Waybler Connect is the next generation of Waybler — built to make charging feel effortless and dependable wherever the Waybler system is available. With a cleaner experience and smarter flow, Waybler Connect helps you get from “parked” to “powered” with less friction. You can see what’s available, understand the cost upfront, and stay in control the whole time — with a clear overview of sessions, receipts, and history in one place. It’s designed for real life: quick check-ins, simple payment, and confidence that everything is handled. Behind the scenes, Waybler’s energy-efficient approach makes it possible for many drivers to charge at once — a better fit for busy parking areas and facilities where cars stay parked for hours. More access, less stress, and a smoother experience from start to finish.

Pump & Plug is a car log for gas, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric cars in one app: fill-ups and charging sessions, the real cost per mile, service history and reminders. Everything stays on your phone and in your own iCloud. No ads, no account, no subscription. One active vehicle is free with every feature and no limit on entries. Pump & Plug Pro is a one-time purchase for a bigger garage, the history report, and more app icons and colors. LOG AT THE PUMP OR THE PLUG • One form shaped by your car: fill-ups for gas, diesel and hybrids, charges for electric cars, both for plug-in hybrids • Enter any two of quantity, price per unit and total, and the third is worked out • Partial fill-ups and missed entries are handled the right way, so your numbers stay honest • A reading that breaks the odometer order is caught before it is saved, and the form shows which entry it clashes with • Edit anything, and undo a delete SEE WHAT YOUR CAR REALLY COSTS • Miles per gallon, L/100 km, km/L or MPG UK for every segment, the last 90 days and lifetime • Charging efficiency in mi/kWh, kWh/100 mi, km/kWh or kWh/100 km, measured from the plug • Energy cost and total cost per mile or km for the last 30 days, 12 months and lifetime • Plug-in hybrids see blended figures over all the distance tracked, and the share of energy cost spent on gas vs electricity • Electric cars see the average price per kWh at home, at public Level 2 and at DC fast chargers, and what the same kWh would have cost at home SERVICE, EXPENSES AND REMINDERS • A service log with built-in and custom types, shops, costs, notes and up to five receipt photos • Expenses: insurance, registration, parking, tolls, loan or lease, fines, accessories and more • Reminders by months, by distance or both, whichever comes first. You type the interval; the app never guesses one • Logging a service marks its reminder done and sets the next one • A notification at 9:00 AM on the due day, with a heads-up 3, 7 or 14 days before STATS AND CHARTS • Efficiency over time with the average line, cost per month by category, price paid per gallon, liter or kWh, energy and cost by charging place, and lifetime totals • 3 months, 12 months or all time • Every chart has a spoken summary, an audio graph and a plain table of the same numbers BRING YOUR DATA • Import your fill-ups from Fuelly, Drivvo and Fuelio CSV exports, with a preview of what will be saved and what will be skipped • Import any spreadsheet as CSV by mapping its columns • Export everything as CSV at any time, free QUICK ACCESS • A Car widget for the Home Screen, StandBy and the Lock Screen: your car's last efficiency, cost per mile and next reminder, with a button to log • A Log Fill-Up or Charge control for Control Center, the Lock Screen and the Action button • iPad layouts and iPhone Duo support on both displays APPLE WATCH • Your garage on your wrist through your own iCloud: the last efficiency, cost per mile and next reminder • Quick log a fill-up or a charge with the odometer, the quantity and the total • A complication and a Smart Stack widget YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • Your garage syncs to your own private iCloud, so a new iPhone, an iPad or a reinstall brings every entry back. No sign-in • The app makes no network calls of its own and collects no data • No ads, no account, no tracking, no location permission PUMP & PLUG PRO • One vehicle is free with everything: entries, charges, service, reminders, stats, every import and the CSV export • Pro unlocks more than one active vehicle, the vehicle history report PDF, five more app icons, each with its own colors • One payment, no subscription, shared with your family through Family Sharing • Nothing you have entered is ever locked A three-page introduction shows you around on first launch, and you can see it again from Settings.
