The app detects when you start driving and automatically records your route with GPS precision.

Everything you need to maximize deductions
Smart Miles learns your patterns and gets smarter over time — so you spend less time logging and more time earning.
Never forget a trip again

It learns your patterns
Three layers of auto-classification mean most trips sort themselves. The more you drive, the less you have to do.

Set your schedule, forget the rest
Define your work schedule once. Trips during work hours are automatically classified as Business. Trips outside? Personal. No swiping needed.
