What changed in WrenchTime 6?

19 releases, Aug 2026 to Oct 2026

WrenchTime 6.12.0

Not yet released #6.12.0

  • Your diesel's particulate filter at a glance

    A traffic lamp shows when the filter is regenerating, was interrupted or may need a workshop, as a CarPlay tile and as a card on the Live dashboard and the Live Activity. Pro users can also get an alert when a regeneration starts, so you know to keep driving. It needs an OBD-II adapter and a car that reports it.

    OBD-II app CarPlay gauges

  • Two more gauge styles

    Halo and XP (Pro) join the Live dashboard and CarPlay: a black dial under a 3D glass orb, and a blue glass bezel around an aurora dish with a comet trailing the needle.

  • Custom signals on older J1850 cars

    Custom signals can now reach one module on vehicles that use J1850 VPW or PWM, such as GM Class 2 and older Ford models. Choose J1850 addressing and enter the 3-byte header, for example 6C10F1 for a GM engine module, to read enhanced data like oil pressure or transmission temperature.

WrenchTime 6.11.0

Not yet released #6.11.0

  • Made for wide screens

    On iPhone Duo with its display open, and on iPad in landscape, your vehicles stay on the left while Fuel, Care, Trips and Charts fill the right. A trip opens with its route map down one side and its details on the other.

    Maintenance reminders Fuel economy tracker

  • Charts side by side

    When there is room, the Charts tab lays out two or three charts per row. Maps, the odometer trend and the trip heatmap keep a whole row to themselves.

    Automatic trips

  • Graphs on the Live dashboard

    Two new card shapes plot a reading over time, from the last 15 seconds to the last 10 minutes: a gauge with its graph beside it, or the graph alone. They work for every gauge, OBD-II signal and heart rate, and on the Live Activity too.

    OBD-II app Live dashboard

  • Edit the Live dashboard in place

    Press and hold anywhere on a page to edit it, like the Home Screen. Portrait and landscape pages are now two series of their own, and tapping the page dots opens an organiser with a thumbnail of every page.

    Live dashboard

  • Every OBD-II reading, in full

    Trips now keep every OBD-II reading, not only a simplified chart. All Data on the trip's OBD Data card opens a full-screen viewer that rotates with your iPhone, with zoom down to single samples and exact values. Several signals, overlays, X-Y charts and the full CSV are Pro. Choose how long recordings stay in Settings > Data & iCloud.

    Automatic trips OBD-II app

  • Export a trip's OBD-II data

    A trip with OBD-II data can now be exported from its detail, as a CSV with every signal in your units or as a PDF report with a chart, minimum, average and maximum for each signal.

    Automatic trips OBD-II app

  • The gear your car reports

    The gear now comes only from a signal you set to Use As Gear in Vehicle Tools > Signals, and a recorded trip shows its gear over time and the time spent in each. The old estimate from RPM and speed and its switch are gone, from past trips too.

  • Swiping between Live pages with different colours or gauge styles no longer stutters.
  • OBD-II readings no longer stay missing for days after a connection where the engine answered late, and they come back without reconnecting.
  • Bluetooth OBD-II adapters that connected and then stopped with "did not respond in time" no longer get stuck that way.
  • New custom signals are recorded during trips by default, and leaving the signal editor with unsaved edits asks first.
  • Trip map previews no longer show a white strip along the edge.
  • CarPlay disconnecting during a drive no longer stops the trip's OBD-II recording.
  • The signal catalogue's dot map now magnifies under your finger, and searching shows only the results.
  • The vehicle card keeps one shape on every screen.
  • The trip card has a new two-thirds layout and a new one-third size, which also fits CarPlay's compact row.
  • On iPad, sheets fit their content and a trip's detail opens wide, in two columns.
  • A backup is now one archive, with full trip recordings inside.
  • Trouble code descriptions now download separately, so the app is smaller.
  • Custom signals are now free: create, import and share them without Pro.
  • An expanded chart uses two columns when the sheet is wide, so the chart keeps its room.
  • Permission steps now have one Continue button that takes you straight to the iOS request.
  • The Apple Weather credit now shows the right mark in every language, and its data sources link is always there.

WrenchTime 6.10.0

Not yet released #6.10.0

  • Every signal for your make

    The signal catalogue in Vehicle Tools > Signals now opens on every model of your vehicle's make in one list, with signals written for your own model first. Start Full Scan tests them all, skipping control units that stay silent, and a map of dots shows which ones your car answers. Results are kept for each vehicle, so you can come back to them later.

    OBD-II app

  • Two new gauge styles

    Steam and Segment (Pro) join the Live dashboard and CarPlay: an antique pressure gauge with a silvered face and a copper bezel, and a 90s digital dash with glowing bars and seven-segment digits behind smoked glass.

    CarPlay gauges Live dashboard

  • Trouble codes on CarPlay

    A new tile on the CarPlay Live grid shows at a glance whether your vehicle reports any trouble code, and when it was last checked. Tap it for the codes by kind with their meaning, the freeze frame, the readiness monitors, a new read, and Clear Codes once the engine is off.

    OBD-II app CarPlay gauges

  • Automatic trouble-code scans

    WrenchTime can read the trouble codes as each drive starts, and again at an interval if you like, then tell you on CarPlay or on your iPhone when a new code appears. Set it up in Settings > Connections (Pro).

    OBD-II app CarPlay gauges

  • A clearer Trouble Codes page

    The vehicle's state and the codes now come first, with readiness monitors and the freeze frame one tap away. History shows your latest scans, folds repeated identical ones into a single row, and keeps the rest under Show All. Readiness turns amber only when it would matter at an emissions inspection.

    OBD-II app

  • Boost in psi, bar or kPa

    Engine pressures read from the adapter, such as boost, intake, barometric, fuel and DPF, now have their own unit in Settings > Units & Currency, separate from tyre pressure. The dashboard, CarPlay and trip charts all follow it, and a custom signal that measures a pressure can be shown in a unit of its own.

    Maintenance reminders Fuel economy tracker

  • Compatibility Mode for adapters

    Some inexpensive OBD-II adapters lose track of the vehicle's protocol when asked to reuse the last one, which slowed down every connection. WrenchTime now notices, still connects, and recommends turning on Compatibility Mode for that vehicle in its OBD-II pairing screen.

    OBD-II app

  • Torque in lb-ft or N·m

    Pick a torque unit in Settings > Units & Currency. Engine torque and custom torque signals follow it on the Live dashboard, CarPlay, Live Data and trip charts.

  • Fuel Additive

    Log a fuel additive like any other job on vehicles with a combustion engine, with tips and a suggested interval.

  • A trip that has just started no longer ends on its own when your iPhone mistakes getting into the car for walking.
  • Trip charts in °F, mph, psi or bar now place their axis marks on round numbers in your units.
  • If iOS closes WrenchTime during a trip, OBD-II data now resumes when the trip does, and the CarPlay Live tab no longer waits for a first reading until you stop.
  • A recovered trip stays on the car you picked or whose car stereo was connected.
  • An OBD-II adapter you move between two vehicles is matched to the one whose car stereo is connected.
  • Reconnecting an MFi adapter such as the OBDLink MX+ right after it disconnected is more reliable.
  • When CarPlay cannot show live data yet, the Live tab now says why.
  • Twenty more makes to choose from: DR, EVO, FAW and JMC for cars, and Dukare, Italika, AKT, Keeway, Hyosung, Rieju, Kove, Motomel, Jawa, Norton, Ural and more for motorcycles.
  • Choose how often the Live Activity refreshes during a trip, from Very Slow to Very Fast, in Settings > Live Activity > Performance. It also keeps updating while you stand still in traffic.
  • Each vehicle's Live Activity can now have its own background, automatic, dark, light or transparent, for the Lock Screen and for CarPlay, in Settings > Live Activity.
  • Changing the vehicle in the maintenance form now updates the odometer fields, unless you typed them yourself.
  • On cars with an older K-Line connection, testing a custom signal no longer fails on a signal that reads fine while driving.
  • Other performance improvements and small bug fixes.

  • Build your own Live Activity

    Pick which Live dashboard cards a trip's Live Activity shows on the Lock Screen and in the expanded Dynamic Island, the two readings in the compact one and the row on the CarPlay dashboard, for each vehicle, in Settings > Live Activity. You edit them like the Live dashboard: touch and hold, then drag, resize, add or remove cards. Speed, grade, weather, range, heart rate or any OBD-II signal can take a slot, and a colour and gauge style (Pro) match it to your dashboard.

    Automatic trips OBD-II app

  • Four new gauge styles

    Hairline, Chrono, Radial and Apex (Pro) join the Live dashboard and CarPlay: hairline ticks that follow the tile, a classic needle dial, a ring of lit rays, and a full sweep of colour around the reading. On CarPlay every tile now wears the style, readouts, graphs and stacks included, and round gauges fill the tile.

  • Five new accent colours

    Fire Red, Bright Orange, Phthalo Green, Electric Blue and Pure White (Pro) join the accent colours in Settings > Appearance, and can colour the Live dashboard and CarPlay too.

  • Vans and lorries on WWH-OBD

    Heavy-duty vehicles that speak WWH-OBD instead of classic OBD-II now connect: live data, trouble codes, readiness and freeze frames work the same as on any car.

    OBD-II app

  • More vehicles in the signal catalogue

    The catalogue in Vehicle Tools > Signals now also lists the WiCAN vehicle profiles, so more models get ready-made signals to add in one tap.

    OBD-II app

  • Over 15,000 more catalogue signals

    Signals from control units that answer from their own address, such as the instrument cluster, body and climate modules, can now be added from the catalogue. That brings in over 15,000 signals for Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Cupra, Skoda, Porsche, Bentley, Peugeot, Citroën, Opel and Vauxhall, Jeep, Ram, Dodge, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Renault, Dacia, Nissan, Infiniti, Mitsubishi, MG, Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac, Holden, Haval, Lotus, smart, Volvo, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Hyundai, Honda, Acura and Ford. Distance to empty on a Golf is one of them.

    OBD-II app

  • No more wrong car on a new trip

    A trip started by a Shortcut or a CarPlay automation could show your favourite vehicle on the Lock Screen and in the trip banner while you were driving another one. Until WrenchTime knows which car you are in, it now shows the vehicle whose OBD-II adapter is connected, or Identifying Vehicle. It recognizes the car as the drive begins, as soon as the car behind the adapter answers, so OBD-II data is recorded from the start of the trip.

    Automatic trips OBD-II app

  • LPG and CNG filters

    A vehicle saved as LPG or CNG can now log its gas system's filter, on its own or as part of a Service, with the usual interval shown when you pick it. Other engines never see it.

    Maintenance reminders

  • Trips that wait with you

    While your vehicle's Bluetooth is connected, a trip no longer ends at a level crossing or while you wait with the engine running. Choose how long it may stand still in Settings > Trip Tracking > Stop with Bluetooth Connected; walking away from the vehicle still ends it.

    Automatic trips

  • Fuel, range and odometer from the car

    Any OBD-II signal, custom ones included, can now stand for your vehicle's fuel level, state of charge, odometer, fuel range or electric range: pick it under Use As in Vehicle Tools > Signals. The range card then shows the range your car reports, and fuel and battery estimates, the odometer and the fill-up form count from what it reads, even with the engine off. Signals from the catalog arrive already assigned, and one that would take a role another signal already holds asks you which one keeps it. Use As offers only the roles your engine can use.

  • The full story, back to 1.0

    What's New in Settings > Support now goes all the way back to version 1.0.0, so you can browse every release and see how WrenchTime grew from day one.

Fixed (20)
  • Scanning a fuel pump display now reads an amount whose digits sit apart on the screen, instead of picking up only part of it.
  • Fuel and charging scans keep the decimals of every value and are less likely to settle on a wrong reading.
  • A fuel scan that cannot read the photo now gives up after a few seconds and lets you enter the values by hand, instead of spinning.
  • A receipt photo with a very long run of digits no longer closes the app.
  • WrenchTime now tells you when another app is using your OBD-II adapter, the usual reason a car suddenly stops answering.
  • Gauge readings stay white and turn amber or red only when they enter a warning zone; scale numbers are never coloured.
  • Without an OBD-II adapter connected, Live dashboard gauges still show their dial, with N/A in place of the reading.
  • Feedback is now sent by email, and you choose which parts of the diagnostic log go with it.
  • A trip you start by hand keeps the vehicle you picked, even if iOS closes WrenchTime during the drive.
  • Choosing a photo for a receipt in the fuel form no longer freezes the app.
  • Adding a document from a file still in iCloud Drive, or a large photo, no longer freezes the entry form: a spinner shows while it is prepared.
  • Two vehicles whose car stereos share the same Bluetooth name are now told apart, so each trip is filed under the right one.
  • A drive in another car no longer starts on the vehicle whose car stereo you used last.
  • Saving or importing a custom signal whose gauge range looks unusual now asks you to check it first.
  • Custom signals on older cars that use K-line (KWP2000) now read long answers and reach the right control unit.
  • A trip filed under a car parked where it began now moves to the car you are driving, once the parked one falls silent and you keep going.
  • With automatic detection, a drive that is slow to get going after your car's Bluetooth connects, in a line of traffic or leaving a car park, is no longer missed.
  • While Demo Mode stands in for your OBD-II adapter, a DEMO badge on the Vehicles tab and in Settings says so.
  • Disconnect When the Vehicle Sleeps is now Alarm-Sensitive Vehicle, on each vehicle's OBD-II tab in Settings > Connections: besides going quiet when the engine is off, it keeps WrenchTime away from that car until you have driven off whenever the app has to work out which car you are in.
  • New in Settings > Experimental Features: Split Trips When You Change Car divides a trip in two when you switch cars halfway through, each part filed under its own car.

WrenchTime 6.8.2

#6.8.2

  • Trips land on the right vehicle

    Without a paired car stereo, WrenchTime now recognises the vehicle from its OBD-II adapter shortly after you set off, so trips detected in All Trips mode or started from a Shortcut set to Based on what's connected are filed under the car you are driving. A car stereo that connects after the trip has started now replaces the default vehicle too. To keep every detected trip on the default vehicle, turn on Always Use Default Vehicle where you choose it.

  • Stability fixes and general improvements for CarPlay.
  • CarPlay Live now opens on the vehicle you are in when its car stereo or head unit is paired in WrenchTime, instead of your favourite.
  • When you start a trip by hand, the vehicle your iPhone is connected to now comes first in the list.
  • An OBD-II adapter moved to another of your vehicles now follows it, as long as that vehicle's VIN is saved.
  • A trip no longer keeps reading the OBD-II adapter of another of your vehicles parked nearby.

  • A trip's Live Activity now keeps updating when iOS closes WrenchTime during the drive, and ends with the summary you chose.
  • Stopping a trip no longer makes the trip banner stutter as it slides away.
  • The active trip banner no longer covers the bottom of pages you open from a tab. While it is hidden, the Trips tab icon turns green.

  • Two new gauge styles

    Tourer and Circuit (Pro) give the Live dashboard and CarPlay a new look: a night dial with glowing numbers, or a race-style rim that lights the number under the needle. Each Live page now keeps its own style and colour, set from the page menu while editing, Hide Cards in Settings > WrenchTime Live leaves a plain black or white board, and CarPlay takes a style and tile background per vehicle.

  • Archive a vehicle you sold

    Archive a vehicle from its details and it leaves your lists, statistics and widgets, so nothing gets logged on it by mistake. Its history stays safe: export or restore it any time from Settings > Data & iCloud > Archived Vehicles.

  • Quick actions on every vehicle

    Touch and hold a vehicle card to add a fill-up, a charge or care for it, start a trip, update the odometer, check its oil life or tyre pressure, export its data and more, without opening it first.

    Maintenance reminders Fuel economy tracker

  • Your vehicles, in your order

    Choose Reorder from the same menu and drag your vehicles into the order you want. Every vehicle list and picker in the app follows it.

  • Remember which oil goes in

    Save the oil type, brand and capacity in a vehicle's details, and log the oil actually used, and how much, on every oil change or service. A new oil change starts from the one your vehicle takes, and when you complete one with a different oil, the vehicle's details follow and Oil life shows the oil that went in last.

    Maintenance reminders

  • Every reading, on any card

    Signals in Vehicle Tools lists every reading your vehicle reports, with your own custom signals below them, and any of them can now be a card on the Live dashboard. Custom signals also get their minimum, average and maximum, alerts on CarPlay, a gauge scale of their own and charts on your trips, just like the built-in readings.

    Automatic trips OBD-II app

  • Custom signals follow your units

    A custom signal that reads in °C, psi or km/h is now shown in the temperature, pressure and speed units you chose in Settings, like every other gauge, and its scale follows along.

    OBD-II app Live dashboard

  • Alfa Romeo and BMW signals, built in

    The Community Catalogue now opens with the WrenchTime Signal Library, WrenchTime's own custom signal collections, shipped inside the app so they work offline too. It brings 131 signals for the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio, picked for you when your vehicle matches, and more than 1,800 for BMW: choose your engine, B48, B58, N55, N63, S55 or S63, with extra readings for diesels.

    OBD-II app

  • Test a signal before you add it

    In the Community Catalogue, swipe a signal to the right to read it from your vehicle on the spot, or tap Start Full Test to try every signal in the list once. Each one shows whether your vehicle responds, with its value, so you only add the ones that work.

    OBD-II app

  • Service visits import as kits

    A service visit in a CSV file (annual service, tagliando, Inspektion, revizie) now comes in as a Service kit with its oil change, filters and inspection done, or EV Service on an electric vehicle, instead of a General Inspection. When the import asks you to match the file's services, every kit is now in the list beside the procedures.

  • Bluetooth devices and OBD-II adapters set up for a vehicle now read Paired, so they no longer look connected when they are not.
  • CSV and PDF exports now list the tyre pressures measured on each check.
  • When another app is holding your OBD-II adapter, WrenchTime now says so, with a notification during a trip and in Live Data & Status, instead of looking like the adapter stopped answering.
  • A colour you pick for a vehicle card now shows up vivid in light and dark mode instead of washed out, and the text on the card switches between white and black to stay readable.
  • Merging or splitting a trip now keeps the readings of your custom signals instead of dropping them.
  • Trip charts now use the gauge scales you set for a vehicle in Gauge Scales.
  • Charts of custom signals on a trip now line up with the rest of the drive instead of starting at the wrong time.
  • Your Live dashboard keeps every card through this update, the engine cards included.
  • Mileage reminders now go off as soon as the odometer reaches them, after a trip, an OBD-II reading or a manual edit, and on every one of your devices, not only after a fill-up.
  • A reminder that already went off now reads Reminded, and moving its date or turning the odometer back arms it again.
  • Many optimisations and performance improvements to OBD-II readings.
  • Boost and exhaust temperature readings no longer show as unavailable on some cars.
  • OBD-II live data is faster and steadier, and custom signals from modules behind the car's gateway, like the gearbox oil temperature on some cars, now keep updating while you drive.
  • With Disconnect When the Vehicle Sleeps on, trouble codes are no longer read or cleared while the car is asleep: turn the ignition on first.
  • A trip now ends on time after you switch the car off and walk away, instead of running for several more minutes.
  • A number field holding only a minus sign or a decimal point no longer saves a zero.
  • On iOS 27, trouble code descriptions you already translated are kept instead of being translated again.
  • Editing a care entry from a procedure into a kit, or from a kit back into a procedure, now saves instead of keeping the old type.

  • Custom PIDs from the community

    Custom PIDs (Pro) can now come from the Community Catalogue: pick the model closest to your vehicle and import the readings other drivers have already mapped for it, matched to its model year. Import from Catalogue sits next to New PID.

    OBD-II app

  • Share a custom PID as a link

    Send any custom PID as a link. Whoever opens or pastes it gets the same reading with every setting filled in, and picks the vehicle it goes to.

  • WrenchTime is now in Dutch

    The app is now fully available in Dutch, the tenth language it speaks.

  • Shared vehicles skip the free limits

    On the free plan, a vehicle someone shares with you never counts toward your limits: log trips, fill-ups and care on it even when your own are used up. Forms open on a vehicle you can save to, and picking one over the limit shows the upgrade right away.

    Maintenance reminders Fuel economy tracker

  • Works with the OBDLink MX+

    WrenchTime now talks to the OBDLink MX+, the Apple-certified OBD-II adapter. Pair it once in your iPhone's Settings > Bluetooth, then link it to a vehicle in Settings > Connections like any other adapter.

  • With your weekly trip limit reached, a trip recorded on a shared vehicle is no longer thrown away.
  • A trip that ends without a vehicle is kept for you to assign to a shared vehicle, instead of being lost when your weekly trip limit is reached.
  • The “Which vehicle were you driving?” prompt no longer appears for a trip that was not saved.
  • Recurring costs no longer use up the free monthly care limit each time a new installment appears: a series counts once, in the month it starts.
  • The Stop Trip shortcut now says correctly whether the trip was saved.
  • Home Screen quick actions check the free limit before opening the form, not after you fill it in.

  • Custom readings from more modules

    A custom PID set to 29-bit addressing now works on a car whose OBD port answers on 11-bit, and the other way round: WrenchTime switches the adapter for that reading and straight back. Values kept on a module of the other kind, like the gearbox oil temperature on some cars, now come through, and several of them share one switch so live data stays smooth.

  • Custom readings from every vehicle on your board

    With more than one vehicle, Edit Widgets and the widget gallery let you choose whose custom PIDs to list, so one WrenchTime Live board can carry readings from each of them. A card for another vehicle says which one it reads on and comes alive when the dashboard opens on that vehicle.

    Import a CSV export from Fuelio, Drivvo, Fuelly or Spritmonitor, or map the columns of any other file yourself, into the vehicle you pick. Fill-ups, charging sessions, care entries and odometer readings arrive together, service names are matched to WrenchTime's procedures, and a preview flags duplicates before anything is saved.

    Invite family or a co-driver over iCloud from the vehicle's Sharing section, and choose who can edit and who can only view. Fill-ups, charging, care, odometer history, documents, parking and trips stay in sync for everyone, each entry says who logged it, and your heart rate travels only if you turn it on. A vehicle shared with you never counts toward your own free limits. Sharing is part of WrenchTime Pro.

  • Read what the engine is telling you

    With an OBD-II adapter, read your car's stored, pending and permanent trouble codes with plain-language descriptions, see whether the check engine light is on, check the readiness monitors before an emissions inspection, and look at the freeze frame the car saved when the first fault appeared. Clear the codes once the fix is done and the engine is off, and open How to read this data for a plain-words guide to every part of the scan. Part of WrenchTime Pro.

    OBD-II app

  • Define your own readings

    Build a reading your car reports but WrenchTime doesn't show yet: pick the request, turn the bytes into a number with a formula, and choose a gauge, a plain readout, a status lamp or a lookup table. Show it in Live Data & Status, on the Live dashboard or your CarPlay layout, and record it with every trip. Part of WrenchTime Pro.

  • Gauges tuned to your vehicle

    Set your own minimum, maximum, caution and critical bands for any OBD-II reading, and a red line for the tachometer, per vehicle. Everywhere that reading appears, on the phone and on CarPlay, draws from the same scale.

    OBD-II app CarPlay gauges

  • Time your own runs

    0 to 100, 100 to 200, 80 to 120, 0 to 200, 400 metres and the quarter mile, all timed by GPS, with your best and most recent run saved per vehicle. Results are estimates: the iPhone's GPS updates about once a second, so read the figures within roughly two tenths of a second, and only run this on a closed road.

  • Your heart rate, with every drive

    Turn on Heart Rate from Apple Watch in Settings > Trip Tracking and your pulse rides along with the trip: in the trip's detail, on the Live dashboard, on the active trip banner and in the Live Activity. Nothing is recorded to Health, the workout that carries the reading is discarded as soon as the trip ends.

    Every procedure can now become a recurring series, on any interval of days, weeks, months or years. Monthly payments can fall on a fixed day or the last day of the month, and a due date on a weekend can move to the next business day.

    Maintenance reminders

  • Tolls and parking fees

    Two new procedures for car and bike, so a motorway toll or a monthly garage pass is counted under Dues instead of hiding under Other Expense. Both can repeat like any other.

  • Trouble codes in your language

    Where no ready-made description exists in your language, trouble code descriptions are translated on your iPhone, once, and kept for next time. Manage the download in Settings > Connections.

    OBD-II app

  • More adapters, more cars

    Pairing now lists nearby devices WrenchTime does not recognize yet: pick one and it is kept only if it answers like an OBD-II adapter. Custom PIDs can also reach control units that use extended or 29-bit CAN addressing.

  • Export Data and Data Cleanup read like the rest of Settings, with one Export button and a PDF or CSV choice instead of a stack of buttons.
  • When the period or the filters hide your attached documents, Export Data says so and offers a way back.
  • Without Pro you can log three fill-ups and three charging sessions a month, up from two.

WrenchTime 6.1.2

#6.1.2

  • Much more from the engine

    With an OBD-II adapter, WrenchTime now reads dozens more values whenever your car reports them: boost, torque and power, the accelerator pedal, oil and exhaust temperatures, fuel trims, lambda and ignition timing, and on a diesel the particulate filter and the AdBlue level. They show up in Live Data & Status, can join your CarPlay layout, and are recorded with every trip.

    Maintenance reminders Fuel economy tracker

  • Twenty-five colours

    The palette grows from eleven colours to twenty-five, laid out by hue in Settings > Appearance. Buttons and badges now pick black or white text for whichever reads better, so the darker colours stay legible.

  • Dozens of new makes, A to Z

    Many more car and motorcycle makes, electric bikes included, and the list is now grouped by letter with Other at the end.

  • Live Data & Status shows your car's control unit name and calibration ID when it reports them.
  • Live readings stay smooth when many values are coming in at once.
  • Icons next to switches and form rows wear your accent colour.

  • Quiet once the engine is off

    Some modern cars read any traffic on the diagnostic port while locked as a break-in, and sound the alarm a moment after you lock up with the adapter plugged in. Each vehicle now has a switch in its adapter pairing screen: with it on, the app stops talking to the car the moment the engine is off and picks up again once you drive away, without reconnecting. Start-stop pauses the readings too, until you move off. If the alarm still objects, a second switch drops the Bluetooth link as well.

  • Paint the app your colour

    Eleven colours to choose from in Settings > Appearance, and the whole app follows the one you pick. WrenchTime Live can keep a colour of its own while you drive, so the cockpit reads the way you want without repainting everything else. Your brand's colour missing? There is a row under the swatches to ask for it. Part of WrenchTime Pro.

    Live dashboard

  • A colour for each car on CarPlay

    Every vehicle can now carry its own colour on the car's screen, next to the gauges it already lays out on its own. Two cars in the same garage are told apart at a glance, long before their readings are read. Settings > CarPlay, then the vehicle.

    CarPlay gauges Live dashboard

  • Readings that fit, at a glance

    On WrenchTime Live a figure now fits its card whatever the card's size, and the unit sits on its own line under it instead of crowding the number. Temperatures follow the unit you chose, on the gauge and on the scale printed around it.

    Live dashboard

  • Rearranging the board is smooth

    Adding, moving and resizing a widget no longer stutters: the instruments hold still while you rearrange them, and the widget gallery opens straight away instead of building every card you cannot see.

  • The Price Radar scope stays on screen when no station falls inside the ring, instead of leaving the screen empty.
  • A live reading that takes its time no longer blames the adapter: Settings > Connections sets how long a scan may run before it gives up.
  • A vehicle card no longer flickers back to the previous photo while a new one is being prepared.
  • The map in the widget gallery cannot be left blank any more, and the free widget limit counts the board you can actually see.

  • Find the cheapest fuel nearby

    The new Price Radar button in Fuel plots nearby stations by real direction and distance, with the cheapest one highlighted and its price, distance and navigation one tap away. Turn the ring around the scope to set how far it looks, tap the compass so a station drawn above the middle is the one ahead of you, or switch to Map to see every pin wearing its price and pan anywhere to search another area. Prices come from Italy's official fuel price registry, so they work there only for now. Pick EV and it finds charging points instead: the connectors they carry, who checked in last, when it was verified, and one tap to navigate, matched to the connector type your vehicle holds.

  • Never lose a receipt photo

    When a pump or receipt scan cannot be read, WrenchTime now saves the photo to your library by default so you never lose the numbers. Choose Never, Always, or On Failure in Settings > Fuel & Charging.

  • Old entries won't disappear by surprise

    If you enter a fuel, charging or care record dated older than your data retention limit, WrenchTime now warns you before saving it.

  • Settings that follow your devices

    Data retention, units, and currency now sync across every device signed in to the same iCloud account, as long as iCloud Sync is on.

  • Read the car while you drive

    Pair a Bluetooth OBD-II adapter to a vehicle in Settings > OBD-II and WrenchTime reads it while you drive: revs, speed, engine load, coolant temperature and fuel rate, on a live status screen. Every channel is recorded for the whole drive, adapter drop-outs included, and saved with the trip even when there is no GPS route to draw. Afterwards the trip opens on a chart: one chip per recorded channel, plotted across the drive and scrubbed with your finger, and with Pro you can overlay several channels on the same chart and read them together.

  • WrenchTime, now on CarPlay

    A driving screen with a Live tab of gauge grids for your paired OBD-II adapter's readings, and a Trip tab to start or stop a trip and revisit your last ten drives. Arrange the grid the way you read it in Settings > CarPlay: drag a gauge into another row, carry a whole row higher, give a row a name of your own, and leave out the ones you never look at.

  • Trip routes that follow the road

    Trip maps now pull your recorded track onto the road network, so a drive looks like the roads you took instead of a GPS zigzag. Where no road answers, your recorded points stay exactly as they were, and every distance and speed still comes from them. Settings > Appearance > Raw GPS Trip Lines turns it off.

    Automatic trips

  • A trip sheet built around the drive

    The trip sheet is rebuilt around what you open it for: the distance headline, the route from start to finish, a grid of metrics, a card for consumption and, with an adapter paired, your car's recorded channels plotted underneath.

    Automatic trips OBD-II app

  • Join two trips, or cut one in two

    A drive that ended up recorded as two, because you stopped for fuel, or one trip that was really the way there and the way back: the new Track section in a trip's edit sheet fixes both. Merge lists the trips just before and just after this one, with where they went and the gap between them, and draws the whole block on a map with the joins dashed, and you choose whether a gap is bridged in a straight line or along the roads. Split draws the route with the two halves already tinted and a slider that lands on the stops it detected. Your odometer is never touched either way: the halves add back up to the distance the vehicle already counted. Part of WrenchTime Pro.

  • WrenchTime Live

    A real-time dashboard for the road, opened with the new steering wheel button in Trips or with a Siri shortcut, and Settings > Trips can make it the screen the app opens on. Engine RPM, coolant temperature, fuel level, speed, lean angle, G-force, road grade, compass, altitude, range, next service, a live map, nearby fuel prices, trip stats, weather and phone battery, arranged on a board you build yourself: several pages, seven card shapes, and one layout per orientation, so the screen follows the way you mounted the phone. Every widget is drawn as a real instrument, a sweeping arc with the reading inside it and coloured bands where a value leaves its normal range, light or dark by the time of day, by how bright your screen is, or by your own choice. Press and hold to move or resize a card, and the screen stays awake while you ride. Free includes up to 3 widgets.

  • The Efficiency widget no longer asks you to pick a vehicle again at the start of a month. With nothing to average yet it now says so, instead of reporting a vehicle that is set up correctly as missing.

  • Backups you do not have to remember

    The app now keeps rolling copies of your whole garage, and you can take one yourself before anything risky. Each is a folder in the Files app holding every vehicle, record and photo, and it travels with your iPhone's iCloud backup, so a lost phone is not a lost garage. Settings > Data & iCloud.
