Mytess: Native SwiftUI app for TeslaMate (Dynamic Island, Enhanced Geofence Billing, Drive Insights). Recruiting Beta Testers!

I've been maintaining Mytesla UI (a web-based dashboard for TeslaMate) for a while. It works, but it was never quite perfect for mobile use.

Since Jan 4th, I’ve spent the last 20 days "vibe coding" to port the entire experience to native SwiftUI. I used a workflow centered around Cursor + SwiftUI and kept the project extremely lean: no third-party libraries, just pure native code.

The Tech Stack: I built this using Sweetpad and xcode-build-server inside Cursor. It’s designed for iOS 18+ and already supports Liquid Glass materials for the latest OS versions.

Key features I’ve been working on:

  • Native Drive & Data Insights: It’s not just raw data. The app tries to identify driving scenarios and habits, then offers suggestions to optimize your efficiency.
  • Dynamic Island & Live Activities: For checking charging or climate status without unlocking the phone.
  • Geofence Billing: Automated cost tracking based on your location and time-of-use rates.
  • 100% Privacy: It’s a pure client. It connects directly to your own mytesla/teslamateapi. No middleman, no trackers.

I’m looking for feedback to help squash bugs and polish the UI. If you have a TeslaMate instance running, I’d love for you to try it out.
