What is Driversnote?
Driversnote automatically records your drives and builds trip logs you can trust. It detects starts and stops, lets you categorize trips (business, personal, medical, charity), and keeps your data synced so you can tidy up entries, add notes, and prepare your records without spreadsheets.
How Driversnote works
The app uses your phone’s GPS to capture distance and routes with minimal input. You can review each drive, correct anything that looks off, and export CSV or PDF reports for reimbursement or tax filing. Saved locations and simple classification help you keep a consistent, audit-friendly log across weeks and months.
Taxes, free plans, and comparisons
If you track mileage for deductions or reimbursements, start with our guide to a mileage tracker for taxes to see what details matter in your reports. Prefer to try before paying? You can begin with mileage tracking for free to test the workflow and limits. Still deciding between apps? Check our roundup of the best mileage tracking apps to compare automation, reporting, and ease of use.
FAQ
How does Driversnote detect my trips?
Driversnote runs in the background on iOS and Android, using GPS and motion sensors to automatically log each drive. If you use iBeacon devices, it can also start and stop tracking based on proximity to your vehicle for even more precise capture.
Can I classify and customize my trip entries?
Yes. After each trip is recorded, you can assign it to categories like Business or Personal, add notes or client names, and save frequently visited locations. Over time, Driversnote learns your patterns and begins auto-classifying recurring routes.
How do I export my mileage logs?
You can generate detailed CSV or PDF reports that meet IRS requirements directly from the mileage tracker for taxes or web dashboard. These reports can be downloaded, emailed, or integrated with accounting platforms for easy reimbursement or tax preparation.
Is Driversnote free?
Yes, Driversnote offers basic features and limited automatic mileage tracking for free. For unlimited trips and full reports, you’ll need to upgrade. Read our Stride review to learn about a different free option.
