Your comma, live on your phone.

CommaView shows your comma’s road camera and driving overlays on your Android phone or tablet, over your own network. Record drives, see your week and find your car.

  • comma 3X and comma four
  • openpilot and sunnypilot
  • No cloud: video stays on your network
The CommaView home screen: a Toyota RAV4 with its comma 3X connected, the Open Live View button, the runtime version and device address, this week’s driving, and the car’s live location on a map.

Features

Built around your drive.

Everything the app shows comes from your comma, over your own network.

Live View

The road camera, live on your screen.

See what your comma sees in real time, with the path and lane lines openpilot draws on top. Record a drive with one tap, or keep Live View in picture-in-picture.

  • Classic, CommaView and high-contrast overlays
  • Details at a glance: video, network, runtime
CommaView Live View on a tablet: the road camera with lane lines drawn over it, the controls rail, and a details pane showing Live, Connected, 20 fps video, Wi-Fi and the runtime version.

Recordings

Every drive you save, on your phone.

Save drives from the comma to your phone, play them back with the overlays, and export or share a clip. Recordings stay on your phone until you delete them.

  • Grouped by day, with the size of each
  • Replays made on the phone, not in the cloud
The Recordings screen: drives grouped under Today, each with a thumbnail, its time, length and size.

Driving insights

Your week at a glance.

Distance, drive time and drives for the week, day by day, and all time. Recorded by your comma, straight from its own logs.

  • Miles or kilometres
  • Clear about the source: your comma, not the odometer
The Driving insights screen: this week’s distance, drive time and drives, a bar for each day, and all-time totals.

Vehicle location

Where the car is, and where you parked.

The car’s live position while you drive, and its parked spot afterwards, on OpenStreetMap. It’s off until you turn it on, and the position goes straight from your comma to your phone.

  • From the comma’s own GPS
  • Turning it off deletes the positions the comma kept
The Vehicle location screen: a live dot on a street map, with the last update, source, accuracy and coordinates.

Screens shown with sample data.

How it works

Up and running in three steps.

  1. Join the beta

    Sign up with your email. We’re letting people in in small groups and email your invite when it’s your turn.

  2. Install the app and add your comma

    Guided setup connects to your comma over SSH, installs the small CommaView runtime and checks it. It takes a few minutes.

  3. Open Live View

    On the same Wi-Fi or the comma’s hotspot, video streams straight from the comma to your phone.

Local first

Your drives stay yours.

CommaView is a local Android app and a small runtime on your comma. It isn’t a cloud dashboard.

  • Video, drives and places go from your comma to your phone, and nowhere else.
  • Recordings stay on your phone until you delete them.
  • Your CommaView account is only for beta invites and getting the app.

Questions

Good to know.

What do I need?

An Android phone or tablet (Android 8 or later) and a comma 3X or comma four running openpilot or sunnypilot. The phone and the comma need to be on the same network, or the phone on the comma’s hotspot.

Does it need the internet?

Live View and recordings don’t: they go straight from the comma to your phone. The map in Vehicle location and app updates do.

What does it install on my comma?

A small runtime, commaviewd, that serves the camera and driving data to the app on your network, and a small hook in openpilot’s on-screen UI so CommaView can draw the same path and lanes. Guided setup installs both and checks them.

Is CommaView made by comma.ai?

No. CommaView is an independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by comma.ai.
