MilometryAutomatic recording
Milometry can spot you leaving somewhere you parked and start recording on its own, then stop once you have been still for a few minutes.
FeaturesEverything it does,
Everything it does,
and why.
Milometry is built around three jobs: record the drive, sort it, and work out what it is worth. Everything below exists to serve one of those.
Recording
Drives that log themselves
Press go if you like. Or let Milometry notice you have set off and handle it, then stop when you park.
Automatic recording needs location set to Always and, on Android, battery set to Unrestricted. Some phones stop background apps anyway; the app warns you when that happens, and our Android guide shows the settings to check. Read the Android guide
Keep your phone in a holder and leave it alone on the road. Milometry needs nothing from you until you have parked.

Starts with your car
On iPhone, pair it with your car stereo through a Shortcuts automation and journeys begin as you connect, hands free.
Siri, Shortcuts and long press
“Hey Siri, start a trip in Milometry.” On Android, long press the icon for the same. Start, stop, go quiet for four hours or log a fill-up. Voice works hands free; the long press and the fill-up are for before you set off or once you have parked.
Widgets and Live Activity
Start or end a drive, or go quiet for four hours, straight from the home screen widget on either phone. On iPhone the Live Activity shows distance climbing on the lock screen while you drive.
Quiet on the train
One tap, a Siri phrase or a calendar event that mentions a train, and Milometry records without a word: no alerts, and on Android only the notice the system itself requires. Set travel hours and whole days go quiet in advance.
Usually knows a train from a car
A journey with no corners and a steady speed, or gentle stop-start at town pace, is a train or a bus, not miles. Milometry usually spots it, asks, and learns from your answer. Binned trips can be restored from the bin.
Nothing recorded is lost
Every point is saved as it arrives. Close the app mid-drive and Milometry tells you, then offers to carry on or save what it has.
More than one car
Keep a van, a company car and the runaround side by side, each with its own plate, economy and running costs.
Sorting
Business or personal, in a flick
The bit most mileage logs make a chore. Milometry turns it into a few seconds on the sofa.

Swipe to sort
Right for business, left for personal. Each card replays the drive on the map so you actually remember the journey.
Learns your places
Tag the office or a regular site once and Milometry suggests the right answer next time, or sorts the whole backlog for you.
Trim and split
GPS ran on after you parked? Trim the ends. Two errands recorded as one? Split it into two journeys on the map.
Merge and undo
Rejoin a drive broken by a petrol stop. Undo any swipe, and restore anything from the bin.
Add trips by hand
Forgot to record one? Enter it in seconds, or duplicate a journey in reverse for the trip home.
Bring your history
Import a CSV from your old app or a spreadsheet. Match its columns to Milometry and the tax year is whole again.
Sort a backlog at once
Left a fortnight of driving unsorted? Hold one trip, tick the rest, and file them all in a single tap.
There and back, joined up
Milometry spots the return leg of a journey and offers to pair the two, so an out-and-back reads as one round trip.
Group a trip together
A holiday, a job, a week on site. Collect the drives under one name and read their miles and claim as a set.
The money
What the miles are worth
Approved rates, real fuel costs and everything else that comes out of your pocket, worked out as you drive.
See it in depth
Approved rates, banded properly
55p per business mile, banded to 25p past 10,000, counted across every car and van you use for work, as the rules do for one job.
Passenger rate
Carrying colleagues on business? Where your scheme has a passenger rate, Milometry records it with the journey, so the figure is ready if your employer pays it.
Real MPG, not the brochure
Log fill-ups with a pin on the map and Milometry works out what your car actually returns, then prices every journey with it.
Parking, tolls and charges
Attach out-of-pocket costs to a trip with a photo of the receipt. They ride along into your statements.
Friends who owe you fuel
Add passengers to a personal trip and Milometry splits the fuel, so you know exactly what to ask for.
CO₂ per journey
An estimate of what each drive put into the air, from your car’s real economy and fuel type.
Commuting left out
Most tax authorities will not have you claim the daily run to a permanent workplace. Tag home and the office and Milometry keeps those drives out of the figure.
Worth it before you go
Price a job before you take it, or work backwards from a figure you need. It knows which side of a threshold you are on.
Miles you forgot to log
Your odometer readings are a check on the log. When the two disagree, Milometry tells you how far you drove without recording it.
Sharing
Not everything is a tax claim
Plenty of driving is just driving. Milometry costs the journey properly and works out who owes what.
See it in depth
Split the fuel
Add whoever was in the car and Milometry divides the real fuel cost between you, so “chuck me a tenner” becomes an actual number.
Your share, or theirs
Choose whether the driver pays a share too, or whether the passengers cover the fuel between them. Both are one tap.
Send the journey
Share one drive as a PDF with the route, the distance and what it cost. Easier than explaining it.
Group a trip
Collect a holiday or a weekend away under one name and see the whole thing totalled. Miles, fuel and cost.
Know your running costs
Real MPG, cost per mile and what you have spent on fuel, whether or not a penny of it is claimable.
No account to share with
Sharing is a file you send, not a social network you join. Nobody needs the app to read what you send them.
Records
Paperwork that is already done
Statements, claim reports and exports waiting for you, not a spreadsheet you have to build in April.
See it in depthMonthly and yearly statements
Every month and every tax year, itemised with claim values and expenses, ready to preview and share as PDF or CSV.
Share a single journey
One trip as a tidy PDF: route, times, distance, vehicle, claim and receipts. Useful when someone queries one line.
Insights that mean something
Miles by month, business against personal, fuel spend, real economy and progress towards the next threshold.
Everywhere you have driven
Every route you have ever recorded on one map. Oddly satisfying, and handy for spotting a trip you never sorted.
Last year, not just this one
Returns are usually filed after the tax year ends. Pick the year you are filing for and every figure and export follows.
Places you keep going
Drop a pin on the map, set how wide it reaches and add a note. The gate code, where to park, who to ask for.
Your data
Your log stays on your phone
No account, no server of ours, no analytics. Your log goes only where you point it. Place names and maps come from Apple or Google.
See it in depth
Local first, always
Your journeys live in this phone’s storage. There is no server of ours to breach, because we do not run one.
Behind Face ID or your passcode
Ask for Face ID, Touch ID, a fingerprint or your phone’s passcode before the app opens. It covers the screens rather than encrypting anything, and recording carries on underneath.
Sync where you choose
Always-current CSVs into iCloud Drive, Google Drive, a folder on the phone, or your own NAS over WebDAV. Each destination reports whether it worked.
Backups that keep themselves
With auto-export pointed at a cloud drive or your NAS, a full backup goes with it every time, so a lost phone need not mean a lost year.
Ready when you are.
£9.99 once, no account, and no copy of your log on any server of ours.
