Why Most Mileage Trackers Fail You
Your Data on Their Servers
Most mileage apps upload your entire location history to their cloud. Your client addresses, daily routes, and travel patterns — all stored on servers you don't control.
Battery Drain Nightmare
GPS tracking running 24/7 kills your iPhone battery. By noon, you're hunting for a charger instead of closing deals.
Expensive Subscriptions
$10-15/month just to track miles? That's $120-180/year for something your phone should do automatically.
How Magica Tracks Your Miles on iPhone
