Trip Logbook - The Mileage Tracker App with CarPlay support

Trip Logbook is a CarPlay‑compatible mileage tracker app that lets you start, monitor, and end trips directly on your car’s screen — without handling your iPhone while driving.

Use the Trip Logbook CarPlay app to keep mileage accurate, hands‑free, and aligned with your odometer, so every business mile is recorded when it matters.

How Trip Logbook works with CarPlay

Trip Logbook is designed so you can manage mileage tracking from the CarPlay interface, while keeping odometer readings aligned using Siri on your iPhone.

1. Start mileage tracking on CarPlay

Open the Trip Logbook app on your vehicle’s CarPlay console.

On the Start a Trip screen, tap your vehicle to begin mileage tracking.

From that point, Trip Logbook tracks your trip while you drive — no need to handle your iPhone.

2. Monitor trips from the Trip In Progress screen

On the Trip In Progress screen, you can see key details at a glance:

  • Starting odometer and location
  • Current trip status and distance traveled
  • Current odometer reading
  • Active vehicle

When you’re done, tap END TRIP to log the trip.


In another car? No problem. Tap CHANGE VEHICLE to instantly re-assign trip tracking to the correct car.

Keep your odometer aligned using Siri voice command

While Trip Logbook mileage tracking with CarPlay is perfect for starting, monitoring and ending trips, odometer alignment happens via Siri voice command on your iPhone — so you can keep your mileage history anchored to real odometer readings.

Hands‑free odometer updates

Activate the Update Odometer Siri voice command in the Trip Logbook main menu on your iPhone. This is a one‑time setup.

After that, you can simply say "Hey Siri, Update ODO" to align the odometer reading in Trip Logbook with your vehicle’s current odometer.

On arrival, verify and align

When you arrive, do a quick check of your vehicle’s odometer. If the value needs adjustment, use the Siri command to bring Trip Logbook back into sync.

This keeps your mileage log accurate over time — essential for audits and tax claims.

Automate CarPlay mileage tracking

Trip Logbook supports CarPlay‑based mileage tracking automations so you can minimize manual steps and still keep a complete mileage history.

CarPlay Automations

Use CarPlay events to control when trips start and end:

  • Start mileage tracking when your iPhone connects to CarPlay
  • End mileage tracking when your iPhone disconnects from CarPlay

This reduces the chance of forgetting to start or end a trip when you get in or out of the car.

Zero Touch Logging

With Trip Logbook’s Zero Touch Logging, ALL trip details can be captured instantly and accurately when your automations are configured.

CarPlay Automations and Zero Touch Logging means fewer missing trips, fewer gaps, and more complete records when it’s time to claim your mileage.

Driving with your phone vs driving with CarPlay and Siri

You can try to manage mileage tracking by handling your phone at the start and end of every trip, but it’s easy to forget and it’s not ideal for safety. CarPlay and Siri keep mileage tracking close to where your attention already is — the dashboard and the road.

Managing trips on your phone

  • Easy to forget to start or end trips
  • Temptation to handle your phone while driving
  • Harder to see current trip status while on the road
  • More steps to keep odometer readings aligned

Trip Logbook with CarPlay and Siri

  • Start trips from the CarPlay Start a Trip screen
  • See distance, odometer, and vehicle at a glance
  • End trips directly on your CarPlay dashboard
  • Use Siri – “Hey Siri, Update ODO” – for odometer alignment
