It's been about a week since Tunelapse launched on the App Store.
One thing I've learned: Building the app was the easy part. Getting people to discover it is the real challenge. Still, seeing complete strangers download something I built has been an incredible feeling.🚀

Some news: CommuteVibe is now Tunelapse. 🎧

Building CarPlay support for CommuteVibe hit different. Your commute is basically the only time you're forced to just listen — no skipping to your phone. So the queue has to be right the first time. That's the whole bet: last song ends as you pull in.

Apple's adding a new mini-player + Siri AI to CarPlay in iOS 27. Better controls for your drive.But your car still doesn't know how long your drive is. CommuteVibe builds a queue sized to your exact commute. Beta's open — drop a 🚗 for a TestFlight invite.

Current status:
✅ Week 4 of TestFlight
✅ CarPlay support
✅ Beta feedback rolling in
Every week the app gets a little smarter.
Getting closer.

[Steve @ Tunelapse @commutevibe]

Most audio apps ask:

“What do you want to listen to?”

CommuteVibe asks:

“How long is your drive?”

Turns out that’s a much more interesting question.

[Steve @ Tunelapse @commutevibe]

There should be a law against arriving at work with 90 seconds left in your favorite podcast.

Week 4 of TestFlight.
One thing I’ve learned as an indie developer:
The first version of your app is built from your ideas.
The next version is built from your users’ ideas.

CommuteVibe is getting better because people keep telling me how they actually commute.

Confession:

I’ve definitely driven around the block once more just to finish a podcast episode.

Please tell me I’m not the only one.

[Steve @ Tunelapse @commutevibe]

Current status:

✅ Week 3 of TestFlight
✅ CarPlay support live
✅ Real user feedback rolling in

Most audio apps ask:

CommuteVibe asks:

“How long is your drive?”

That one question changes everything.

[Steve @ Tunelapse @commutevibe]

One of the coolest milestones so far:

Seeing CommuteVibe running on CarPlay for the first time.

That was the moment it stopped feeling like a side project and started feeling like a real product.

Very excited for this to show up at my doorstep!

Question for commuters:

What’s worse?

A) Arriving with 4 minutes left in a podcast

B) Having your favorite song cut off right as you park

Choose carefully.

[Steve @ Tunelapse @commutevibe]

Week 3 of beta testing CommuteVibe.

The biggest surprise so far?

People don’t think about “music time” and “podcast time.”

They think about “commute time.”

That completely changed how we think about the product.
