About FlatMile

Work miles deserve a simpler log.

Updated 6 October 2026

FlatMile is an independent iPhone mileage log for people who drive as part of their own business. Questions or corrections are welcome at hello@flatmile.com.

A small job, done thoughtfully

A client visit, a supply run, the journey back. The work is already enough to remember. FlatMile helps you record the drive, classify it as business or personal, add its purpose and export your records when you need them.

Automatic logging is free, with no trip caps, and so is manual logging. Drives logged without a subscription are kept with their distance, route and value locked; an annual subscription unlocks every one of them at once and adds PDF and CSV reports. Drives you could already see stay open after a subscription ends, so your mileage history remains useful even if your needs change.

Your drives stay on your iPhone

There is no separate FlatMile account. We do not operate a cloud copy or sync service for your trip history. Turn on the iCloud Drive backup in the app, or keep regular exports somewhere you control: we cannot recover your drives for you. Device-level iCloud backup, if you enable it, is Apple’s service.

This does not mean the app has no network services. Apple and RevenueCat handle purchases and subscription status. When Lock Screen Live Activities are on, a small relay asks Apple to start the card without receiving your route, coordinates or distance. On a new install, usage analytics starts on for US, Canadian and UK App Store accounts and stays off until you accept elsewhere. Existing choices are kept. You can turn it off in Settings → Privacy. The privacy page explains each service and your choices.

Useful before you download

The mileage log template, 2026 US mileage calculator and MileIQ export guide are open to everyone. There is no email form to get through.

How we write our guides

We link changing prices, tax rates and competitor claims to dated sources. We disclose that we make a competing app on comparison pages. Examples are labelled when the trips are synthetic, and we do not present them as customer results. These guides explain published information; they are not personal tax advice.

Automatic logging and manual logging are free, with no trip caps. A subscription unlocks every drive’s distance, route and mileage value, plus PDF and CSV reports. Eligible new subscribers can try it free for 14 days; terms appear in the App Store.
