How to Keep Your Speed in the Dynamic Island and Widgets

TL;DR

SpeedTrace keeps your live speed in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen while recording, and offers a Home Screen widget — so a glance shows your speed without opening the app.

Steps

Start a session in SpeedTrace.
Your live speed appears in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen.
Add the Home Screen widget for a quick glance.
Check your speed without opening the app.

Why it works this way

When you’re moving, opening an app to check your speed is exactly the wrong thing to do. Live Activity and the Dynamic Island keep the number in the system UI during a session, and the Home Screen widget offers a glance the rest of the time — so your speed is where a quick look can find it, not buried behind a launch.
