Gate app icon

Open your gate safely, with your eyes on the road

Gate triggers your own Shelly relay to open a gate, garage or door right from your car's or bike's screen or your phone.

No extra hardware, your data never leaves your device. Full control and safety at the tip of your fingers.

What it does

Simple, focused, safe — with a free option

One tap to open

Big, glanceable tiles on the car screen. Tap to switch your relay instantly.

Auto-open countdown

Optional timer that opens automatically as you arrive — or asks you to confirm first.

Two devices

Control a gate and a garage (or any second relay) with per-device icons.

Request-to-open

A multi-stage flow (countdown control, pop-up, then a persistent notification) so you decide exactly when it opens.

Your data stays put

Credentials live only on your device. No analytics, no tracking, no servers of ours.

Works everywhere

Same app on your phone, in Android Auto, and built into the newest Android Automotive OS cars, like Volvo, Polestar, Chevrolet or BYD.

☕

Why free, with no ads?

Because we'd rather you buy us a coffee (to wake us up to new ideas) than have a single distraction cause an accident.

No ads, no tracking.

And one coffee, just once, costs less than the battery you swap in your remote every single year.

Your eyes stay on the road.

That's the whole deal. Drive safe. Cheers. 🇵🇹

Coming soon

Gate MAX

  • Automatic GPS opening, at your chosen distance
  • Pop-up to confirm or cancel opening
  • Current gate status — open or closed
  • Setup more than 2 devices
  • Support for other devices' APIs

It has a cost — but it's a one-time payment, and still cheaper than one remote or two batteries.

Win-Win for Life
