How DriveNote evolved from a driving timer into a mileage tracker

DriveNote started as a driving-time tracker, then shifted toward tax-ready mileage logging.

DriveNote originally started as a lightweight app to track driving time and basic trip statistics.

After early testing, it became clear that time alone was not enough for people who drive for work.

The product shifted toward:

  • automatic mileage tracking
  • business trip classification
  • tax-ready exports
  • cleaner yearly summaries

The current focus is making trip logging feel invisible in daily use.
