How It Works
Three steps. Zero effort.
Why AutoGhost?
Built different. Built safer.
Distracted Driving Is a Design Problem
Most driving safety apps rely on GPS tracking and data collection. AutoGhost takes a fundamentally different approach.
Every year, distracted driving causes thousands of accidents and claims thousands of lives. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), distracted driving killed 3,308 people in the United States in 2022 alone. Globally, the World Health Organization estimates that road traffic crashes kill approximately 1.35 million people each year — and mobile phone use while driving is a leading contributing factor.
The problem isn't willpower. Our phones are engineered to demand attention — every buzz, ping, and notification is designed to pull your eyes off the road. Most people know they shouldn't check their phone while driving, but the temptation is constant. That's why AutoGhost exists: to remove the temptation entirely, automatically.
Unlike other driving safety apps, AutoGhost doesn't track where you go. We use your device's built-in motion sensors — the accelerometer and gyroscope — to detect vehicle movement. This means your location data is never accessed, stored, or transmitted. Your driving history stays on your device, encrypted and private. We believe driving safety shouldn't come at the cost of your privacy.
