GhostFix Logger

GhostFix Logger is a smartphone app that uses a Bluetooth OBD-II dongle to continuously monitor vehicle sensors and automatically capture snapshots when an intermittent issue occurs. It logs pre- and post-event data, helping owners and mechanics identify elusive problems like crank-no-start or vibration.

Key Features
  • Continuous OBD-II data logging with rolling buffer
  • Automatic event trigger when problem symptoms detected (e.g., RPM drop, vibration)
  • Cloud sync and shareable diagnostic reports for mechanics
  • AI pattern recognition to suggest likely root causes
Target Users: Car owners with intermittent, hard-to-diagnose issues that mechanics have failed to resolve
Revenue Model: Freemium with basic logging free; premium subscription ($9.99/month) for AI analysis and extended storage
