TachoMate counts down your EU driving and rest times, so you always know how long you can still drive โ€” before a roadside check tells you. No account. No ads. Works offline. Your activity data never leaves your phone unless you export it. KNOW YOUR REMAINING DRIVING TIME Live countdowns to your next break, your daily driving limit, the weekly and fortnightly limits and your next daily and weekly rest. TachoMate tracks your 10-hour extensions, reduced rests and the compensation you still owe, following EU Regulation 561/2006 and the AETR agreement. Everything is calculated on your phone, so it keeps working with no signal. LOG YOUR DAY IN SECONDS Record driving, other work, availability, breaks and rest by hand, or let GPS-assisted logging suggest the change for you. Border crossings are detected automatically and logged against the right country. Every edit is kept in an audit trail, so you can always see what changed and when. SEE A VIOLATION BEFORE A CHECK DOES Every infringement is flagged with its severity and a plain-language explanation of which rule it breaks and why, with an indicative fine range. The shift and multi-week planner shows when you can drive again and helps you place your weekly rests. YOUR TACHOGRAPH FILES, READ ON YOUR PHONE Import .DDD files from Gen1, Gen2 and Gen2v2 driver cards and tachographs โ€” from the Files app, email or any app that shares them โ€” and see your activities checked against the rules. TachoMate reminds you when your next card download is due. PLAN THE ROAD AHEAD A map of truck parking, fuel stations and places to eat from OpenStreetMap, with fuel prices where national open data exists. A 14-day truck-ban calendar for major EU countries. A multi-stop route builder that hands off to Google Maps or Waze. Advisory HGV speed-limit reminders, and rule reminders for weekly rest, card downloads and driving bans. KNOW WHAT EVERY TRIP EARNED Work out your earnings per km, per hour, per day or as a percentage of freight, and keep expenses with receipt photos. Create PDF reports for shifts, trips, fuel and CMR. Share a weekly recap card, and keep your remaining driving time on a home-screen widget. FREE FOREVER, NOT A TRIAL โ€ข Manual activity logging and the full activities log โ€ข Live timers and compliance checks โ€ข Map with truck parking, fuel and food โ€ข Rule reminders โ€ข A limited number of .DDD file imports If Pro lapses, the Pro features lock โ€” your data never does. Every activity you logged stays on your phone. TACHOMATE PRO Unlimited imports, PDF reports, earnings and expenses, the route planner, the truck-ban calendar, the home-screen widget and the weekly recap card. Choose a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase โ€” no forced subscription. 16 LANGUAGES English, German, Polish, Romanian, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Croatian, Ukrainian, Russian, Turkish, Spanish, Italian, French, Dutch and Portuguese.
