KPM Sim Kit now has a standalone desktop app for managing dashboards, widgets, overlays, and settings. It reads iRacing telemetry directly and runs its dashboard host in the background, so closing the window leaves displays active. Open it again from the tray, or use Quit KPM Sim Kit to stop the host.
SimHub is an optional connection for showing KPM dashboards on wheels, monitors, and phones. The new Integrations page finds SimHub, connects or repairs it, and shows a phone address when one is available. A local SimHub display waits for the KPM host to start before opening its dashboard.
The Windows setup can install the app without SimHub. When it finds an existing KPM SimHub installation, it moves dashboards and settings into the app and connects SimHub to them. When a newer version is available, the top bar offers the update and the app opens a verified setup file.
Build conditions that change how a widget looks
Add rules such as If RPM is at least 8000 and gear is greater than 2, then change text. Edit data, comparisons, and values directly from compact chips. Combine conditions with and or or, and drag rules into order. Each rule has buttons to enable, duplicate, or remove it. When rules match at the same time, later rules win for the same visual property.
Rules can change text, background, border, opacity, visibility, or flash. The choices and values follow the selected data type, including named values for gear and session state. The same condition controls now drive widget, overlay, and screen visibility. Widget editors share the rule controls, and live data updates only the widgets that use a changed condition.
The data browser groups related readings into categories and variants. Search across all data, or start with the current selection, recent choices, and commonly used readings.
More room to edit, with clearer controls
Editor sidebars start at a quarter of the window and remember the width you set across editors. A thin blue divider marks the resize handle. The sidebar uses one tab row, with tighter type and spacing so more settings fit without losing their hierarchy.
Text changes open a compact popover with font size, weight presets, and color swatches. Reset icons restore dashboard defaults. Border controls let you link sides or corners, or adjust them separately. Ordering controls make it easier to see and change the position of selected items.
