Stop handing your location history to someone else's server. MILES NOW keeps your drives on your device and in your own iCloud. We run no servers, there is no account to sign up for, and we cannot see your trips. How it Works: Tap 'Start' to log your drive via on-device GPS. Categorize trips with a single swipe. Key Features: No accounts, no logins, no ads, no third-party tracking. Battery Optimized: High-efficiency background logging. Automatic drive detection, so you stop forgetting to press record. IRS-ready PDF and CSV mileage reports. CarPlay, Live Activities and widgets. Teams (optional): Drive for an employer? Tag a drive to a team and your manager sees the date, the place names, the distance and the purpose. Never your route, and never your exact coordinates. Personal trips are never shared.
