Free apps for Windows

Truly lightweight.
Built for racing.

Three free Windows apps that handle everything around the race: they open your programs when the PC starts, turn wheel buttons into shortcuts and put telemetry on screen. They run in the background without stealing FPS from your simulator.

Together, they build your setup

From the moment you turn on the PC to the checkered flag.

  1. PC on

    AppLauncher opens your wheel software, dashboard and the other programs you marked, in the right order and with each delay.

  2. Simulator open

    PadMap turns wheel and button box buttons into shortcuts, including the ones the game or your stream will not take directly.

  3. On track

    PitWall HUD shows standings, relative, radar and fuel over the game, without pulling your focus off the race.

Why use them

Want to help the project?

Every app is free. In PitWall HUD, anyone who wants to can support it on Ko-fi with a one-time payment from US$ 5 and get a few convenience extras. Nothing you need to race is ever locked.
