Keep your road documents and car care records together with Glove Compartment. YOUR DOCUMENTS, WITHIN REACH Store copies of your driver's license, auto insurance, registration, medical card, FOID card, concealed carry license, and other documents. Scan with your camera, choose an image from Photos, or import a PDF or image from Files. Open your saved copies from colorful document cards after unlocking the app. EXPIRATION TRACKING On-device text recognition looks for expiration dates. Review the source, correct the date if needed, and confirm before saving. With notifications enabled, receive local reminders 30, 14, and 7 days before expiration and on expiration day. Cards highlight approaching deadlines and remain expired until updated. CAR MAINTENANCE YOU CONTROL Plan your next oil change, scheduled service, inspection, tire work, or repair by date, odometer, or both. Track upcoming, due-soon, due, overdue, and completed plans; edit, reopen, complete, or delete any plan. Keep one vehicle's service and repair history, including dates, odometer readings, shops, and notes. Set your own fluid-change intervals and warning distances in miles or kilometers. Link a service visit to the fluids changed to calculate their next-due readings. Reset all maintenance data without deleting your documents. PRIVATE, ON YOUR IPHONE Face ID or your device passcode protects access. Document recognition runs on your device. No advertising, GPS driving tracking, or app-provided cloud storage. Your documents and maintenance records are excluded from device backups. Export important document copies before removing the app; maintenance export and cloud recovery are not available. GLOVE COMPARTMENT PLUS Adding and renewing document copies requires an auto-renewable monthly or annual subscription. Prices are shown before purchase. Existing documents remain viewable, shareable, and deletable after subscription access ends, and their existing expiration reminders continue. Maintenance tracking does not require Plus in this version. Restore Purchases restores subscription access, not your local documents or maintenance data. Eligible new subscribers receive a 14-day free trial. Unless canceled before the trial ends, the selected subscription begins automatically at the displayed price. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in App Store subscription settings. Deleting the app does not cancel billing. IMPORTANT Odometer readings are entered manually. Mileage statuses are shown in the app; they are not automatic vehicle readings or mileage-based notifications. Follow your vehicle's maintenance instructions, including time- and condition-based requirements. Document alerts are iPhone notifications, not text messages, and delivery depends on iOS settings. Keep original documents; this app is not a substitute where originals are required. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
