Welcome
Get started with TruMile.
Five minutes of setup. Then your log writes itself. Every drive captured at the moment it happens, classified automatically, and ready for your accountant at year end.
What you're signing up for
A mileage log holds up under audit when it was created at the time of the drive, not assembled from memory at year end. TruMile is built around that single rule. Every trip gets a timestamp the moment it begins. Every distance is computed from the actual GPS track. Every classification is recorded with its source so the chain back to the original drive is intact.
That is what your accountant wants. That is what the IRS, CRA, HMRC, and ATO want. That is what TruMile gives you on the first drive, automatically, with no daily prompts.
Setup in five steps
Allow location access (Always)
TruMile only auto-detects drives if location is set to Always. While Using only fires when the app is open, which means most drives are missed. Always does not mean continuous high-accuracy GPS. TruMile uses Apple's lowest-power location APIs by default and only escalates during a confirmed drive. Typical background battery cost is 3-5 percent per day.
Allow Motion & Fitness
Motion access lets TruMile tell driving apart from walking, biking, and being a passenger. The data stays on-device. It is used to filter out non-drive movement so your log does not fill with noise.
Pick your country and rate
TruMile applies the right per-mile or per-kilometre rate based on your country. United States: 72.5 cents per mile (IRS Notice 2026-10). Canada: 73 cents per kilometre tier 1, 67 cents tier 2 (CRA 2026). United Kingdom: 45p per mile to 10,000 miles, 25p above (HMRC AMAP). Australia: cents-per-km method (ATO). Switching countries updates every existing trip.
(Optional) Import from your old tracker
TruMile reads CSV exports from MileIQ, Everlance, Stride, and Driversnote. Your historical trips, dates, distances, classifications, and notes come over intact.
Take your first drive
Start driving. TruMile recognizes the trip within 30 to 60 seconds, timestamps it at the moment it begins, and drops it into your inbox when you stop. You do not have to do anything during the drive. The whole point is the log writes itself.
Classification: one tap, often zero taps
When a trip ends, TruMile decides whether it was business or personal using a three-tier cascade: a Pro on-device model, your saved routes, and pattern learning over repeat drives. Anything ambiguous goes to manual review. You can override any classification at any time. Re-classification is unlimited.
Common pattern: by week two, most regular trips classify themselves. The home-to-office commute, the weekly client visit, the recurring delivery zones. New trips that look like old ones inherit the old classification. Trips that look like nothing on file go to review.
Year end: one tap, IRS-ready
One tap turns your log into a CSV or PDF you can hand to your accountant or paste into Schedule C, line 9. Canadian self-employed filers get T2125 totals. UK sole traders get Self Assessment totals. Australian filers get the cents-per-km computation. Multi-jurisdiction users (cross-border drivers, expats) get the right rate applied per trip based on the country setting at the time of the drive.
Three things we will not do
Contemporaneous-by-construction
Every trip is timestamped at the moment it begins. Nothing is reconstructed at year end. Your log is what holds up under audit because it was created at the time of the drive.
On-device first
Your trips live on your iPhone and in your private iCloud database. There is no TruMile server holding your data. No training on your trips. No analytics tied to your identity.
Stable pricing
$7.99 per month or $59.99 per year. 40 auto-detected trips per month free, every month. We publish our price on our App Store page and do not change it without notice.
If you are a W-2 employee
The federal mileage deduction for W-2 employees was permanently eliminated by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in 2025. TruMile is built for self-employed, 1099, gig, and small-business filers. If your employer requires you to drive for work and does not reimburse you, look up your state's reimbursement statute. California (Labor Code §2802), Illinois (820 ILCS 115/9.5), Massachusetts, and several other states require employer reimbursement. The state pages have the specifics.
