Smart Miles

Mileage tracking for tax deductions

Smart Miles is a mileage tracker app for drivers who need a record of business trips for taxes or reimbursement. It automatically detects drives, records routes in the background, and turns them into a mileage log with the details needed for reporting.

The product is built around a simple workflow: drive, classify trips as business or personal, and export a tax-ready report when needed. It supports manual trip entry, recurring-route classification, and a web dashboard for reviewing and exporting trips from a browser.

Everything the app does for mileage tracking

Automatic trip tracking

The app detects when you start driving and records the route automatically in the background, so you do not need to start and stop trips manually.

Road-level route recording

Trips are captured as road-level routes with GPS-based start and end addresses rather than straight lines between two points.

Smart classification

Trips can be sorted with swipe gestures, or by using automatic rules based on your work hours and frequent routes.

Manual trip entry

When a drive is missed, you can add it manually with trip details and let the app calculate the distance.

Tax-ready exports

Export tax-ready CSV files with date, start and end address, purpose, miles, and value for accounting or filing.

Web dashboard

The app includes a browser-based dashboard for viewing, editing, filtering, and exporting trips.

Common ways people use Smart Miles

  • Real estate agents

    Agents who drive between showings, open houses, inspections, and client meetings can keep a mileage log without starting and stopping a timer for each trip.

  • Sales reps

    Outside sales reps can track client visits, territory drives, conferences, and other road time, then export reports for reimbursement or tax records.

  • Rideshare and delivery driving

    Rideshare and delivery drivers can log many short trips automatically and review the results later instead of reconstructing drives from memory.

  • Contractors and small businesses

    Contractors, freelancers, and small business owners can record job-site visits, supply runs, and client meetings as they happen.

  • Missing-trip recovery

    Users who forget an occasional drive can add it manually and still keep the mileage log complete for the year.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Automatic tracking reduces the need to log drives manually.
  • Trips can be classified with swipe gestures or automated rules based on work hours and frequent routes.
  • Exports include the fields needed for mileage reporting, which makes the logs usable for tax preparation.
  • A web dashboard lets users review and manage trips on a larger screen.
  • Manual trip entry is available for drives that were not captured automatically.

Cons

  • The pricing page at `/pricing` returns a 404, so the site does not provide a public pricing page there.
  • The source does not show app integrations beyond CSV export and browser access.

FAQ

How does automatic trip tracking work?

Smart Miles uses your phone’s motion sensors and GPS to detect when you start driving. It records the route in the background, then processes the trip with start and end addresses, distance, and a map.

Is it ready for tax reporting?

Yes. The app captures the fields needed for mileage deductions, including date, destination, business purpose, and miles driven, and it can export a CSV with those fields for an accountant or tax software.

Can I add trips I forgot to track?

Yes. You can tap the plus button to add a trip manually with start and end locations, date, time, and purpose, and the app calculates the driving distance automatically.

Is there a web dashboard?

Every Smart Miles account includes a web dashboard where you can view, edit, filter, and export trips from a browser.

What mileage rates does it use?

Smart Miles includes the official IRS standard mileage rates, updated yearly, and also supports custom rates if an employer reimburses at a different amount.
