## What is Auriga?

Auriga is a private, on-device mileage tracker built for gig drivers and the self-employed. Every mile
  tracked is a deduction earned — but only if you can prove it. Auriga logs every drive, computes your IRS
  deduction using the current year's standard mileage rate, and hands your accountant an audit-ready PDF.

  ONE-TAP OR FULLY AUTOMATIC
  Start a trip manually, or let Auriga auto-detect driving using Apple's Motion APIs and log trips without you
  doing anything. Lock your phone during a shift and the Live Activity keeps your stats visible — with
  Business, Personal, and Stop buttons right on the lock screen.

  BUILT FOR GIG WORK
  Spark, DoorDash, Uber, Instacart drivers: Auriga counts every mile between pickups that those apps don't
  credit you for. At $0.725 per mile for 2026, a typical full-time gig driver is leaving $3,000 to $6,000 on
  the table every year without a tracker. Auriga is the tracker.

  PRIVATE BY DESIGN
  No account to create. No servers to send data to. No analytics. Your routes, trips, vehicles, and tax info
  stay on your iPhone. See the privacy policy — we mean it.

  • Live GPS tracking with accurate route polylines
  • Automatic drive detection (optional)
  • Live Activity with lock-screen classify buttons

  AURIGA TAX+ (OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION)
  Goes beyond mileage to deliver the full self-employed tax package.
  • Quarterly estimated tax calculator with reminders one week before each deadline
  • Track expenses (gas, tolls, parking, phone, maintenance) with proper Schedule C line mapping
  • Smart filtering prevents double-dipping errors that could trigger IRS questions
  • Schedule C-ready PDF that maps straight to Form 1040 Schedule C
  • Pro users get 3 months of Tax+ free, activated only when you first tap a Tax+ feature

  PRICING
  Core mileage tracking is free forever. Pro unlocks auto-detect, Live Activity, PDF export, and unlimited
  vehicles for a one-time purchase — no subscription. Tax+ is an optional monthly or annual subscription for
  the advanced tax features.
