Why mileage goes unclaimed

The notebook nobody fills in

A mileage log only works if it is written at the time. The glovebox notebook survives about a fortnight, and reconstructing a year of drives from memory in January is guesswork you cannot defend.

Odometer readings you forgot to take

Start and end readings mean remembering twice per journey, every journey. Miss one and the trip is gone — and the trips most easily missed are the short ones that add up.

Apps that keep your movements forever

Automatic tracking usually means handing a company a permanent record of everywhere you have driven. That is a lot of trust for a tax deduction, and most apps never give it back.

How Receni helps

Built-in answers for mileage tracker

Automatic mileage tracking in Receni

Drives recorded on their own

Receni notices when a journey starts and ends and logs the date, the distance, and the addresses at both ends — the four things a mileage claim actually needs.

Adding a receipt manually in Receni

Or type them in yourself

Prefer not to grant location access? Add each trip by hand — date, start and end address, distance, purpose. Same log, same export, no tracking at all.

Receni visual expense dashboards

Business or personal, one swipe

Unclassified trips queue up for review. Swipe right for business, left for personal, add the purpose, and the tax-year total updates as you go.

Receni CSV export for bookkeeping

A log you can actually file

Export the tax year as a CSV with dates, addresses, distances, purposes and classifications — the format an accountant expects and a tax authority accepts.

Receni multi-workspace accounts

Separate cars, separate books

Add each vehicle you drive and keep its mileage apart. Workspaces do the same for a business and a side project, so one claim never bleeds into another.

Receni AI receipt scanning

Fuel receipts in the same place

Parking, fuel and tolls scan into the same app as the drives they belong to, so the whole vehicle picture sits in one export instead of two systems.

How it works

From forgotten journeys to a filed mileage log

01

Turn tracking on

Grant location access once and pick the days and hours you drive for work. Receni stays asleep between journeys and outside that window — or skip this entirely and enter trips by hand.

02

Drive as normal

Receni notices the journey starting and ending on its own and records the date, the distance and both addresses. Nothing to press, nothing to remember at the other end.

03

Swipe to classify

New trips wait in a review queue. Swipe business or personal, add the purpose where it matters, and watch the tax-year total build as you go.

04

Export at year end

Download the mileage log as a CSV — dates, addresses, distances, purposes, classifications — and hand it to your accountant or attach it to your return.

30 days

Then the detailed route is deleted automatically

On-device

Optional mode where the route never leaves your phone

Example scenario
I used to guess my mileage every January and I know I under-claimed every year, because I only remembered the long trips. Now the short ones are in there too — and the bit that sold me is that it stops holding the routes after a month.

FAQ

Mileage tracker questions, answered

With your permission, Receni watches for the start and end of a drive in the background and records the journey — date, time, distance, and the addresses at both ends. You then classify each trip as business or personal. Tracking is off until you switch it on, and you can limit it to chosen days and hours.

Ready when you are
