Help & FAQ

MileTracker uses your iPhone's motion sensors and GPS to notice when you're driving. When you reach driving speed, it starts recording. When you park, the trip ends on its own and waits in Pending for you to categorise.

For this to work:

• Allow “Always” location access
• Turn on Motion & Fitness
• Keep Background App Refresh on

• Business: 72.5 cents per mile
• Medical: 20.5 cents per mile
• Charity: 14 cents per mile
• Personal: not deductible

MileTracker calculates your potential deduction with these rates. See our guide to the 2026 rules.

Premium subscribers can export reports:

1. Open the Summary tab
2. Choose the period
3. Tap Export

Reports include date, start and end places, distance, category, purpose and deduction. See a sample report.

Go to Settings → Accountant access and create a link. Your accountant opens it in any browser — no account needed — and can view and download your trips from the last 13 months. Personal trips are hidden by default, links expire after 180 days, and turning the link off deletes the shared copy. More about the live link.

Your trips, places, routes and notes stay on your iPhone, and in your own iCloud if you turn on sync. We never sell data and there are no ads.

What does reach our server:

• Anonymous usage statistics — device model, iOS and app version, language/region, which screens and features are used (for example “a trip was categorised”), paywall and purchase events, and crash reports. Never your name, email, location, trip places, notes, amounts or advertising IDs. Turn it off in Settings → Privacy → Share Usage Data.
• Accountant link — only if you create one: a copy of your last 13 months of trips (personal trips hidden by default), deleted when you turn the link off.
• Referrals — only if you use a code: an anonymous ID and the code.

To delete usage data, email essentialdevteam@gmail.com with the Installation ID shown in Settings → Privacy. Full details in our Privacy Policy.
