlight indexing and search work on macOS 15, iOS/iPadOS 18, and visionOS 2 or later, and opening a result takes you straight to the matched item – the session, note, car, configuration, or setup itself. App Intents let you act without opening the app:

Open session: jump straight to a session from Siri or Spotlight.
Show setup: display a Garage setup.
Create session: create a new (empty) session by voice.
Capture note and Find notes: record and retrieve session notes.
Change setup value: set a value in one of your setups by voice (e.g. a tyre pressure). The change is read back and applied only after you confirm.

App Settings

Settings are available from onTrackTools > Settings on macOS, the Settings section on iPad, and the Settings sheet on visionOS. On iOS and visionOS, settings also include Subscription Management, a Storage section and a link to the online help.

Weather

Weather is retrieved automatically for every session. The general settings include a backfill control that fetches missing weather conditions for all existing sessions at once.

General Preferences

X-Axis base type: choose Time or Distance as the startup chart comparison mode.
Show in-out laps: choose whether entry and exit laps are visible at startup.
Follow car position: choose whether the map follows the synchronized car marker at startup. During an app run, onTrackTools restores follow-car state per selected session set.

Units Preferences

Distance: meters, kilometers, yards, feet, or miles.
Speed: kilometers/hour, miles/hour, meters/second, feet/second, or yards/second.
Acceleration: Gs, meters/second squared, feet/second squared, or yards/second squared.
Temperature: Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin.
Altitude: meters or feet.

User Interface Preferences

Show toolbar labels: show or hide text labels next to toolbar icons where supported. On macOS this uses the system’s native icon-and-label toolbar style.
Show laps table while video is active: keep the lap table visible below video when the video pane is open.
Use Volumetric Map on visionOS: enables the separate volumetric track map window.
Voice mode: start the AI assistants directly in hands-free voice mode.

Storage (iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro)

These files were copied when their sessions were imported. Copies that are no longer needed can pile up. In the Storage section of Settings (below Video Library), use Check imported file copies to find them, then Remove N obsolete copies… to free the space. The sessions keep their telemetry; only the private copies are removed. A copy is kept for now if its session’s telemetry has not been stored yet.

Subscription Management (iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro)

Shows the plan you are on, including the free week and when it ends, and opens the Store. On Mac the Store is opened from the app menu item Subscriptions Store. See Subscriptions and Store.

Video Library

Enable Always save imported videos to Photos when you want file-selected videos to be copied into the Photos Library during import. Use Migrate to Photos to convert sessions that still use local file references. Migrating to Photos improves cross-device video resolution through iCloud Photos.

Subscriptions and Store

onTrackTools has three plans. Each paid plan is available as a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.

Free: the three most recent sessions stay open, with lap analysis, charts, the track map, Math Channels, the Garage, tracks, setups, video, the AI assistants, Siri and Spotlight.
onTrackTools: everything in the free plan with unlimited sessions.
onTrackTools PRO: everything above plus the Analysis Dashboard with its widget library, drivers with lap-by-lap attribution, and folder Batch Import.

The Store shows a comparison table of these plans, the plan you are on (including the free week and when it ends), and offers only the plans you do not already have.

The Free Week

From the first launch of 1.5, every feature is available for 7 days — dashboards, drivers, Batch Import and unlimited sessions — with no purchase and nothing to sign up for. A status-bar countdown (Full access trial — N days left) shows how long remains. The week follows your Apple Account, so installing on a second device does not restart it. When it ends, a one-time Your free week is over sheet explains what changes.

When You Are On a Smaller Plan

On the free plan the three most recent sessions stay open. Older sessions remain listed and remain yours: they show a lock, can be deleted to free a slot (Delete Session in the context menu on Mac), and open again the moment you subscribe or purchase. The list footer shows Unlock full version; See Plans opens the Store.
Nothing is ever deleted. Sessions, dashboards, drivers, notes and lap attribution stay in your library and keep syncing.
Locked features stay visible. A PRO feature you do not have keeps its place in the menus and toolbars, shows a lock, and opens the Store to explain what unlocks it.
On the free plan a new session cannot be added while three are open; nothing is pushed out to make room.

Upgrading and Restoring

If you already bought onTrackTools outright, there is a discounted upgrade to the PRO lifetime purchase — you are not asked to buy what you already own.
Restore Purchases: use this if your plan is not recognized after reinstalling, changing devices, or signing in again. It also picks up refunds and revocations. Family Sharing uses the family member who holds the purchase.

On iOS and visionOS, the Store view includes links to the Apple standard license agreement and the LVSoftware.io privacy policy. If App Store products cannot be loaded, the Store shows a retry-later message.

visionOS Features

Analysis Ornaments

On visionOS, the session list and analysis controls are displayed as spatial ornaments. The analysis ornament includes controls for video, entry/exit laps, time/distance comparison, traces, Math Channels, and either the volumetric map or regular map controls depending on settings.

Analysis Dashboard and Batch Import Windows

The Dashboard button in the analysis ornament opens the Analysis Dashboard in its own window; several dashboards can be open at once. Batch Import (PRO) also opens in its own window. On the dashboard, hold and then drag to move the marker.

Volumetric Track Map

If Use Volumetric Map is enabled in Settings, the analysis ornament can open the Track map volume. The volumetric map shows the same synchronized trace/map data in a circular spatial presentation. Its ornament includes Fit map to volume and Follow car position.

Troubleshooting

The Import button is disabled

Confirm that a supported telemetry file is selected: .vbo or .ld.
If creating a new track, enter a track name.
If creating a new configuration, enter a configuration name.
If Session has video is enabled, choose a valid video from Photos or Files.

No laps were detected

Verify that the selected track configuration matches the session.
Check that the start/finish marker crosses the driven GPS path.
For open-course sessions, verify both start and finish markers.
Open the Track Editor, adjust the markers, apply the configuration, and try again.
For .ld imports, confirm that the file contains enough usable samples and that track alignment succeeded.

Automatic track detection did not choose a track

Track detection requires enough valid movement samples and a candidate track that matches the imported path. Choose a track manually, then adjust the configuration if needed. For .ld files without GPS data, check that the file metadata or driven shape can be aligned to a known track.

A session cannot be selected with another session

onTrackTools filters multi-session selection to compatible sessions only. The sessions must use the same track and same direction. If a session is removed from the selection, check its assigned track and track configuration in Session Details.

Expected chart traces are missing

The trace selector only shows supported channels present in the selected session set. If multiple sessions are selected, each trace must be present in all selected sessions. Logged channel names may vary by logger or simulator export.

A Math Channel does not appear in the trace selector

Confirm that the Math Channel is enabled.
Open the Math Channels library and check the validation status.
Make sure every input can be matched for the selected session or session set.
Use aliases or a per-session override when the source file uses a different channel name.
If multiple sessions are selected, the Math Channel must resolve for all selected sessions.

A Math Channel evaluates but looks wrong

Check input units and expected units.
Check whether the input is a built-in trace or a logged channel with a different scale.
Use Current Session Preview for diagnostics about missing inputs or invalid samples.
Use Expression Reference to confirm function names and argument counts.

Automatic sectors did not find boundaries

Choose a complete source lap with enough samples.
Try a higher sensitivity.
Try a different algorithm. Equal distance is the most predictable fallback.
Some algorithms work best when lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration, or heading are available.
After sectors are placed, remember to use Apply config to save them.

Video is not available or does not load

Open Session Details and confirm that Session has video is enabled.
If the video is from Photos, confirm that onTrackTools has Photos access.
If Photos access is limited, include the required video in the app’s allowed selection or grant full Photos access.
If the video is stored in iCloud Photos, wait for it to sync or use the Retry button.
On visionOS, if a Photos asset has not synced to the device, re-link the video from iOS or macOS after the video is available in Photos.
If the video was linked from Files and the file moved or the bookmark expired, reselect the file in Session Details.

Subscription is not recognized

Open the onTrackTools Store and use Restore Purchases. The app verifies entitlements at launch and may briefly show Verifying purchases… while StoreKit checks current transactions.

iCloud is unavailable

If CloudKit cannot be opened, onTrackTools shows iCloud Unavailable – Using Local Store and continues locally. Check that you are signed into iCloud, that iCloud Drive/CloudKit services are available, and that network access is working. Data created while using local storage may not appear on other devices until iCloud is available again.

A large session does not appear on another device

Large telemetry sessions use compressed storage in the current app. Make sure all devices are updated to the current App Store version. Then leave the source device open long enough for CloudKit to upload and the receiving device open long enough to import the update.

A track configuration cannot be deleted

A configuration cannot be deleted while sessions use it. Reassign or delete those sessions first. The Track Editor delete flow replaces affected sessions with a default configuration when possible, but the Tracks Manager delete button is disabled for configurations currently in use.

A vehicle cannot be deleted

A vehicle cannot be deleted while its configurations or setups are linked to sessions. Remove or edit the session links first.

A feature or a session shows a lock

A lock means the feature or session is not part of your current plan. Nothing has been deleted: tap or click the locked item, or choose See Plans, to open the Store. During the first week after installing 1.5 everything is unlocked. On the free plan the three most recent sessions stay open; delete a session you no longer need, or subscribe, to open the others. See Subscriptions and Store.

Data from another device is missing or looks incomplete

Version 1.5.0 changes how data is stored, so update every device to 1.5.0 before judging sync. After updating, leave each device open for a while so iCloud can finish importing; some records re-sync once.

Batch Import cannot be found

Batch Import is a PRO feature available on Mac, iPad and Apple Vision Pro; it is not available on iPhone. On Mac use File > Import Folder…. See Batch Import.

For additional support, use the contact page at lvsoftware.io/contact-us/.
