## What is Tachograph?

The app Tachograph will help you very easily monitor the mode of work and rest of the international driver.

The Tachograph app has detailed tips on all modes of operation and timers.

When following instructions and prompts, the Tachograph app will not allow violation of work and rest schedules.

The app has a convenient journal where all your shifts are automatically recorded, so you no longer need a notebook for shift records.

Just switch the modes of the app in accordance with what you are doing (Driving/Rest/Work/POA), and the app itself will start the necessary timers and show you all the necessary information.

To switch between work and rest modes, the app has buttons with corresponding names:
- Driving
- Rest
- Work
- POA

Hints on modes of operation can be called by pressing the symbol (?) when selecting any of the modes of operation.

There are 9 timers in the main window of the program:
- Total time 13/15
- Continuous driving 4:30
- Break 0:15/0:45
- daily driving 9/10
- Daily rest period 9/11
- Weekly driving 56
- Weekly rest period 24/45
- Two-week driving 90
- Weekly time 144
All timers start automatically, depending on the selected mode of operation.
By clicking on the name of the timer and the symbol (?) you can call a hint for any of the timers.
 
By going to Menu - Journal you can view and edit the records of all your saved shifts.
Description of the journal is: Menu - Journal - Journal menu.
A hint for the shift editor is: Menu - Journal - Shift - Shift Menu.

The app is designed taking into account:
- Regulation of the European Parliament and Council (EU) No. 561/2006;
- European Agreement Concerning the Work of Crews of Vehicles engaged in International Road Transport (AETR);
- Directives of the European Parliament and Council 2002/15/EC.
To work with the app, you must have a general knowledge of these laws.

The app is translated into the following languages:
- Russian
- Ukrainian
- English.

### 3/5 — Country selector requires internet access

*2025-08-13, version 1.2.25*

Why do you get the list of countries from the internet *every* time you access it?
How often do we get new countries?

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2025-04-21, version 1.2.25*

Easy to use. Really helps keeping an eye on things.

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2025-01-23, version 1.2.25*

I’m only using the free version up to now to test it out. I’m liking how easy this is to use to help keep track of your day2day. I will probably end up paying for the full version.

### 5/5 — Топова програма

*2024-12-22*

Програма топ, для початківців які не зовсім розбираються в тахо буде як знахідка

### 5/5 — Use it every working day

*2024-08-06, version 1.2.25*

I use the journal to keep an eye on my drive/working times.
The recent update as made it even easier to save detail hopefully save me having to buy a diary for work 😊

### 3/5 — Вылетает

*2024-05-19, version 1.2.24*

Приложение стало вылетать, выдавать ошибку при смене режима работы, время вождения и тп. Исправьте пожалуйста

### 5/5 — Хорошее начало, хорошая поддержка самоконтролю

*2024-03-07, version 1.2.24*

Хорошее приложение, удобно использовать, на нём я понял, как работает обычный тахограф. Удобно контролировать режимы, на штатном тахографе показывается не всё, Вовремя сигнализирует о необходимости сделать перерыв… Я параллельно включаю нужные режимы на штатном тахографе, а в этот наблюдаю за временем. Сотрудникам автоинспекции легко давать адекватный ответ на их глупые вопросы, Так как все видно на экране, в журнале. Тыкаю носом в распечатку, поглядывая в смартфон, отлично получается, сразу меняется отношение в диалоге на более уважительное… 
Правда не работает режим автоматического по GPS. Думаю, что разработчики в ближайшее время что-нибудь придумают.

### 3/5 — Very limited

*2023-10-10, version 1.2.24*

It’s maybe good for a long haul and cross country drivers , but it’s very limited for shorter distances and various shift patterns, even if you pay premium version.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-06-28, version 1.2.22*

This is a great app would recommend to any one

### 1/5 — На iOS

*2023-02-01, version 1.2.21*

Приложение не переключается между режимами, на функции gps вождение., необходимо заходить в программу и только тогда оно переключается, например на отдых
