Free. Unlimited. Automatic. AutoMiles logs and sorts every drive for you — with no 40-drive monthly cap, no paywall, and nothing locked behind a purchase. Most mileage trackers stop you at around 40 automatic drives a month, then ask for $60 or more a year. AutoMiles is different: unlimited automatic trips, free. New — an optional way to turn the ads off Every AutoMiles feature is free and stays free: automatic logging, classification, monthly and quarterly reports, exports, vehicle costs. Nothing is locked behind a purchase, and nothing about the free app got smaller. Ads are what pay for the work. If you would rather not see them, AutoMiles Ad-Free removes every ad in the app — that is all it does — and it supports continued development. Your deduction counts only the drives you confirmed Auto-classification still labels every drive as it is saved, but a label it is not sure of now waits in your review queue instead of counting as a finished business mile. One tap each, and the guesses you correct still teach it. New installs outside the US start in kilometres where the country uses them. Starting a drive by hand no longer dead-ends when location access is off — the app offers to turn it on and picks the recording back up. More than one car, more than one workplace Add your vehicles and every drive is tagged with the car you were in — switch cars in one tap, and get a mileage report for each vehicle. Register more than one regular workplace, and drives between them count as business. A drive that wasn't yours — a taxi, a friend's car — takes one swipe to exclude, and stays a tap away in the new Excluded tab. Reports for any month or quarter Export a summary report for a single month or quarter, not just the whole tax year — the right period for quarterly estimated taxes and monthly reimbursement claims. Early each month, your home screen offers last month's report. Drive thumbnails now draw instantly and turn into the real map once you open a drive. A deduction that follows the real IRS rate 2026 is a split year: the IRS standard mileage rate is 72.5 cents through 30 June and 76 cents from 1 July. AutoMiles prices every business mile against the rate that was in force on the day you drove it, so the second half of the year is not quietly under-counted. Your dashboard leads with the number that matters — your estimated deduction — for this month or the whole tax year. Free and unlimited — always - Unlimited automatic drives, no monthly cap - Every feature free — nothing locked behind a purchase - An optional subscription removes ads; it unlocks nothing - A genuinely free alternative to paid mileage apps Automatic mileage tracking AutoMiles records your drives in the background, so every trip lands in your mileage log automatically. No start button. A quiet daily digest rounds up new drives for you to review. Built for 1099 taxes Keep IRS-ready records for the standard mileage deduction. Separate business miles from personal driving and commute, then export a clean log at tax time. Commute miles are tracked but flagged non-deductible, so your business mileage stays accurate. Made for gig and self-employed drivers - Rideshare and delivery drivers - Freelancers, contractors, and small business owners - Real estate agents, sales reps, and daily commuters Sort every trip by purpose Turn on auto-classification and AutoMiles learns your regular places — home, work, your usual stops — and labels each trip Business, Personal, or Commute. You confirm with one tap, and your corrections always win and make the next classification smarter. It runs entirely on your device. Private by design No account, no sign-in, no cloud sync. Your drive history is stored on your device, and auto-classification runs there too. AutoMiles is free and supported by ads. Download AutoMiles and start logging every mile automatically. Free.
