MoveJack records your journeys and your hours automatically, and you decide what you share. This page explains where the app comes from, which problem it solves, what it is good at and when it is not the right choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MoveJack is an app that records your journeys and the time you spend at places automatically. Nothing is fitted to your car and you do not have to start anything by hand. Your data is stored on your own phone. What you share with someone else, you export yourself as an Excel or PDF report. MoveJack is available for iPhone and for Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The difference with traditional systems is the starting point: MoveJack records the mobility of a person<\/strong>, not of a vehicle<\/strong>. See also mileage log<\/a>, working hours<\/a> and reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MoveJack was not built because the world needed another mileage app. The people behind MoveJack and TrackJack have worked with vehicle tracking and mileage logging for nearly twenty years. TrackJack has supplied systems fitted into vehicles since 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The same tension came back again and again. Employers want reliable business information. Employees rightly do not want every private movement on show. In larger organisations, with works councils and privacy officers, this came up time after time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mobility data says a great deal about a person: where someone goes, when they travel, where they work and what their daily pattern looks like. That does not mean anyone has something to hide. It means not every party needs to know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The employee wants to be paid correctly for business miles and hours. The employer wants correct, checkable information. Those are not opposing interests. To satisfy them, the employer does not need to know the employee’s entire private mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In practice it works like this: the app records everything on the employee’s phone, they pick a period and the business journeys and hours that belong to it, and send that report to their employer. The employer receives exactly that information — evidenced, journey by journey, with date, addresses, distance and duration — and not the rest. That is the most important difference from traditional vehicle tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Smartphone technology has matured enough for a different approach. Motion sensors, activity recognition, background location and local storage have come far enough that a phone can record mobility and hours for its owner without a central vehicle tracking system. MoveJack came out of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Only you decide which journeys you share.<\/strong> Your complete journey history stays with you, on your own phone, and MoveJack keeps no central copy of it on its servers. You share when you choose, for example by exporting a report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For handy features the app fetches only the information they need, without your name or an account: while you drive, MoveJack checks the speed limit where you are about every 8 seconds, after each journey it fills in the start and end address, and the map loads as soon as you open it. Your complete journey history is not shared in the process. More about that on privacy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The value is not in more<\/em> admin but in less manual work. What the app does by itself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n That recognition works from what the journey itself gives away. A bike ride shows in the combination of movement and a top speed that fits a bicycle. A train journey in the fact that almost the whole route runs along the rails. A bus journey in stopping systematically at stops. If the classification is wrong, you change it in two taps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recording is the means, insight is the point. MoveJack shows how much time you spend travelling, how many hours you put in at places, how many miles you drive, what that comes to in reimbursement, what your travel pattern looks like, how much CO₂ your journeys cost and what score a journey gets for driving behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both record journeys, but they answer a different question. The difference is what sits at the centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MoveJack does not solve every situation. In these cases a fitted TrackJack system makes more sense:<\/p>\n\n\n\n That is not a caveat in the small print. Anyone who needs one of these things and starts with an app anyway will be disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MoveJack and TrackJack come from the same makers and answer different questions. TrackJack is stronger when the vehicle itself is central: a company car, a van, a fleet with changing drivers. MoveJack is stronger when the person and their own mobility are central.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inside organisations the two sit side by side. A fitted system for the fleet, the app for employees who drive their own car and claim for themselves. They are not competitors but two answers to a different question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MoveJack has an assistant you can ask questions in ordinary language about your own journeys and hours: how many business miles you drove last month, when you last visited a client, which journey was the longest. It answers from the data on your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your questions are answered on your own iPhone, from your own journey data: the language model runs on the device itself, so questions and journey data do not go to a server to be answered. The assistant is in the iPhone app from version 2.0.47 and works on an iPhone 15 Pro or newer with iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence. It is not available on Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That is the direction this principle is heading: from looking back at your own mobility to advice based on your own data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An app that records your journeys and your hours automatically on your own phone, where you decide what you share.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n A fitted system records the vehicle and gives whoever manages it direct visibility. MoveJack records the mobility of a person, stores it on the device and lets the user decide which part they share.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n Because you send it yourself. You pick a period and the journeys that belong to it, and export that as an Excel or PDF report. Your employer receives that report and not your other journeys.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n Because the privacy question kept coming back across nearly twenty years of mileage logging, and smartphone technology now allows a different approach: recording for the user, without a central vehicle tracking system.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n Car, bike, train and bus. The app works it out from the course of the journey itself, and you can always change the classification yourself.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n When registration of the vehicle has to be guaranteed regardless of driver or phone, when you need to track a vehicle live, when many drivers use the same vehicle and the vehicle data is the record, or when the equipment has to meet certification requirements. A fitted system suits those better.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Last updated: 2 September 2026, when MoveJack arrived in the Google Play Store.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MoveJack records your journeys and your hours automatically, and you decide what you share.
