👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I’m excited to share Velo Converter, a fast, interactive unit converter for iPhone.
I started building Velo because I kept running into one specific problem: planning across time zones with friends, family, and coworkers around the world kept turning into a small scheduling puzzle. I needed a better way to look ahead and see how someone else’s day lined up with mine, without constantly doing the mental math.
That became the first version of Velo: a timezone converter built around a scrollable ruler. As I kept working on it, I tried applying the same interaction to other types of conversions and realized it scaled much better than I expected. What started as a tool for time zones gradually turned into a broader converter for everyday values and measurements.
Velo now supports time zones, distance, temperature, weight, speed, volume, area, and currency. You can compare multiple values side by side, scroll to adjust the active value, and watch everything update instantly.
Velo just launched on the App Store, and I’d love your feedback!
I’m especially curious:
- Does this interaction feel useful to you?
- Which conversion mode would you use most?
- What features would make this app worth keeping on your home screen?
Thanks for checking it out.
As someone who travels for business and works with remote teams, I found immediate value in the free version of Velo: Converter — it's the easiest way I've found to check the time across different zones and countries.
But when I discovered it handles volume conversion, I had to go full version. I cook almost daily, and am always looking up how many cups are in a quart or ounces in a cup. Now I just glance at my phone. Super handy at the counter.
Currency conversion is slick too — yeah, other apps do it, but not with this level of intuition and polish.
I often look at apps and think "what would Apple have built here?" This is one of the rare ones that actually feels like it belongs on iOS.
