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.
Leveraging Good Intentions
We believe that drivers recognize the danger of texting while driving, but the need to stay connected can often be too tempting. Groove is the tool to eliminate the temptation and helps you focus on the road.
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.
SEE WHAT YOU MISS
When you aren't distracted by your mobile phone, you realize what you've been missing. Enjoying the journey. Enjoying time with passengers. Time free from constant connection. Relax and enjoy your drive.
