## What is Brimly?

Check-engine light on? A repair quote you can't judge? Brimly puts a mechanic who knows YOUR car in your pocket — your real mileage, your service history, your fuel log — so you walk into the shop informed, not afraid.

WHY DRIVERS SWITCH TO BRIMLY

◆ "Is this repair quote fair?"
Paste or photograph the estimate. Brimly's AI checks every line against YOUR log: what the shop already did 4,500 miles ago, what isn't due yet, what looks like an upsell — and what's genuinely worth doing. You get a plain-English verdict per line and the one question to ask the shop, not a lecture.

◆ Check-engine light? Know what's wrong before you go
Plug in any inexpensive ELM327 OBD2 adapter: Brimly reads and clears trouble codes and shows live engine data — no dealer scan fee. Then ask the AI to explain the code for YOUR exact car and mileage: which part usually fails, what to have tested first, and what to say at the counter instead of "the light is on".

◆ An AI mechanic that knows your car
Brimly's assistant sees your actual consumption, mileage and every logged service, and answers like a mechanic who's been with your car for years: "Why did my mileage drop?", "Knocking over bumps — serious or not?"

◆ The log that makes it possible — without the typing
Point your camera at the gas receipt: gallons, price and total are read on-device in 3 seconds. Add your car by photographing it — AI fills in make, model, generation and engine. Already tracking elsewhere? Import Fuelio, Drivvo, Fuelly or any CSV, free and unlimited.

◆ Know what's actually due
Reminders by date AND mileage — for many popular models, the factory maintenance schedule becomes reminders in one tap. When the shop says "you need this", you already know whether you do.

◆ Plan trips with real numbers — and a ready car
Pick a destination: distance, time, gallons, a cost range and fuel stops from YOUR real consumption, plus a maintenance check: "Oil change due in 550 miles, your route is 820 — do it before you go." One tap gets an AI trip checklist for your car and season.

◆ Gas stations, right where you need them
See the stations around you and along your route, and mark the ones worth coming back to.

◆ What car is that?
Photograph any car in a parking lot — Brimly tells you the model, years and engines, with a couple of fun facts.

◆ Everything in one place
True consumption math (full & partial tanks), every expense category, clear cost-of-ownership charts. Registration, insurance and inspection papers with their expiry dates watched for you. Home and Lock Screen widgets, a trip Live Activity in your Dynamic Island, hands-free fill-ups with Siri.

◆ No account. No ads. Your data is yours.
Tracking works offline and syncs through your private iCloud. Receipts are read on your device and never uploaded.

◆ Selling your car?
Hand over the full service history as one file — or a clean PDF passport of the car with every fill-up, service and cost totaled. A documented car sells better.

ALWAYS FREE
Fuel & expense tracking, import from other trackers, trip cost calculator, nearby gas stations, reminders and smart notifications, stats, widgets, iCloud sync, up to 2 vehicles, your first receipt scan, Car Spotter 3×/day, and 5 AI assistant questions a day — repair-quote second opinions included.

BRIMLY FOREVER — pay once, yours forever

### 1.2.7 — 2026-11-02

Hotfix update.

• Among the new models are Japanese kei trucks and vans: the Daihatsu Hijet and the Suzuki Carry and Every, along with their twins from Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru and Toyota. The catalogue also gains older Toyota Corolla generations, back to 2002, and more generations of the Honda Fit, Nissan Serena, Toyota Sienta and other popular Japanese models.

### 1.2.5 — 2026-10-24

• Made for iPhone Duo: open it, and the Garage, log, statistics, assistant and Trip Planner spread across two panes on either side of the fold. Closed, Brimly works just as before.
• On iPad in landscape, the same screens show two panes side by side.
• Two Brimly windows can sit side by side, each with its own car and its own chat.
• At the largest text sizes, amounts stay in one piece, and rows and cards no longer overlap.

• During the sale, the Garage also offers a free car check-up with the AI assistant.
• When a plan is discounted, the purchase screen shows the regular price next to the sale price.
• New in Settings → Notifications: “Offers & discounts”. It stays off unless you turn it on, and we write a few times a year at most.
Thanks for driving with us!

### 1.2.3 — 2026-10-09

• Smart notifications, free for everyone: a nudge when you forget to log a fill-up or charge, a spending recap on the 1st of every month, and a heads-up a week before your mileage reaches the next service. Service and document reminders now arrive at 10 a.m. Settings → Notifications.
• New in the Garage in the US and Canada: Maintenance plan — the factory service schedule for your car, added to your reminders in one tap. 36 popular models so far.
• Your first receipt scan is free.
• Easier logging: Save tells you exactly what's missing, and your first fill-up can reuse the mileage you entered when adding the car. The Garage also explains when fuel consumption will appear.

• Land Rover joins the built-in car catalog.
