Get started with MileLedger on phone
Follow these steps to install MileLedger, complete the onboarding flow, add your first vehicle, and record your first drive — all from your phone.
Automatic mileage tracking
Automatic tracking records drives in the background without you touching your phone. It requires Always location access and works best with Motion & Fitness access enabled. Certain conditions—force-quit, Low Power Mode, and Airplane Mode—will prevent background tracking.
How to add an expense
Create a new expense in MileLedger by tapping the add button, filling in the required fields, and saving. Free accounts can store up to 10 expenses total; Premium accounts are unlimited.
How to scan a receipt
MileLedger's document scanner uses your phone camera and on-device Vision OCR to capture a receipt. It extracts the merchant name and total amount automatically. Always review the results before saving.
Free vs Premium — what's included
MileLedger is free to download and use for mileage tracking. The free tier includes unlimited drive recording and cloud sync. Expenses are capped at 10 on the free tier. Premium removes the expense cap and unlocks PDF reports and advanced export presets.
Unable to sign in to MileLedger
MileLedger uses Google Sign-In exclusively for authentication. If the sign-in flow fails to complete, the cause is almost always a network issue, a Google account selection error, or an iOS permission problem. This guide walks through every common fix.
