The Problem

Gig workers and other self-employed drivers depend on automatic trip capture to maintain tax-ready mileage and expense records. Existing products can miss drives, stop recording in the background, introduce steep price increases, or restrict access to historical records, leaving users to reconstruct months of business activity.

Potential Solution

Build a mobile mileage ledger that automatically records drives, supports rapid manual correction, and stores an accessible local copy of every trip and expense. Offer unrestricted CSV and PDF exports, visible recording-health alerts, and a fixed-price annual plan or one-time purchase. The initial product should focus narrowly on trustworthy record capture and ownership rather than broader gig-work features.

Why Now?

Repeated price increases and inaccessible records are prompting established mileage-app users to seek alternatives. Modern phone location services can support a focused replacement whose differentiators are predictable pricing, recording transparency, and data portability.

Great, but needs one important thing I really love this app and it tracks my mileage great. But why can you not see your personal mileage total? You can easily see your business miles total, but when doing taxes it also asks your personal miles. When you tap on personal miles it just takes you to where you have tagged each journey as personal. Am I supposed to go through each day of the year and add them all up? I left Hurdlr to use Gridwise because Gri
