CarMan
Read full descriptionHide full description
Do you know what your car costs you every month? CarMan gives you the answer — and a whole lot more. CarMan is the vehicle logbook you always wished existed: simple, yet powerful enough for a whole fleet. Fuel, costs, trips, notes, and photos — in one place, in sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. KNOW YOUR REAL COSTS Log every fill-up, insurance bill, repair, and parking ticket. See where your money goes — by category, by month, by kilometre. FUEL LOG THAT DOES THE MATH Record a fill-up in seconds — from the receipt total or the pump price. CarMan calculates your average consumption — l/100 km, kWh/100 km, both for plug-in hybrids, or mpg — and tracks how it changes, so you spot a problem before it gets expensive. BUILT FOR ELECTRIC TOO Log charging sessions with charge level and type, and see what home, AC, and fast charging really cost per kWh. NEVER RUN ON EMPTY After a few fill-ups CarMan learns your rhythm, predicts when the next one is due, and tells you when it is overdue. With Premium the same works for inspection, insurance or servicing — by date, by mileage, or both. NEVER LOSE A RECEIPT AGAIN Snap an invoice with the built-in camera or attach a scan — right on the fill-up, cost, trip, or note it belongs to, backed up to iCloud. MILEAGE LOGBOOK FOR TAXES Running a car for business? Start a trip with a tap, end it with a tap. CarMan logs the distance, the departure and arrival time, and who was driving, and classifies each trip as Business, Private, or Commute — exactly what your accountant needs. SEE YOUR TRIP AS IT HAPPENS A running trip lives on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with elapsed time and distance at a glance. CarMan records the route in the background, even with the screen off. RIGHT ON YOUR CAR'S DISPLAY Start and end trips, log fill-ups and charges, and check your vehicle in CarPlay — no typing needed. What you log on the road waits on your iPhone for a quick check. EVERY ROUTE, ON A MAP When the trip ends, the route is drawn on a map — and CarMan offers the closing odometer reading from the distance you actually drove, saved as a standard GPX file. STATISTICS THAT REVEAL THE FULL PICTURE (Premium) Fuel and other costs, consumption, distance, and cost per kilometre at a glance — plus monthly and yearly charts, a category breakdown, and a consumption graph. PDF EXPORT & TRIP LOGBOOK (Premium) Export a vehicle history as a clean PDF — or a trip logbook with times, drivers, odometer readings, and business details, ready to sign, or as CSV. Every change is kept with its reason; lock closed months and a checksum proves nothing changed. FIND ANYTHING IN SECONDS Global search finds fuel entries, costs, trips, and notes across all your vehicles instantly. MANAGE ALL YOUR VEHICLES Car, motorcycle, truck, motorhome, trailer? CarMan handles as many as you own. KEEP ONE LOGBOOK TOGETHER (Premium) Share any vehicle with other iCloud users in seconds — and share the work, not just the view. Whoever fills up logs it from their own iPhone, and it appears on yours. Costs, trips, notes, and photos sync both ways. Remove access any time. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account sign-up. No ads. No tracking. Everything lives in your private iCloud. SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish. FREE TO START — UNLOCK EVERYTHING WHEN YOU'RE READY CarMan is free for one vehicle. Premium adds unlimited vehicles, reminders, statistics, PDF export, and sharing. Purchases restore automatically on any device. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS CarMan Premium Monthly (1 month) and CarMan Premium Yearly (1 year) are auto-renewing subscriptions at the price shown in the app. They renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel in your App Store settings. The lifetime purchase is one-time and never renews. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://80h.de/CarMan/privacy.html
