ZeroTo: 0-60 & Drag Timer
ZeroTo is a performance measurement app for iPhone that uses sensor fusion to track 0-60 mph, drag times, and gear shifts.
The App DNA
What makes this app unique?
The app removes the need for expensive, dedicated GPS hardware by using the iPhone's internal sensors to fill gaps in GPS data, providing professional-grade timing accuracy.
For Car enthusiasts and drag racers who want to measure vehicle performance without purchasing dedicated GPS hardware.
What does it look like?
Key features
Combines 100Hz motion sensor data with GPS to detect launch and fill gaps between GPS updates.
Assigns an accuracy rating to every run based on GPS signal and phone stability.
Unlocks rolling 60-130 mph, 1/2 mile, and rollout timing metrics.
How much does it cost?
Monetization relies on a one-time purchase model rather than subscriptions, gating advanced metrics and data export behind the Pro tier.
Velocity
Maintenance developmentUX improvementsnew contentplatform expansionShow more...
The app maintains a maintenance cadence, with only one release identified in the recent window. Development is focused on UX improvements and feature expansion, specifically adding a new visual interface, rolling speed timing, and support for Apple Watch and Dynamic Island. The latest release demonstrates a commitment to refining the core timing experience rather than frequent iterative updates. This stable, feature-focused approach suggests a mature product lifecycle.

Key takeaways for ZeroTo: 0-60 & Drag Timer
Where is it heading?
Performance timing apps are shifting toward high-fidelity sensor integration to compete with dedicated hardware. ZeroTo is well-positioned with its sensor-fusion approach, but it must solve the trust gap created by its lack of user reviews to scale beyond early adopters.
- The latest release added rolling speed timing and Live Activity support, indicating active feature investment rather than maintenance mode.
- The one-time purchase model provides a clear value proposition, but the lack of public ratings creates a barrier to initial trust.
The SWOT
- Sensor-fusion mechanism replaces hardware requirements
- Accuracy lamp builds user trust in data
- Apple Watch integration reduces run-initiation friction
- Localized marketing in high-interest racing regions
- Expansion into track-day telemetry for circuit enthusiasts
