## What is Drive Mint DMV Permit Log?

A private, modern driving log for learner drivers — and the parents
helping them earn a license. Track supervised hours, see real-time
progress against your state's requirements, and export a DMV-ready
form when you're done. No accounts. No ads. No data leaves your phone.

Built by a parent of a 15-year-old learner who couldn't find a driving
log app that wasn't bloated with ads, gated behind a sign-up, or
quietly syncing every drive to someone else's server.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Start a drive and watch the timer, speed, and distance update live.
  Pause and resume whenever you need.
• Follow the drive from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — a live
  timer keeps counting even while the phone stays locked (iOS 16.2+).
• Add a home-screen widget with a progress ring toward your state's
  required hours, always up to date.
• Optional GPS distance — turn on location and miles are calculated
  automatically. Coordinates are processed on-device and never stored
  or transmitted.
• See your state's exact requirements — total hours, daytime hours,
  nighttime hours — with progress bars that move every time you save.
  All 50 US states supported, using data from the Insurance Institute
  for Highway Safety.
• Know your finish date — DriveMint reads your recent weekly practice
  pace and projects when you'll reach your state's requirement.
• Night hours that hold up — nighttime driving is counted against your
  actual local sunset and sunrise, computed on-device, not a fixed
  clock time.
• Add the supervisors riding with your learner (parents, guardians,
  instructors) and see hours logged with each one.
• Missed a drive? Log it manually with full control over date, time,
  distance, and conditions.
• Export an official DMV form when it's time to apply for the license.
  North Carolina DL-4A is supported out of the box; a generic form
  works for other states.
• Share a drive between two phones using a QR code — parent logs the
  drive on their phone, teen scans, and it's imported instantly. No
  cloud, no link, no account ever touched.
• Store a photo of the learner's permit for quick reference.
• Back up everything — drives, supervisors, profiles — to a single
  file you control, and restore it on a new phone. Still no cloud,
  still no account.
• Works on light and dark mode. Designed to be fast and quiet.

PRIVACY YOU CAN ACTUALLY VERIFY

DriveMint has:
- No accounts, no sign-up, no login screens
- No cloud storage — your driving logs stay in a local database on your phone
- No analytics SDKs (no Firebase, no Sentry, no Amplitude — none)
- No advertising frameworks, no ad tracking
- Your driving data never leaves your device

The only time DriveMint connects to the internet is to process the
optional DriveMint Pro purchase — handled through your app store and
RevenueCat, which see the purchase and an anonymous app ID, never your
driving logs. Everything else works fully offline, and the optional
location permission is used on-device only.

If you've used other driving log apps and wondered why a permit
tracker needed your email address, your phone number, or a cloud
account — you're not the only one.

WHO IT'S FOR

• Teens working toward a learner's permit or graduated license
• Parents and guardians supervising new drivers
• Driving instructors tracking multiple students
• Anyone who needs to document supervised driving in a serious way

DESIGNED TO ACTUALLY WORK

DriveMint is built on the latest React Native and Expo SDK 54 with
native performance on iPhone and iPad. Cold-launch is fast, the
timer runs reliably, GPS doesn't drain your battery, and there is no
loading spinner waiting on a server.

STATE REQUIREMENT DISCLAIMER

State requirements are sourced from IIHS and reviewed regularly.
Always confirm exact rules with your state DMV before submitting any
form. DriveMint is an independent app and is not affiliated with any
DMV or government agency.
