CarDeck keeps every vehicle you own organised β€” what you've spent, what's been done, and what's due next. YOUR WHOLE GARAGE Add every car you own, from the daily driver to the weekend toy. Each car gets its own card with the details that matter to you: odometer, rego and insurance status, next service, running costs and more. SERVICE & MAINTENANCE Log services and repairs with costs, odometer readings, notes and photos. Set maintenance reminders by date or distance and let CarDeck tell you when something's due. FUEL, EV & PLUG-IN HYBRID Log petrol fills, EV charging, or both β€” CarDeck understands PHEVs properly and tracks fuel economy and electric consumption separately. See your average, best and worst economy at a glance. UNITS THAT MATCH EACH CAR Every car keeps its own units: km or miles, kW or HP, and fuel economy in L/100km, US MPG or UK MPG. An Aussie ute, a US import and a UK classic can live in one garage, each showing the numbers the way they should. COSTS, LOANS & LEASES Track every dollar by category with clear charts. Financing a car? CarDeck tracks loan and lease payment schedules, deposits, extra repayments and remaining balance. REMINDERS THAT WORK Registration, insurance, services, payments and your own custom reminders β€” with notifications so renewals never sneak up on you. REPORTS & RECORDS Export clean PDF reports of service history, fuel logs and costs β€” handy when selling a car or claiming expenses. Attach photos and documents (receipts, invoices, insurance papers) to keep everything in one place. SOLD A CAR? Archive it. The full history stays safe and searchable without cluttering your garage. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No analytics. No ads. Your data lives on your iPhone (and your own iCloud backup) β€” never on anyone's server. The developer cannot see your data, full stop. Built by a car enthusiast in Australia who wanted one honest app for the whole garage.
