Know exactly what you earn. Every shift. Every mile. GigTracker is built for gig workers who are always on the move. Simple to use, fast to navigate, and smart enough to work hands-free — so you can focus on the road, not the screen. YOUR REAL HOURLY RATE — BY PLATFORM Uber shows you $27 for a shift. GigTracker shows you it took 2 hours — making your real rate $13.50/hr. See your true earnings per hour broken down by platform, every day. Finally know whether DoorDash or Uber is actually paying you more this week. YOUR RECORDS, YOUR STREAK Track your best $/hr shift, best day, best week, and weekly streak. Celebration banners when you break a record. Share your wins straight to social with a one-tap branded share card. HANDS-FREE AI ASSISTANT (Pro) Just talk. Ask "Which platform paid me most this week?" or say "Log a $40 gas expense" and GigTracker handles it instantly — no typing, no menus, no stopping. Built for workers who can't slow down. AI SHIFT WRAP-UP (Pro) Pro users get a smart summary after every shift — insights about your hourly rate, miles, and how this shift stacked up against your recent average. No effort. Just open the wrap-up screen. SUNDAY WEEKLY RECAP (Pro) Every Sunday morning, GigTracker pushes a recap of your week — total earned, best day, top platform, $/hr trend. Built to make tax time easier and your driving smarter. SMART TAX ESTIMATES Gig workers can deduct either mileage or expenses at tax time — not both. GigTracker lets you toggle between both strategies so you can see which one saves you more before you file. Your estimated quarterly tax updates in real time as you earn. AUTOMATIC GPS MILEAGE TRACKING Start a shift and GigTracker tracks every mile in the background — even when the app is closed. At $0.70 per mile in IRS deductions, accurate mileage tracking puts real money back in your pocket at tax time. LIVE ACTIVITY, DYNAMIC ISLAND & LONG-PRESS SHORTCUTS Your active shift timer runs on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island so you always know how long you've been working. End the shift right from the lock screen. Long-press the app icon to start, end, or open AI assistant in one tap. ACTIVE SHIFT FOLLOWS YOU Your active shift status stays visible at the top of every tab — Dashboard, Shifts, AI, Expenses, Tax. Never wonder if you forgot to clock out.
