Segl — mileage deduction and driving log without GPS logging. Get there. Get km. Data stays on the phone. Mileage deduction and driving log on iPhone — no GPS logging, no account and nothing in the cloud. Free to download. Segl stores that you were at the building, not your GPS position. How it works 1. Save your places — home, office and customers. A name and an address each. 2. The phone sees the place. Segl records that you were at the building. Not your GPS position. Not a route. Only: you were there. 3. Kilometres are calculated between your saved places and made ready for the mileage deduction — without typing anything. 4. The year’s figures are ready for your tax return. With Solo you close the month and send a timesheet as PDF. Your data stays on the phone Segl does not log GPS positions. The app only stores that you were at a place you saved yourself. All data stays on your phone. No account. No cloud. No servers. Delete the app, and the data is gone — we have no copy. Why this is not a GPS logbook A typical electronic logbook records your position continuously and stores the routes in the cloud. Segl flips that: you get the numbers for tax, and nobody gets your trail. Documentation for tax Mileage deduction: the year’s kilometres in one place, ready for filing. Driving log for tax-free mileage allowance: one row per day with date, purpose, route, km, rate and amount. Not tax advice — always check the current rules. Prices (incl. VAT, purchased in the app) Free: home, office and customers. Km when you are at the place. Mileage deduction — without times. Solo DKK 199/year: timesheet per place with times, close month and PDF/CSV. Business DKK 399/year: everything in Solo plus hours per customer and a local invoice draft.

Verdict
