If you would rather see how it looks on your phone first, go to <a href=\"\/en\/the-app\/\">the app<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Logging journeys without thinking about it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The app follows your location in the background, works out for itself that you have set off, and closes the journey once you have been stationary for three minutes. There is nothing to switch on. If you would rather do it yourself, you can start and stop a journey by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did your phone shut the app down along the way, or was it off? Then the stored location points are cut into separate journeys afterwards. So you do not lose a journey because the operating system tidied up &mdash; the gap gets filled in after the fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where you need to step in, you can do it per journey:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>add a journey by hand, in the past<\/li>\n\n\n<li>split a journey at a point you choose<\/li>\n\n\n<li>merge two consecutive journeys<\/li>\n\n\n<li>update the odometer, a note, a detour distance and the addresses<\/li>\n\n\n<li>mark journeys as claimed, including a whole run at once<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Replaying your journey on the map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every journey sits on the map as a route. Below it runs a speed graph: tap or drag along it and the map moves to that point of the journey, with a marker showing where you were at that moment and the speed you were doing there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And you can play the journey back. One tap on play and the marker drives the route while the speed runs along in the graph &mdash; pausing and picking it up later works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Every journey against the right vehicle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can run several vehicles side by side, with number plate, photo and odometer. In the car a Bluetooth tag makes sure the journey lands against the right vehicle. The home screen shows which car it recognised, or that no tag is in range. For journeys without a tag you decide what happens: set them to &ldquo;Unknown&rdquo;, or do not save them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bicycle, train, bus and tram are vehicle types of their own. You can turn automatic logging off per type &mdash; if you would rather not record your commute by train, you simply switch it off.<a class=\"mj-mpi\" href=\"\/en\/fact-register\/car-bike-train-tram-and-bus\/\" aria-label=\"Explained in MovePedia: Recognising car, bike, train, tram and bus\" title=\"Explained in MovePedia: Recognising car, bike, train, tram and bus\"><span class=\"mj-mpi__i\" aria-hidden=\"true\">i<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And because it is the question that comes after the journey: the app remembers your last parking spot with address and time, ready to open in your own maps app.<a class=\"mj-mpi\" href=\"\/en\/fact-register\/parking-and-navigating-to-your-car\/\" aria-label=\"Explained in MovePedia: Parking spot and navigating to your car\" title=\"Explained in MovePedia: Parking spot and navigating to your car\"><span class=\"mj-mpi__i\" aria-hidden=\"true\">i<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Business, private or commute, without the handiwork<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set your office hours and journeys inside them count as business by default, journeys outside them as private. If it works the other way round for you, set journeys to private by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With your home and work address in the app, MoveJack recognises your commute itself. Journeys to or from a railway station get a category of their own. If a category is wrong, one tap changes it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you drive a company car, the app counts your private miles against a limit you set yourself, and warns you at eighty per cent &mdash; not once you are past it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding one journey among hundreds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The journey list filters by period &mdash; today, yesterday, the last seven days, this month, last month, or a period you enter yourself &mdash; by type of journey (business, private, commute) and by vehicle. There is also a &ldquo;to claim&rdquo; filter: business and commute journeys you have not marked as claimed yet.<a class=\"mj-mpi\" href=\"\/en\/fact-register\/claiming-and-claimed-journeys\/\" aria-label=\"Explained in MovePedia: Claiming and claimed journeys\" title=\"Explained in MovePedia: Claiming and claimed journeys\"><span class=\"mj-mpi__i\" aria-hidden=\"true\">i<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The app remembers what you chose. Look at a journey and go back, and your period and filter are still there, at the same place in the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In visits you search by address, or you pick a saved visit address to see only those visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Addresses, clients and visit hours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saved addresses give your journeys names instead of streets: home, work, visit address, business visit address, general, client and railway station. An address can be marked as a client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is how the app records your hours as well. How long you were parked at an address counts as the length of the visit: arrival, departure and total, filterable per client. Your working hours therefore come out of the same journeys, without you keeping a second list.<a class=\"mj-mpi\" href=\"\/en\/fact-register\/working-hours-and-visits\/\" aria-label=\"Explained in MovePedia: Working hours and visits\" title=\"Explained in MovePedia: Working hours and visits\"><span class=\"mj-mpi__i\" aria-hidden=\"true\">i<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reports for your bookkeeping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You produce a report as a PDF or Excel file, over the period you choose, per vehicle or everything together. It holds the date, departure and arrival time, addresses, distance, duration, category, an odometer the app updates by GPS, note and mileage allowance; actual readings you note yourself where required. Outbound and return can appear as a single line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You save the report or email it straight away. Everything you have ever produced stays findable in the app, so a report from last quarter is not something you have to rebuild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Insight into how you drive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each journey gets a score on your speed, based on the actual speed limit where you were. With tolerance for GPS noise, and <strong>no<\/strong> score when there is too little data &mdash; better nothing than a number that says nothing. Hard acceleration, braking and sharp corners weigh in lightly and can be switched off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over a period you see distance and time, your busiest day, your longest journey, your average miles per day, the split across business, private and commute, and how much you were moving against parked. Alongside that, a billing summary per client: miles and visit hours with amounts at your own rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Asking questions about your own journeys<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On an iPhone with iOS&nbsp;26 and Apple Intelligence you can ask questions about your own journeys in plain language. On an older iPhone it does not appear, and on Android it does not exist.<a class=\"mj-mpi\" href=\"\/en\/fact-register\/iphone-and-android\/\" aria-label=\"Explained in MovePedia: iPhone and Android\" title=\"Explained in MovePedia: iPhone and Android\"><span class=\"mj-mpi__i\" aria-hidden=\"true\">i<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your questions are answered on your phone itself, from your own journeys. The language model runs on the device: it asks the app, and the app works out the answer from your database. The assistant cannot even read your data by itself, and no journey data goes to a server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Questions like: how many business miles did I drive last month, how often was I at that client this year and for how long, what was my longest journey, where was I speeding, how fast was I going on Tuesday at half past three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can also do things: set a journey to business or private, merge a journey with the previous one, give an address a name, produce a report or run off a client billing summary. It answers in the language of the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you see on your home screen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The app tells you in plain language whether logging is working: ready to drive, journey being logged, in the car &mdash; or that background location or Bluetooth is off. No green tick that means nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the journey you see speed, distance, duration, category and CO<sub>2<\/sub>. Below that sits your day, and one tile you choose yourself: your mileage claim, your hours claim or the private counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your data stays with you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your journeys, locations and addresses stay with you, in a database on your own phone. You start without an account, and there are no adverts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So an export is your own safety net: take your records out to Excel or PDF regularly. Because you have to keep a mileage log, that is also the file you archive. An export does not go back into the app \u2014 it is for your bookkeeping, and by default the app reminds you of it on the 1st of every month. To get your trips onto a new phone, create a backup file in the app under My data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also wipe every journey, location and address at once. One action, after a confirmation, and the app shows you it is working on it until it is done.<a class=\"mj-mpi\" href=\"\/en\/fact-register\/deleting-your-data\/\" aria-label=\"Explained in MovePedia: Wiping and deleting data\" title=\"Explained in MovePedia: Wiping and deleting data\"><span class=\"mj-mpi__i\" aria-hidden=\"true\">i<\/span><\/a> That belongs to the starting point: it is your data. It sits on your phone, and you can take it with you or throw it away without filing a request anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The app itself can be locked with Face ID or your fingerprint. Every permission sits in one place, each with the reason it is needed and a button through to the right system setting. The explanation always comes <em>before<\/em> the request. More about that on <a href=\"\/en\/privacy\/\">privacy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Logging and battery on your terms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two settings decide how hard the app works. The distance filter chooses between a finer trace and a longer battery life: finer means more accurate journeys and more consumption, coarser the other way round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And you can switch logging off entirely outside your office hours. Then the app records nothing in your own time &mdash; not just the notifications off, but the logging itself. If that goes too far for you, leave it on and only turn the notifications off outside working hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You get a notification when a journey starts and when it is finished, with the place you stopped and a button to set the journey to private straight away. On the iPhone the journey runs on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island; after parking that switches to your parked car. Outside office hours you can turn the notifications off and carry on logging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What it runs on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>iPhone and Android. There is no separate iPad version.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>The lock screen and the Dynamic Island are iPhone features.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>On Android, battery optimisation for MoveJack has to be off, or the operating system stops logging in the background. The app points you at that setting.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Nine languages: English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Danish and Swedish.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You go through a short wizard: the terms, your first vehicle, your details and the permissions. Then drive. The first three days are free and you do not enter payment details for them. After that you choose monthly, six-monthly or yearly, and you can cancel at any time. What it costs is in the App Store and Google Play, in your own currency &mdash; see also <a href=\"\/en\/pricing\/\">pricing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"\/en\/download\/\">Download the app<\/a> and start with the journey you are making today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A screen-by-screen explanation is in the <a href=\"\/en\/manual\/\">manual<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below is what the app does, function by function.
