MileKeep — Mileage Tracker

Have a question or spotted a bug? Email [email protected] and we’ll get back to you. It helps to include your iPhone model and the MileKeep version (Settings → About).

How does MileKeep work out what I can claim?

MileKeep applies HMRC’s approved mileage rates to your business trips, split by UK tax year (6 April to 5 April) and by vehicle type. That includes the lower rate once a car or van passes 10,000 business miles in a tax year. The Summary tab shows your total and the rates used.

The figure is an estimate to help you fill in your tax return. MileKeep doesn’t give tax advice, so check your figures with HMRC or an accountant before you file.


Do I have to mark every trip as business or personal?

No. Every trip counts as Business unless you switch it to Personal when logging or editing it. Personal trips stay in your log but aren’t included in your claim.


What’s the fastest way to log a trip?

Save journeys you repeat as a saved route and log them in one tap. You can also ask Siri to “Log a trip in MileKeep”, or add the MileKeep widget to your home screen. If you’re catching up, tap Saved routes on the Trips tab, swipe right on a route and tap Log dates to log it on several dates at once.


Is MileKeep free?

Logging trips and seeing your claimable total are free, forever. A single one-time purchase unlocks CSV and PDF export, more than one vehicle, and home-screen widgets. It’s not a subscription: there’s nothing to renew or cancel.


How do I restore my purchase?

Open MileKeep, go to Settings and tap Restore purchase. Make sure you’re signed in to the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to buy the unlock. Refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.


How do I send my mileage to my accountant?

On the Summary tab, tap Export… and choose a CSV spreadsheet or a PDF report for the tax year. Then send it with Mail, Messages or Files.


Does MileKeep track my location?

No. MileKeep never uses GPS and never asks for location access. You enter each trip yourself, and it’s stored only on your iPhone.


Why doesn’t MileKeep sync between devices?

MileKeep is local-first: your trips stay on your iPhone and are never sent to a server. They’re included in your normal iCloud or computer backup, so they come with you when you set up a new iPhone from a backup. You can also save a full copy at any time from Settings → Export all my data.

If you set up a new iPhone without restoring a backup, copy that file to it (AirDrop, Files or iCloud Drive all work), then choose Settings → Restore from export and pick the file. Your vehicles, saved routes and trips come back exactly as they were. If you’ve just installed the app, the vehicle you added during setup is replaced by the ones in your file.

Already logged some trips on the new iPhone? Restore anyway: MileKeep shows what it will add, then adds only what isn’t already there. Nothing on your iPhone is changed or removed, but anything you deleted after making the export comes back.


How do I delete my data?

Go to Settings → Delete all data, or simply delete the app. We don’t hold a copy, so deleted data can’t be recovered — unless you saved a copy with Export all my data first. See our privacy policy for details.
