How We Do It

Katasi Groove uses a direct telematics connection from your car or truck to the internet, to know when a drive starts, and to quickly and positively identify the driver. Once we identify the driver, we block distracting content at the network level before it can reach the phone. Blocked messages are stored and then forwarded when you reach your destination.

Groove Just Works

Plug the Groove module into your vehicle, sync your phone and that's it. Groove knows when you're driving and blocks distractions until you complete your trip.

WORKS LIKE MAGIC

Groove technology determines who is in the vehicle, who is driving, and which distractions to block. Groove's intelligence creates the best possible user experience for every scenario.

KEY PARTNERSHIPS

Katasi technology partners, including MobileIron (MDM), Geotab (Fleet Telematics), and leading U.S. Telcos, have invested along with us to help Groove limit distractions on your mobile phone while you are driving.

FOCUSED DRIVERS

Groove works on any phone. When you start your drive, distractions and alerts are disabled and saved in the cloud. Once you arrive at your destination, full function returns to the phone and stored messages are forwarded.
