MilometryTutorialsLearn it once,
Learn it once,
then forget about it.
Milometry needs only a few minutes of setup, and a few more spent on these makes the difference between a mileage log you keep and one you abandon in March.
Start here
New to Milometry? Work through these in order, from installing the app to your first recorded drive.
Recording drives
How drives get recorded, and what to do when one is missed.
- Make sure Android records your drivesThe phone settings that quietly stop automatic recording on Android, and how to check each one.
- Cars and vehiclesAdd each car you drive, choose your usual one, and make sure every drive lands on the right car.
- Milometry on CarPlayWhat the CarPlay screen shows, how recording starts and stops there, and where the business or personal question goes.
- Siri, Shortcuts and widgetsStart and stop trips, and switch on quiet mode, without opening the app: by voice, from the Home Screen or from a long press on the icon.
- Trains, buses and quiet modeWhat Milometry does when you are moving but not driving, and how to tell it in advance.
- Fixing missed drivesHow Milometry spots a drive it did not record, and how to add it back so your log is complete.
- Adding a trip by handAdd a drive the app did not record, from the Trips tab, a missed mileage card or a trip's return journey.
- Working hours and travel hoursThe "probably business" hint for weekday drives, and telling Milometry when you normally drive so everything else is recorded quietly.
- Battery and reliable recordingWhat uses battery and when, what the Battery page shows, and the phone settings that keep automatic recording working.
- Fine-tuning how trips start and stopThe Tracking settings that decide what counts as a drive, where one can start, when it ends and how still is still, and which one to change when walks get recorded or drives go missing.
Sorting trips
Business or personal, places that sort themselves, and fixing a trip.
- Sort a week of driving in under a minuteSwipe drives into business or personal, let tagged places do the sorting for you, and clear a backlog in one go.
- Home, Workplace and your saved placesSave the places you drive to, tag Home and Workplace, and let Milometry leave ordinary commuting out of your claim.
- Edit, merge, split and restore tripsFix a trip that recorded badly: trim the ends, split two errands apart, join a drive broken by a stop, pair a there-and-back, and get a binned trip back.
- Passengers and splitting fuel costsRecord who was in the car, see the 5p passenger payment only where an employer pays it, and share the fuel with friends without mistaking it for a claim.
- Trip groups, and charging a client for the milesPut a job, a client or a trip away into one group, read its totals, and work out what to bill at your own rate.
- There-and-back tripsPair the drive out with the drive home, so each one shows the other and the round trip, without merging anything.
Claims and costs
Turning the log into a claim, and keeping fuel and costs honest.
- Turn a year of driving into a claimHow the two UK rates work, what the figure in the app means, and which export to send.
- Close the year with the Year end screenSort the stragglers, check for gaps, read your mileage figure, export the claim PDF and CSV, and mark the year as submitted.
- Monthly statements for invoices and expensesOpen a month's statement, check the figures, and share it as a PDF, a CSV or an image.
- Logging a fill-upThe fill-up screen field by field, and why two full tanks with odometer readings are what turn your receipts into a real MPG.
- Get your real MPG, and use itLog a fill-up in a few seconds, read the economy card, and let your measured MPG price every trip.
- Add parking, tolls and receipts to a tripRecord what a journey cost you on top of the miles, attach the receipt photo, and find it again in your statements and exports.
- Rates: your country, a custom rate, and your employerPick the scheme your claim is worked out under, set your own rate if you need to, and tell Milometry what your employer already pays.
Your data
Bringing a log in, keeping a copy, and moving to a new phone.
- Bring your history from another appImport trips from a spreadsheet or another mileage app's CSV, match the columns, and let Milometry skip the ones it already has.
- Backups and auto-exportKeep a copy of your log somewhere you trust: one-off exports, a full backup file with an optional passphrase, and automatic copies to a folder or network drive.
- Moving to a new phoneTake your trips with you: back up on the old phone, restore on the new one, then re-enter the passwords that stay behind.
- Storage, and cleaning up old recordsSee what Milometry is using on your phone, free up space without changing a figure, and delete whole months when you really mean to.
Privacy and settings
Locking the app, notifications, and starting again.
- App lock and privacyLock Milometry behind Face ID, Touch ID, a fingerprint or your passcode, and know exactly what the lock hides and what it does not.
- Reset and start againDelete what Milometry holds on your phone and start from scratch, and know which copies Reset cannot reach.
- Notifications and remindersWhich notifications Milometry sends, which ones are on to start with, and how it holds its questions until you have parked.
