Quick answers
The trip detection notification didn't fire.
Three things to check:
- iOS Settings → MileTally → Motion & Fitness is on.
- iOS Settings → Notifications → MileTally is allowed.
- The app debounces detection for ~30 seconds at the start of a drive to avoid false positives, so very short trips may not trigger.
How do I export trips for my taxes?
Reports tab → pick a date range → choose CSV or PDF. The file goes through the iOS share sheet, so you can email it, save to Files, or hand it to your accountant directly. PDF export is part of MileTally Pro.
Where is my trip data stored?
On this device only, in a local SwiftData database. Settings → Privacy in the app explains exactly what's stored and what isn't.
Can I sync between my iPhone and iPad?
Not in v1. MileTally is intentionally local-only. If we ever add sync, it will be opt-in CloudKit — your data, your iCloud account, no MileTally servers in the middle.

How do I restore my purchase on a new device?
Settings → About → Restore Purchase. As long as you're signed into the same Apple ID, your Pro entitlement comes back.
