Best mileage tracker apps, 2026

If you drive for work, the miles and the money both slip away if you don't capture them the day they happen. Most mileage apps answer this with a background tracker that drains your battery and a subscription that eats the deduction you were trying to claim. MileWay takes the opposite approach: a one-tap start/stop trip log that uses When-In-Use location only, classifies each trip (Business, Medical, and so on) in a tap, and exports a tax-ready report with the correct IRS rate already applied per category. Gigday tackles the other half of the question for rideshare and delivery drivers, netting out fuel, commission, and repairs to show what you actually take home per day and per hour, so you can see which platforms and shifts are worth the gas. Both run entirely on your device with no account and no platform login.

FAQ

Are these mileage apps free or subscription-based? ▾

Neither one charges a recurring subscription. MileWay is a one-time purchase rather than a monthly mileage subscription, and Gigday has no account and no ads. You pay once (if at all) instead of renting access to your own driving records.

Do they work offline and keep my data private? ▾

Yes. Both apps store everything on your device with no account and no cloud. MileWay uses When-In-Use location only, so it isn't running a background tracker that drains your battery, and Gigday needs no platform login to log your shifts. Your trips and earnings stay on your phone.

Can I use these for tax deductions? ▾

MileWay is built for it: classify each trip as Business, Medical, or another category, and it applies the correct IRS standard rate per category and exports a tax-ready report. Gigday focuses on true take-home earnings, netting out fuel, commission, and expenses, so it complements a mileage log rather than replacing your tax export.
