Carnote keeps the whole life of your car in one place: what you spent, what you serviced and what is coming up next. START IN 10 SECONDS Your first entry in one tap: fuel, oil change, car wash or insurance. Just add the amount. TRY ON A NEW LOOK How would your car look in another colour, in a wrap, on different wheels or with tinted windows? Pick one of 833 real wraps with their codes, set up wheels, tint and calipers — and see your car before and after. Try it on the studio portrait or on your own photo, and make the version you like your main photo. FILL IT IN WITHOUT TYPING Photograph a receipt and the amount, date and category fill themselves in. Say out loud what you did and it becomes a record. Point the camera at your registration document and the car appears with its make, model, year and VIN already in place. KNOW WHAT YOU SPEND Every fill-up, repair, wash and fine in one history. Fuel consumption, cost per kilometre, spending by month and by category - worked out from your own records, not from averages. NEVER MISS A SERVICE A maintenance schedule calculated for your engine, year and mileage rather than a generic table. Reminders by date or by odometer reading: insurance, inspection, oil, brakes, timing belt. Tyre changes by the weather in your city: Carnote tells you when it is time for winter or summer tyres. ASK THE AI MECHANIC A chat that has read your records. What did I spend last month? When did I last change the oil? What is worth checking at this mileage? It answers about your car, not about cars in general. ONE CAR FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Invite up to three drivers — each gets their own Carnote and the car's shared history. A chat with photos, voice messages and location, one-tap requests like "Fill it up", who is driving now and who spent how much. Split a bill equally, or save up together for a big purchase in a common fund. A REPORT FOR A BUYER OR A GARAGE The full service history as a PDF or a link that works for 30 days. A documented car sells for more. DOCUMENTS ALWAYS TO HAND Registration, insurance, receipts and warranties photographed once and always with you. FREE FOREVER Records, reminders — including weather-based tyre-change reminders — history, statistics and documents by hand - without limits, for one car. Drivers of a shared car don't need Pro. Plus one free try-on. CARNOTE PRO AI chat, voice entry, receipt and document scanning, more than one car, inviting drivers to a shared car, unlimited reports, a maintenance schedule recalculated when the car changes, and 3 try-ons a month. 1.99 USD per month or 19.99 USD per year. Free trial: 3 days on the monthly plan or 7 days on the yearly plan. Try-on attempt packs — 10, 30 or 100 — are one-time purchases, not a subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage it in your Apple ID settings.
