Listen to the road
Fochanka records impacts and vibration. The tarmac tells its story; you can leave the notebook at home.
ROADS, MADE VISIBLE.
The road talks.Fochanka takes notes.
Real roads, real bumps and a lot of kilometres spent tuning. Our own algorithm does the hard work so you can see what happened on each drive. Prepare your measurement before setting off; take a look once you've stopped.

MeasureThe sensors record what the tarmac has to say. Even when it gets a bit thumpy.
ReviewRoute, intensity and events. No need to rely on ‘I think it was around here’.
ContributeYour kilometres help draw the map. Your personal journeys stay out of the spotlight.
From the first impact to the whole story
Every drive has something to say.
Fochanka listens to the tarmac and puts its stories in order. You choose when to revisit them.
Keep the journey
History brings your available measurements together. Revisit the journey, not the bump.
Understand what happened
Route, colours and events to make sense of that ‘what on earth was that?’ moment.
Make every kilometre count
Kilometres, points, levels and achievements. Even the usual errand can have its moment of glory.
A look inside Fochanka
From tarmac to screen
Once you've stopped, the drive is still there: its map, its details and a place to revisit it.
Return to the sceneRoute, intensity and events to locate that bump you still remember.
The whole drive at a glanceOpen the map once you've finished: the whole route, without piecing it together from memory.
Your road archiveYour available journeys, within reach. Take another look without starting the car.
Take the map for a spin
Make the tarmac show its colours.
Pick a filter and have a look around. No need to start the car.
What do you want to see?
The route first.
Green, yellow, red and purple: four intensity levels, from a gentle ride to ‘well, that made itself known’. It is what the iPhone records, not an official grade for the road.
Bumps
That familiar clunk nobody ordered. Fochanka marks these bumps so you can revisit the scene without driving over them again.
Extreme bumps
When a clunk becomes a ‘what on earth was that?’. The strongest recorded impacts get a lightning bolt. Subtle was never their thing.
Social notices
Uneven surface, gravel… the road takes comments too. For now, your notices stay in your journey and earn points: more travel diary than megaphone.
Also in the glovebox
Two instruments for when the road gets interesting.
They are not the main event, but they are useful when the tarmac — or the lack of it — gets playful.
G-force meter
Put a number on that ‘only slightly enthusiastic’ corner.
Off-road inclinometer
Pitch and roll for when the tarmac runs out.
Even bumps count
A small challenge inside every drive.
Fochanka turns every drive into a small game: map kilometres, earn points from bumps detected along the way — no hunting for them, of course — level up, unlock achievements and follow your spot in the rankings. That bump you used to grumble about now counts for something. No need to turn every errand into a championship. But you can.

Before setting off
The useful bits, without the manual.
What do I need to get started?
A compatible iPhone. Choose the vehicle and phone placement in the app before setting off.
Do I need to touch my phone while driving?
No. Prepare the measurement before leaving and keep your hands on the wheel. A passenger may mark notices; if you are alone, do not touch the phone while driving.
Do my notices reach other drivers?
Not yet. For now, they stay in your journey and earn points, but other users cannot see them. More travel diary than megaphone.
Do I need an account?
Yes. It gives your available journeys, profile and progress somewhere to come back to: your private archive.
Is this a road inspection tool?
No. Fochanka shows what the iPhone recorded; it does not put an official stamp on the tarmac. Vehicle, mount, placement, speed and road conditions can all change the result.
