About Cardashly

Cardashly is an in-dash car dashboard and navigation app for Android, built by Psychelit, an independent software studio founded by Tung Doan. It turns any Android phone or tablet mounted on a dashboard into a driver-focused cockpit: large glanceable speedometer, offline-capable maps, music, radio and one-tap calling on a clean dark screen.

The team & founder

Cardashly is designed and developed by Tung Doan (Founder & Lead Engineer) at Psychelit. We build focused, distraction-free automotive software that puts driver safety first.

You can connect with us directly on Tung Doan's LinkedIn or follow our company updates on the Psychelit LinkedIn page.

The production app is live and available worldwide directly on Google Play.

Why we built it

Plenty of cars on the road have no screen at all, or one that stopped getting updates years ago. Android Auto and CarPlay only help if the car supports them. Meanwhile most drivers already carry a phone with better GPS, better maps and better music than the car it rides in. We wanted that phone to be the dashboard, in any car, without wiring or a new head unit.

How we write the guides

• From building the app. The technical details in our guides, such as how often GPS updates, where speed comes from and how OBD-II adapters behave, come from writing and testing Cardashly itself.
• We disclose our stake. Every guide says up front that we make Cardashly. When another option fits a reader better, such as Android Auto in a car that supports it, we say so.
• No paid placements. No product mentioned in a guide has paid to be there.
• Real screenshots. Images of Cardashly are captures of the actual app, not mockups.
• Dated and maintained. Each guide shows when it was published and when it last changed. If something we wrote turns out to be wrong, we fix it and update the date.

Safety first

A dashboard is only useful if it keeps your eyes on the road. We design for glances of under a second: large type, high contrast, dark colors at night, and nothing that needs typing while you drive. Read our guide to driving safely with a phone dashboard.
