DriveMind
Your drives,
recorded automatically.
Start driving and DriveMind records the trip on its own. You never open the app. When you park, the trip ends and saves itself — route, distance, speed and the place you drove to already filled in.
Free to use. iPhone, iOS 17.6 or later.

It starts on its own
AutoStart™ notices you are driving and begins recording without a single tap. Arrive, and the trip closes itself.
It knows where you went
DriveMind learns the places you visit and labels drives Home → Office instead of a pair of coordinates. Round trips are grouped.
It tells you something
DriveScore™, a heat map of every mile you have driven, and tax-ready mileage reports your accountant will accept.
Automatic by default
The app you do not have to remember to open.
Most mileage apps depend on you pressing start. That is the part people forget, and a forgotten drive is a deduction you cannot claim.
- AutoStart™ — detects that you have started driving and records without a tap.
- DriveMind Intelligence™ — on-device machine learning tags each drive as Commute, Errand, Leisure and more.
- Automatic vehicle detection — connect to your car's CarPlay or Bluetooth and DriveMind stamps the trip with the right vehicle.
- Siri & Shortcuts — "Hey Siri, start a trip."

A year of driving, ready for your accountant.
At the IRS standard rate for the year, exported as PDF or CSV.
- Purpose rules — your weekday commute logs itself as Business.
- Per-vehicle mileage — filter and report by car.
- Custom tags — label trips your way, then filter by them.

Know how you drive
Every mile you have ever driven, on one map.
Your whole history, coloured by speed, with pins on your top speed and hardest braking.

- Trip Replay — scrub a drive like video.
- Advanced stats — speed variance, idle time, peak G-forces, carbon.

And rather more than that.
DriveMind is the only app on your phone that has to be running while you drive. It may as well earn its place.
Dash Cam
Your iPhone, recording the road. No extra hardware.

Private by design
Your driving history is nobody else's business.
Every drive is recorded and analyzed on your device. Trips, places and fuel logs back up to your own iCloud — there is no DriveMind server holding a copy.
- Detection, tagging, DriveScore™ and sound recognition run on-device.
- Your coordinates never go to an analytics service.
Export drives
Every drive as a JSON file you can keep or move.

Does it really record without me opening the app?
Yes. That is the whole point of AutoStart™. It needs two permissions to do it — Location set to Always, and Motion & Fitness — and the app asks for both during setup and explains why at the time.
What does it do to my battery?
DriveMind sits in a low-power standby between drives and only raises GPS accuracy once it believes you are actually driving. It is not streaming your location continuously.
Are my trips uploaded anywhere?
No. Trips are recorded, analyzed and stored on your iPhone. Backup goes to your own iCloud account, which we cannot read. There is no DriveMind server holding your driving history.
Can I use it for tax deductions?
DriveMind produces a mileage report at the IRS standard rate for the year in question, split by business, personal and custom purposes, exportable as PDF or CSV. Whether a given drive is deductible is between you and your accountant.
Do I need an account?
No. DriveMind works fully signed out, and everything on this page works without one. If your version has a Settings ▸ Account row, it can be deleted from there at any time.
Take control of your driving history.
Free on the App Store. Set it up once and stop thinking about it.
