Routvik is the no-fuss way to track what your car - or motorbike, or EV - really costs to run. Log a fill-up in seconds and instantly see your fuel economy, spending, and mileage. Completely private, no account required. WORKS OFFLINE, YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • No account, no sign-up, no ads. Everything stays on your device. • Full offline use - log fill-ups anywhere, no signal needed. • Export your complete history as CSV, or everything at once as a ZIP, and import it back anytime. Your data is yours to take with you, back up, or move on. WHY ROUTVIK • Fast logging - add a refuel or odometer reading in a few taps, or scan the pump or odometer with the camera. • Real consumption - accurate L/100km, MPG, or kWh/100km between full tanks, plus price per unit and total spent. • See the trends - a clean dashboard for distance, consumption, and spending by week, month, year, or custom range. • Travel-ready - fill up in any currency and Routvik converts to your home currency automatically. • Jerry cans - log fuel into your cans and from the cans into the tank. Consumption counts where you pour it, the cost stays where you bought it. • Locations - every fill-up remembers the station, so your log doubles as a travel history. Copy the coordinates or open any place in Apple Maps or Google Maps. • Powerful log - filter by period, entry type, country, or trip, and find any stop in seconds. TRIPS - ONE-TIME PURCHASE Turn the log you already keep into journeys. Name a trip, set its dates, and Routvik works out the rest from the entries you logged - nothing to re-enter. • Every trip gets its own dashboard: distance, days, fuel, money, average consumption, plus cost per day and per km. • Broken down by country: what you drove, used and paid in each one, with the average fuel price and your stays. • Every stop on a map - tap a pin to see the fill-up or odometer reading behind it. • Border crossings: log where you crossed and the per-country split becomes exact. • Highlights: longest stay, most kilometers, priciest and cheapest fuel. • An optional evening reminder on trip days without an odometer reading, with the form already open. • Share a trip as a picture with its stats and countries. • One-time purchase, no subscription. Yours on every device you sign in with. BUILT FOR EVERY VEHICLE • Petrol, diesel, and kerosene - in liters or gallons. • Electric - full kWh support, with consumption in kWh/100km and cost per kWh. Available in English, German, French, and Italian.
