## What is DriveMind?

DriveMind logs your drives for you. Automatic mileage tracking, tax-ready reports, a built-in dash cam, and real analytics on how you actually drive — all in one app.

Start driving and DriveMind records the trip on its own. You never open the app. When you park, the trip ends and saves itself, with the route, distance, speed and the place you drove to already filled in.

AUTOMATIC BY DEFAULT 
• AutoStart — detects when you start driving and records without a single tap. Arrive, and the trip closes itself. 
• Named destinations — DriveMind learns the places you visit and labels your drives "Home → Office" instead of a pair of coordinates. Round trips are recognized and grouped together. 
• DriveMind Intelligence — on-device machine learning tags each drive as Commute, Errand, Leisure and more. 
• Automatic vehicle detection — connect to your car's CarPlay or Bluetooth and DriveMind knows which vehicle you're in, and stamps the trip with it. 
• Siri & Shortcuts — "Hey Siri, start a trip."

MILEAGE & TAXES 
• Tax Reports — business, personal and custom purposes, the IRS standard rate for the year in question, exported as PDF or CSV for your accountant. 
• Purpose rules — classify drives automatically by the day and time they happen, so your weekday commute logs itself as Business. 
• Per-vehicle mileage — filter and report by car, for households and businesses running more than one. 
• Custom tags — "Gym", "Class", "Client site". Label trips your way and filter by them.

KNOW HOW YOU DRIVE 
• DriveScore — a personalized score that reflects your driving style, updated as you drive. 
• Trip Heat Map — every mile you've ever driven, color-coded by speed and filterable by time, with pins marking your top speed, hardest acceleration and hardest braking. 
• Trip Replay — scrub through a drive like video and watch speed, time and position move with you. 
• Summary Report — 7-day, 30-day and all-time breakdowns with smart insights and shareable cards. 
• Advanced stats — speed variance, idle time, stop count, peak G-forces, carbon impact estimate and more. 
• Hard braking detection — sudden stops flagged on your trip map as tappable pins.

YOUR CAR, DOCUMENTED 
• Dash Cam — turn your iPhone into a dash cam. High-quality video, stored on your device, no extra hardware needed. 
• Insurance & registration vault — keep your documents in the app, scanned with the camera or imported as PDFs, with reminders before they expire. 
• Fuel tracking — log fill-ups and see cost per mile, efficiency trends and what you're spending over time. 
• Flags & favorites — mark a spot mid-drive with one tap, star the drives worth keeping, and add notes you can edit later.

FOR ENTHUSIASTS 
• Drag Mode — time 0–60 mph, 0–100 km/h, the quarter mile, or a distance you define. Auto-stops, replayable, and saved to your performance history. 
• DriveSense — on-device audio recognition listens for car horns and emergency sirens and marks them on your trip map. 
• Achievements & XP — optional, off by default, for anyone who likes a streak worth keeping.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN 
Every drive is recorded and analyzed on your device. Trips, places and fuel logs back up to your own iCloud, so nothing is lost when you change phones. Your insurance and registration documents stay on your iPhone and are kept out of backups unless you turn that on yourself.

ALSO USEFUL FOR 
• Documenting a trip for an insurance claim or police report. 
• Keeping a clear record of your driving history for personal or official use. 
• Providing evidence in the event of a dispute.

DriveMind is free to use. A subscription — monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase — removes ads and unlocks DriveScore, the dash cam, advanced analytics, the all-time heat map, automatic trip tagging, DriveSense and more.

Download DriveMind and take control of your driving history.

### 1/5 — Big brother is tracking your every move.

*2025-10-02*

Most apps allow you to control the precise location and restrict this to only when the app is in use. Not this app. You download it, and any attempt to set the location tracking to anything other than always on 24/7 blocks you from using the app. The app also says it listens for things like sirens. This means the microphone is on and able to record/listen to you 24/7. It’s an app that uses the camera. Is it able to record photos or. Video 24/7 too?  Google tracks your location so they can build a profile and market ads to you to make money. This app says it doesn’t do that, but it’s sure set up to be the perfect app to track your every step and location every second of everyday  whether you like it or not.

### 5/5 — Great app, beautiful UI

*2025-07-06*

Great app, detailed insights, and great value. In depth insights to how you drive, and generating tax documents to keep track of business/ personal driving is a great feature.

### 5/5 — If you drive, get this app!

*2025-06-28*

This is a great app if you want to track your driving. It can work in the background without you doing a thing. It starts and stops automatically. The creator is also extremely responsive.  All-in-all getting this ap was a wise decision.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-05-23*

Simple and great app, very helpful

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback.

### 5/5 — Drive mind

*2025-05-07*

The DriveScore feature gives me a cool performance score based on my driving style. It’s motivating me to drive safer and more efficiently!

### 2/5 — Need serious work!

*2025-05-03, version 1.5.1*

Saw the Drivemind app promoted on Reddit with a limited time promo for early users. I messaged the developer within the first hour, only to be told the codes had already run out. Fair enough if it’s first come, first serve, but it’s been over 23 hours and the post is still up with no update. That feels intentionally misleading, especially when it’s being used to drive downloads.

As for the app itself, it’s not ready. The driving data is cannot be trusted. It logged my speed at 140 km/h on residential streets on multiple occasions, which is wildly inaccurate. The app promises auto start and auto finish, but starts only midway into the drive. If the core tracking feature can’t be trusted, it defeats the purpose. Needs serious work before it can be taken seriously. The app is promising though with hopefully a bright road ahead!

### 5/5 — An terrifc companion for those biking adventures

*2025-04-16, version 1.2*

An excellent app with a great privacy policy, ideal for expats and travelers alike.

### 5/5 — Minimalistic and simple

*2025-04-14*

Minimalistic and simple app for tracking your drives.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback!

Log running costs and keep receipts. DriveMind compares the standard mileage rate against your actual expenses.

PRIVATE PLACES
Draw a circle around home. Anything inside it is removed from what you share, before it leaves the phone.
