DriveMint vs Moda

A private, modern driving log for learner drivers — and the parents helping them earn a license. Track supervised hours, see real-time progress against your state's requirements, and export a DMV-ready form when you're done. No accounts. No ads. No data leaves your phone. Built by a parent of a 15-year-old learner who couldn't find a driving log app that wasn't bloated with ads, gated behind a sign-up, or quietly syncing every drive to someone else's server. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Start a drive and watch the timer, speed, and distance update live. Pause and resume whenever you need. • Follow the drive from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — a live timer keeps counting even while the phone stays locked. • Add a home-screen widget with a progress ring toward your state's required hours, always up to date. • Optional GPS distance. Turn on location and miles are counted automatically. Your route is never saved or uploaded; only a rounded location per drive stays on your phone, for sunset times. • See your state's exact requirements — total hours, daytime hours, nighttime hours — with progress bars that move every time you save. All 50 US states supported, using data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. • Know your finish date — DriveMint reads your recent weekly practice pace and projects when you'll reach your state's requirement. • Night hours that hold up — nighttime driving is counted against your actual local sunset and sunrise, computed on-device, not a fixed clock time. • Add the supervisors riding with your learner (parents, guardians, instructors) and see hours logged with each one. • Missed a drive? Log it manually with full control over date, time, distance, and conditions. • Export your state's official DMV form (Pro): 43 states and DC, from the NC DL-4A to the Texas 30-hour log. The plain log is free. • Share a drive between two phones using a QR code — parent logs the drive on their phone, teen scans, and it's imported instantly. No cloud, no link, no account ever touched. • Store a photo of the learner's permit for quick reference. • Back up everything — drives, supervisors, profiles — to a single file you control, and restore it on a new phone. Still no cloud, still no account. • Works on light and dark mode. Designed to be fast and quiet. PRIVACY YOU CAN ACTUALLY VERIFY DriveMint has: - No accounts, no sign-up, no login screens - No cloud storage — your driving logs stay in a local database on your phone - No analytics SDKs (no Firebase, no Sentry, no Amplitude — none) - No advertising frameworks, no ad tracking - Your driving data never leaves your device The only time DriveMint connects to the internet is to process the optional DriveMint Pro purchase — handled through your app store and RevenueCat, which see the purchase and an anonymous app ID, never your driving logs. Everything else works fully offline, and the optional location permission is used on-device only. If you've used other driving log apps and wondered why a permit tracker needed your email address, your phone number, or a cloud account — you're not the only one. WHO IT'S FOR • Teens working toward a learner's permit or graduated license • Parents and guardians supervising new drivers • Families getting a second driver through the same process • Anyone who needs to document supervised driving in a serious way DESIGNED TO ACTUALLY WORK DriveMint is built on the latest React Native and Expo SDK 54 with native performance on iPhone and iPad. Cold-launch is fast, the timer runs reliably, GPS doesn't drain your battery, and there is no loading spinner waiting on a server. STATE REQUIREMENT DISCLAIMER State requirements are sourced from IIHS and reviewed regularly. Always confirm exact rules with your state DMV before submitting any form. DriveMint is an independent app and is not affiliated with any DMV or government agency. Learn more at drivemint.app

Moda is the driving hours tracker for teens. Start a drive from CarPlay, press the Action Button, or just say "Hey Siri, start a drive in Moda." With lock screen viewing, easy export, skills tracking, automatic weather detection, and so much more, Moda is perfect for all your tracking needs. Best of all, it's just $4.99 once, and the whole family can share it! Other apps lose your data, are riddled with ads, or want to charge you a subscription, don't have lock screen visibility, have incorrect weather, and the list goes on. At Moda, we want to reverse the status quo. Here's what we do instead: ► AUTOMATIC EVERYTHING Moda is designed from the ground up so that you, the user, has to do as little as possible to get it to work. Moda handles finding weather, discovering and securely saving your location, tracking your time, tracking your distance and route, and making sure all of the people who need this information have it in a way they can understand or is required. Whether that's your parent, your guardian, your DMV, or your pet turtle, we're here for it. ► HANDS STAY ON THE WHEEL CarPlay puts Start and End on your car's screen. The Action Button, Siri, and Shortcuts automations start a drive without the phone leaving your pocket, and a Shortcuts automation can start one the moment your car connects. Ask Siri how many hours you have left and it answers out loud without opening the app. While you drive, the running time sits on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Moda works out who is supervising from your last drive, and confirming it takes one tap when you stop. ► EXPORT EASILY, NOW Moda export is one of the app's easiest features. Moda supports 3 kinds of exports: PDF, CSV, and for the 7 states that require it, Moda comes preinstalled with official PDFs from those states so you just have to print it out. For the other 43 states + DC, Moda's format contains all the required information and then some. We try to make life easier. ► SEE WHERE YOU STAND We don't like confusion, so Moda has none of it. Everywhere you look, you will see clear, consistent data informing you exactly what is happening, why, and what you've done and still need to do. This includes the progress wheel on the dashboard, the stats during the drive, the post-session analysis and so much more. ► FAMILY LINKING You shouldn't have to pay multiple times for an app designed for a family. For just $4.99 once, parents, guardians, and supervisors can link with a 6-digit code and track progress from their own phone. One purchase covers up to 6 family members. Because family needs to know. ► EVERY STATE, PRELOADED Forget about researching your state's requirements, downloading forms, and the whole tedious process of government documentation. Moda comes pre-installed with hour counts, instructor data, curfew times, and special notes about each state, built right into the dashboard. Moda is $4.99 one time, shareable with up to 6 family members. Privacy policy: https://modadriving.com/privacy. Terms: https://modadriving.com/terms. Download Moda today.
