GearGraph keeps the record your car deserves: every service, every fill-up, what it cost, and who did the work. Over a few years that record answers the question every owner eventually asks — is this thing still worth keeping? And when the day comes to sell, it prints a service history for a potential buyer. WHAT YOU CAN LOG • Service entries with parts, labor, tax and the shop that did the work • A single visit that covered several jobs, each with its own category and price • Fuel fill-ups, full or partial, with the price you paid • Photos and scanned receipts, attached to the entry they belong to • Reminders for the next oil change, inspection or rotation WHAT IT TELLS YOU • What the vehicle has cost you to run, per year and per mile • Where the money actually went, by category • Real fuel economy — measured between full tanks, with any interval containing a missed fill-up thrown out rather than quietly averaged in • Which reminders are genuinely due, including mileage-based ones WHEN YOU SELL Export a formatted PDF service history — searchable, selectable text, not a screenshot — or a CSV that opens cleanly in any spreadsheet. Perfect for handing off service records to a buyer. BUILT FOR ONE CAR OR SEVERAL Each vehicle gets its own color, taken from its photo, so a red convertible and a white truck never feel like the same screen. PRIVACY, PLAINLY There is no GearGraph account, because there is no GearGraph server. Your records live in your own private iCloud account and sync between your devices without ever passing through us. The app makes exactly one network request in its entire lifetime: if you choose to look up a VIN, it sends those 17 characters to the free US government vehicle database and nothing else. No ads. No tracking. No subscription. PRICING Free for your first 10 logged events. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited logging forever — it is a tool you buy, not a service you rent. Everything you have already logged stays readable, editable and exportable whether or not you ever pay.
