Before your first session

What is Apex North?

Apex North is a desktop companion for Gran Turismo 7. It receives telemetry from your PS5 or PS4 on the same network, shows a live dashboard, records laps, compares driving inputs and speaks race-engineer callouts.

Is Apex North free and open source?

The alpha is free for noncommercial use and its source is public on GitHub. It uses PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0, which restricts commercial use, so it is more precisely described as source available rather than unrestricted open source. Commercial use requires a separate license from Eleven North.

Do I need a PlayStation or extra hardware?

For live GT7 telemetry, you need GT7 running on a PS5 or PS4 and a Windows, Mac or Linux computer on the same network. No extra telemetry hardware is needed. Demo mode lets you explore the app without a console.

Does the race engineer need an AI account?

No account or cloud AI subscription is needed for the current voice callouts. The bundled voice runs locally. Conversational AI coaching is a future goal, not a feature promised in this alpha.

Where does my telemetry go?

Session recordings are stored locally on your computer. Optional voice downloads and release checks use the internet, but the core dashboard, lap recording and bundled voice operate locally.

Have something of your own to build?

Eleven North builds websites, desktop apps and custom software. Apex North is one example of taking an idea all the way to a working product.
