Your car's service history should be yours — and it should never disappear. Most maintenance apps lose your records: an app update wipes your history, a new phone drops it, or a flaky cloud sync quietly corrupts it. And when you finally want your data out, export is locked behind a subscription. Pitkeep is built the opposite way. Everything stays on your device, and you can export and back up your full history — as CSV, PDF, or JSON — anytime, for free. Pitkeep tracks each vehicle's maintenance by time AND mileage, and reminds you before a service is due — whichever comes first. Pick from a ready-made list of common services (oil and filter, tire rotation, brakes, registration, inspection and more), or add your own. WHY PITKEEP • Your records are yours. 100% on-device — no account, no cloud lock-in, no tracking. Works completely offline. • Free export, always. Back up or export your whole history as CSV, PDF, or JSON. Never behind a paywall. • Time and mileage. Services are due by date or by odometer — whichever comes first — with mileage due dates projected from how much you drive. • Reminders that fit real life. Get a local nudge a few days before each service is due. • One tap to log. Record a completed service with date, odometer, and optional cost; the next one reschedules automatically. • Fair pricing. Track one vehicle free. A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited vehicles. Never a subscription, and no ads. Great for anyone who wants to keep a trustworthy, permanent maintenance record for their car, truck, or motorcycle — without handing it to someone else's cloud. Pitkeep is free for your first vehicle. Unlock unlimited vehicles with a single one-time purchase. Export stays free either way.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pitkeep at 5.0 against Synology Drive's 4.5. Pitkeep also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Synology Drive's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (4.4K vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pitkeep sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Synology Drive asks for nothing beyond the download.
Pitkeep holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Synology Drive has 4.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
