11 transport modes, detected for you
Walks, runs, cycles, drives, buses, trains, metros, ferries and more. Miles works out how you travelled and files each trip under the right mode, all on your phone.
Miles for iPhone
The private, automatic travel log.
Miles remembers every journey. Every walk, drive, train and flight. Automatically, privately, on your iPhone.
- 11 transport modes, flights included
- Sips battery: built to run in the background all day
- No account, no server, no login

Automatic tracking
Set it up once. It remembers everything.
Open Miles, grant it location and motion access, and put your phone away. From then on, every trip logs itself.
Yes, even flights
iOS suspends apps mid-flight, so most trackers simply miss planes. Miles catches them anyway, using a bundled database of 4,045 airports and your phone's barometer.
Light on battery
Miles is built to sip battery. You should forget it is running until you open it.
Live Activity, widgets and Siri
Watch a trip unfold as a Live Activity on your Lock Screen, keep your stats on a widget, and ask Siri about your travels.
Easy corrections
Detection is very good, not psychic. When Miles gets a mode wrong, fix it in a couple of taps and your history stays accurate.
Manual trips and saved locations
Add trips the app could not see, and name the places you care about so your log reads like a story, not a spreadsheet.
Privacy
Private by architecture, not by promise.
Your trip history lives in a local database on your iPhone. There is no Miles account, no login, and no Miles server holding your data. We could not read your travel history even if we wanted to, because it never reaches us.
- Private Areas: draw a zone around home or work, and trip start and end points inside it are left out of exports, shared images and iPhone search
- Crash reports are coordinate blind by design: they can never contain a location
- Export everything as CSV, free for everyone
- Delete all your data in two taps
- Raw GPS points are pruned automatically after 7 days
The one honest asterisk: to name a station or fetch the weather, Miles asks open data services (OpenStreetMap, Open-Meteo and friends) about a coordinate, and to name a flight it asks an open flight registry about one airport and time window. Those are lookups, not uploads, and downloading an offline map pack trims even those. Anonymous crash reports and usage statistics help us fix bugs; they never include your coordinates or places.

Maps and insight cards
See where you went on a map, and let insight cards surface the patterns: distances, streaks, habits and how your months compare.
CO2 estimates you can cite
Every trip carries a carbon estimate based on the UK DEFRA 2024 conversion factors, so comparing a train to a flight is grounded in published numbers.
Milestones from real journeys
Your lifetime distance unlocks milestones named after real routes: the Camino de Santiago, Route 66, the Trans-Siberian and more.

Built independently
Designed and built in France by a solo developer.
Miles is an indie app focused on thoughtful tracking, clear design and privacy that actually means something. No growth-hacker sludge. No creepy dashboards. Just a useful tool for understanding how you move.
That also means the product improves through real feedback. If something feels off, say so.
