Odie, the mileage tracker that knows your car
An iPhone mileage tracker that uses a car’s Bluetooth connection and motion confirmation to log trips, classify them as Work or Personal, and assemble CRA or IRS tax reports.
Field notes
The described workflow begins with the car’s own hands-free Bluetooth identity, then uses motion sensing to distinguish driving from incidental movement. After a trip ends, the driver classifies it from the lock screen, while repeated routes can produce suggestions that are not applied automatically. The tax workflow includes opening and closing odometer readings, business-use calculations, receipt-backed expenses, CSV export, and a PDF organized around CRA logbook requirements.
