SENSOR RECORDING

Your smartphone.
6 sensors.
100 readings per second.

MotionRecord turns your smartphone into a high-frequency telemetry system. Accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer, GPS — recorded at up to 100 Hz. No accessories, no subscription, no account.

GPS alone tells only half the story

Your navigation app records WHERE you rode. Once per second. A position on the map.

But what happens between those seconds? The 2 G under braking before the hairpin. The 35° lean angle at the apex. The moment you roll on the throttle at corner exit.

All of that is in your smartphone — in sensors that no navigation app uses.

MotionRecord changes that.

6 sensors. One dataset. Your ride.

GPS tells you WHERE you were. MotionRecord tells you HOW you rode there.

Two apps. One pipeline. The perfect result.

MotionRecord records. Kurvenfokus analyzes. Unbeatable together.

MotionRecord

Record. Put your phone in the mount, hit Record, and ride.

Kurvenfokus

Import. Drag the ZIP export from MotionRecord straight into Kurvenfokus.

Corner analysis

Real measurements. Instead of GPS estimates: gyroscope lean angle to ±1°.

MotionRecord

RECORD

Turns your smartphone into a telemetry system. Every sensor, maximum frequency, minimum effort.

  • 100 Hz sensor recording
  • 6 sensors at once
  • Background operation
  • ZIP export for Kurvenfokus

Kurvenfokus

UNDERSTAND

Analyzes your corners. With MotionRecord data: real lean angle instead of GPS estimates.

  • MotionRecord import
  • GPS + IMU sensor fusion
  • Lean angle to ±1°
  • Corner-by-corner analysis
One app to record. One app to understand. Unbeatable together.

One tap. The right profile. Let's go.

Motorcycle

100 Hz

Optimized for lean angle, cornering dynamics, and vibration filtering. Your main profile.

Car / Kart

50 Hz

Less vibration, different dynamics. Perfect for track days or kart analysis.

Cycling

25 Hz

Lighter dynamics, longer battery life. For road bikes and MTBs.

More sensors. More control.

Apple Watch sensors

Record heart rate, GPS, and barometer straight from your Apple Watch — alongside phone sensors.

Heart rate (BPM)
Watch GPS
Watch barometer
Sensor toggles: disable each separately

CSV-Export

Export all sensor data as a ZIP bundle with CSV files — ready to analyze in Excel, Python, or MATLAB.

ZIP with every sensor CSV
Compatible with Excel, Python, MATLAB
Your data, your format
No proprietary format

Hz configurator

Choose your recording frequency: 10 Hz for long rides, 50 Hz for everyday use, 100 Hz for maximum precision.

Crash recovery

Your recording survives app crashes and storage problems. Automatic recovery at next launch.

Crash-safe chunk storage
Disk-space check before recording
Automatic recovery
No data loss

Your sensor data. Your device.
No exceptions.

Sensor data is personal. It reveals where you ride, how you ride, when you brake. That's why it never leaves your phone.

MotionRecord has no server. No account. No ad trackers. The app works completely offline — from first launch to last export.

If you want to share your data, you export it yourself. If not, it stays with you.

Real experiences

I always thought I rode symmetrically. MotionRecord showed me: 34° left, 26° right. No GPS track could have told me that.
Andreas, 45 — KTM 1290 Super Duke, track day
As an engineer, I wanted real measurements, not GPS projections. MotionRecord + Kurvenfokus is exactly what I was looking for.
Jens, 39 — BMW S 1000 RR, amateur racer
Just hit Record and ride. Import into Kurvenfokus after the ride — the data is there instantly. No fussing around.
Lisa, 33 — Triumph Street Triple, Alps

Frequently asked questions

Just a phone mount for your handlebars (from around €15). No Bluetooth sensor, no OBD dongle, no subscription.
For hours. Chunk-based storage keeps RAM use constant. The limiting factor is storage space (around 1 GB per hour).
No. MotionRecord runs in the background as a foreground service. Screen off, phone in the mount, forget about it.
Yes. Export it as standard JSON — ready to analyze in Python, Excel, MATLAB, or any other tool. Your data, your format.
Yes. It has a dedicated 50 Hz car profile. Perfect for track days, karts, or drivers who want to analyze their braking points.
Fixed firmly to the handlebars: ±1°. The app calibrates automatically after 5 seconds at a standstill. Far more accurate than any GPS estimate.
Similar to a navigation app using GPS. For long rides, we recommend USB charging from the motorcycle — most mounts have this built in.
