Widgets, CarPlay & Android Auto
Axlerun reaches beyond the app — home-screen widgets, CarPlay and Android Auto, and a live trip card on your lock screen.
Axlerun isn't only the app you open — it shows up where it's useful: on your home screen, in the car, and on your lock screen while a trip records. These are native phone features, so they need a real device (not a simulator).
What's available
Home-screen widgets — key numbers and shortcuts at a glance, without opening the app.
CarPlay and Android Auto — a pared-back Axlerun on the car's head unit for while you're driving.
A live trip card — on iPhone, a Live Activity and Dynamic Island; on Android, a lock-screen Live Update — showing a trip while it records.
Not all three sit on the same plan. Home-screen widgets and the in-car fuel & EV locator need Cruise; the live trip card is free on every plan, including Drive, because it belongs to trip recording rather than to the paid extras.
The live trip card is opt-in. Turn on Show live trip on lock screen in the Trip Logging settings. Widgets are added the usual way your phone adds any widget, and CarPlay / Android Auto appear once your phone is connected to the car.
