Now in TestFlight Beta

Drives That Log Themselves.

The automatic mileage tracker for iPhone. Your drives sync through your own private iCloud. We never receive them, so there’s nothing for us to sell.

iPhone only, for now.

The Whole Job

Three Things, and Two of Them Are Not Your Problem.

  1. Install it

    Grant location access once. There’s no account to create and no card to enter.

  2. Drive

    Leave your phone in your pocket. MileMarker notices the drive start, records the route, and files it when you park.

  3. Swipe

    Right for business, left for personal. That’s the whole daily job, and it takes a couple of seconds a drive.

What You’ll Be Testing

Drive normally for a week and tell us where it falls down.

  • MileMarker drive list with this week's deduction total and classified drives

    Drives log themselves while you drive.

  • Swiping a drive to classify it as business in MileMarker

    One swipe sorts business from personal.

  • A single MileMarker drive showing its map route, distance, and deduction

    Every drive keeps its own route and distance.

  • MileMarker reports screen with business mileage totals and category breakdown

    Month-end totals your accountant will recognize.

  • MileMarker export screen offering CSV and PDF mileage logs

    Export a clean CSV whenever you want it.

  • MileMarker home timeline mapping a week of drives

    A week of driving, mapped from your own history.

What It Does While You’re Not Looking

You Drive. It Keeps the Book.

You drive.
It starts and ends the drive on its own, then trims the parking-lot drift off both ends so the distance is the distance.
You park somewhere you go often.
It learns the place, so your log reads “Home to Riverside Clinic,” not two sets of coordinates.
You swipe a drive to Business.
It remembers the pattern and stops asking about the commute you make every morning.
You need a purpose for the IRS.
It keeps the purpose on the drive, where an auditor expects to find it.
The IRS changes the rate mid-year.
It prices every drive at the rate in force on that drive’s own date, instead of smearing one rate across the whole year.
Tax time arrives.
It totals the year by category and writes a mileage log your accountant has seen before.
You want your data out.
CSV export, free, forever. Your miles are yours to take.
You came from another app.
CSV import brings your history with you, including MileIQ and Everlance exports, free.
You glance at your phone.
Widgets and the Lock Screen carry the month’s total, and a Live Activity runs the deduction up while you drive.
You get a new iPhone.
Your own iCloud syncs it across. There’s no account to migrate, because there’s no account.

Where Your Drives Live

On Your iPhone. In Your Own iCloud. Nowhere Else.

The app has no account to create, no third-party analytics SDK, and no ad network. Your drives, routes, and locations are stored on your iPhone and sync only through your own private iCloud, during the beta and after it.

The only things that reach us are the ones you send on purpose: a bug report you write in the app, plus anything you attach to it. The optional troubleshooting log does include recent location points, which is exactly why it’s off unless you switch it on.

Anonymous crash and usage diagnostics are opt-in and off by default.

The app: no analytics SDK, at all.
This website: Google Analytics, to count visits and check the beta link works. Ad features are off, and it never sees any driving data. How privacy works

You’re Not a User Yet. You’re a Tester.

Break It, Then Tell Us.

This is a real beta on real roads, and the failures we can’t reproduce are the ones we need most. Here’s what’s most useful.

  1. Drive somewhere ordinary Then check whether the start, the end, and the distance match the drive you actually took.
  2. Let it sit overnight Tell us what the battery looked like the next morning.
  3. Classify a week of drives See whether the swipe stops asking about the routes you make daily.
  4. Export a CSV Open it in whatever you use for taxes and tell us what’s missing from it.
  5. Tell us Open Settings, scroll to the bottom, and tap Send feedback. Attach a screenshot if you have one. If a drive went missing, switch on Attach troubleshooting log too.

Questions

If the answer you need isn’t here, ask us through Settings, then Send feedback.

How Do I Get the Beta?

Tap the install button on this page from your iPhone. There’s no waitlist and no invite email: the TestFlight link is open, so you can install right now.

What Is TestFlight?

TestFlight is Apple’s official way to install beta apps on iPhone. Tap the link, install TestFlight if you don’t already have it, and MileMarker installs like any other app. Beta updates arrive through TestFlight too.

How Does Automatic Tracking Actually Work?

MileMarker watches for the motion signature of driving and starts a drive on its own. You don’t press start, and you don’t leave the app open. It records the route, trims the parking-lot drift off both ends, and files the finished drive in your list.

Will It Drain My Battery?

It shouldn’t. MileMarker uses the same low-power location services Apple built for exactly this, so it stays asleep until you actually start moving rather than holding GPS open all day. Battery is one of the specific things we want beta reports on, so if your day looks worse, please tell us.

What Happens After the 7-Day Trial?

The trial starts the first time you open the app and unlocks all of Pro: automatic tracking, IRS PDF reports, auto-classify rules, Jobs, and extra vehicles. On day 8 those lock and manual tracking keeps working, free. If automatic tracking stops on you around then, that’s the trial ending rather than a bug. To keep testing the Pro features, you can subscribe inside the beta at no cost, because TestFlight purchases are sandbox purchases and never charge your card.

Is My Data Private During the Beta?

Your drives, routes, and locations are stored on your iPhone and sync only through your own private iCloud. The app has no account, no third-party analytics SDK, and no ad network, so we never receive your driving data. The exceptions are the things you send us on purpose: a bug report you write in the app, and anything you attach to it. The optional troubleshooting log does include recent location points, which is why it’s off unless you turn it on. Anonymous crash and usage diagnostics are opt-in and off by default. Worth separating the two things: the app carries no analytics SDK at all, while this website does use Google Analytics to count visits and check the beta link works, with ad features switched off. The website never sees any driving data.

How Do I Report a Bug or Ask for a Feature?

In the app, open Settings, scroll to the bottom, and tap Send feedback. Choose Bug or Feature idea, describe what happened, and attach a screenshot if you have one. If a drive went missing or the distance looked wrong, switch on Attach troubleshooting log as well: it includes recent location points, so it stays off until you turn it on, and it’s the fastest way for us to find the cause.

Why Does It Need Always Location and Motion Access?

Motion is how MileMarker notices you’ve started driving without holding GPS open all day, and GPS only switches on once a drive is confirmed. Without the Always permission, iOS only lets the app detect drives while it’s open on screen, which defeats the point of automatic tracking.

What If It Misses a Drive?

Add it by hand anytime. MileMarker also runs a weekly check against your motion history and offers to backfill drives it missed, and Settings → Tracking → Detection health shows a 14-day timeline of what it caught. Missed drives are the single most useful thing to report during the beta.

What Does It Cost After the Beta?

Manual tracking stays free forever, and so do your full history, CSV export, CSV import, backup and restore, receipts, expenses, categories, and named places. Pro covers automatic tracking, IRS Pub 463 PDF reports, auto-classify rules, Jobs, and more than one vehicle, at $5.99 a month or $49.99 a year once we launch publicly.

Can I Bring My History From Another Mileage App?

Yes, free. Export a CSV from your current app, such as MileIQ or Everlance, then use Settings → Import drives. You get a preview before anything saves, and no account is required on either end.

Can I Keep My Miles After the Beta?

Yes, and you don’t need to do anything: your data lives in your own iCloud, and the beta build and the App Store build read the same private container, so it carries straight across. You can also export a CSV or save a portable backup file anytime, free.

Which iPhone Do I Need, and Does It Work on iPad or Apple Watch?

iPhone with iOS 17 or later. There’s no iPad or Apple Watch app yet. You do get Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, a Live Activity with a running deduction while you drive, Siri Shortcuts, and Spotlight search across your drives.

Does It Handle the 2026 Mid-Year IRS Rate Change?

Yes. The 2026 business rate changed partway through the year, so MileMarker prices every drive using the rate in force on that drive’s own date rather than applying one rate to the whole year. It also supports ten countries and kilometres, not just the US.

How Long Does the Beta Last?

Until the public App Store launch, and we don’t have a firm date yet. There’s no charge during the beta, no card, and no account.

Get In Before Launch.

The beta is free, and it’s the only way to use MileMarker right now.
