Create a MileLedger account
MileLedger uses Google Sign-In for authentication — there are no separate usernames or passwords to create. You can sign in from the phone app or directly in the web app.
Prerequisites
- phone with MileLedger installed (for iOS sign-up).
- A Google account (Gmail or Google Workspace).
- An internet connection.
How accounts work in MileLedger
MileLedger does not have its own registration system. Instead, it uses Google Sign-In as the sole authentication method. When you sign in with Google for the first time, MileLedger automatically creates your account — no email verification step, no password to set, and no separate profile form to complete.
Your Google account identity (display name and email address) is used to identify your MileLedger workspace. All synced drives and expenses are stored under that Google account.
Sign up on phone
1. Open MileLedger on your phone.
2. Tap More in the tab bar, then tap Sign In.
3. Tap Continue with Google.
4. Select your Google account from the list, or enter your Google email address and password if prompted.
5. Grant the requested permissions. MileLedger requests only the minimum required to identify you and sync your data.
6. You are now signed in. MileLedger creates your account in the background — no further steps are needed.
Sign up via the web app
1. Open mileledger.app/app in a browser.
2. Click Sign in with Google.
3. Select your Google account and grant the requested permissions.
4. Your account is created on first sign-in. You can immediately browse any drives or expenses that were synced from your phone.
Important notes
- You can use MileLedger for drive tracking without signing in. Google Sign-In is required only to sync data, access the web app, and log expenses.
- MileLedger supports email/password and Google Sign-In. Apple ID, Facebook, and other providers are not available.
- If you share a Google account with someone else, their MileLedger data would be mixed with yours. Use separate Google accounts for separate workspaces.
Common problems
The Google sign-in sheet does not appear.
Ensure your phone is connected to the internet. Close and reopen MileLedger, then try again. If the issue persists, go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Google on your phone and confirm that MileLedger has permission to use your Google account.
I signed in but my previous drives are not showing.
Check that you signed in with the same Google account you used before. If you used a different account, sign out from More → Account and sign in again with the correct Google account.
