Everything Swervo does.
Every feature, grouped, with an honest label. We'd rather tell you what's still on the way than have you find out on a shift.
- Available In the app beta drivers have today.
- Rolling out Built and in testing. It reaches drivers in stages, or works today only with Swervo paired to a computer.
- Coming soon In development. Not in the app yet.
Offers and Autopilot
- Available
Spoken verdict, with the reason
Take, skip or your call, in a few words, while the offer is on screen.
- Available
Judgement, not filters
Weighs the detour in minutes, where the drop-off leaves you, the pickup's wait and the time you have left.
- Available
Backward-trip detection
Skips offers that drop you behind where you're headed.
- Available
Learned pickup waits
Learns how long each restaurant takes from your own pickups and counts it as your time.
- Available
“Your call” when it can't see enough
Says so instead of guessing, and leaves the tap to you.
- Available
Observe and Test Shift
Free. Swervo reads and speaks and never taps; afterwards you see each offer, its verdict and why.

Takes strong offers and skips bad ones, only when its checks pass. Direct-download edition.
- Available
Countdown and one-tap stop
The bar counts down before Swervo acts. One tap stops it.

Choose which apps Swervo works with. On one app, a skipped offer is left to run out instead of being declined by a tap; on another, Swervo advises and never accepts.
- Rolling out
Also take stacked orders

Your own rules for the Play edition
Set the rules a verdict follows, in the edition that never taps.
