Every practice drive counts. DriveTime is an automatic GPS log for learner's-permit drivers: start a session and it records the route, duration, and night hours toward your state's requirement, including in the background with the phone locked. Switching from RoadReady? Import the affidavit PDF or CSV and keep going. No paper logbook, no end-of-month guessing. BUILT FOR PERMIT DRIVERS • Start a drive and DriveTime records your route by GPS, and keeps logging in the background with the phone locked. • Night driving hours are detected and totaled automatically • Forgot to start a session? Add past drives manually in seconds • Capture weather, road types, and your own notes for each drive KNOW WHERE YOU STAND • Supervised-hour requirements for all 50 states and D.C. built in, total and night • Set your driver's-test date and see whether you're on pace to be ready in time • Progress at a glance: one ring for total hours, one for night hours • Full session history with route maps, distance, and conditions FOR PARENTS • Every supervised drive on the record: when, how long, how far, and the route taken • Export the complete log as a CSV anytime • Import a RoadReady affidavit PDF or CSV and keep tracking the rest of the hours DRIVETIME PRO • Speed-limit alerts the moment your new driver is over the limit: an audible warning in the app, or a notification when the phone is locked • Auto-end detection: DriveTime notices when the car is parked, so sessions don't run long • A printable parent's log formatted for your state's GDL sign-off Pro is a monthly subscription with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
