1.0.0
LatestThe first release
OdoKeep is on the App Store. Everything below works today, on iPhone, and works with no connection at all.
The logbook
- Nine kinds of record: fill-ups, servicing, cleaning, tolls, road tax, insurance, invoices, notes and tyre pressures. A fill-up works out its own consumption and its cost per distance from the odometer reading you gave it.
- Petrol, diesel, electric charging, LPG and AdBlue all go in as energy, so a plug and a pump end up in the same history.
- A garage of cars, motorcycles and vans, with brand and model badges, plates formatted for the country that issued them, your own labels and colours, and search by brand, model or plate.
- Tyre pressures taken wheel by wheel on a diagram of the vehicle, with seasons, axles and sets.
The dates you would rather not have to remember
- Insurance, inspection and road tax, each counting down, each with a reminder scheduled on the device thirty days out, seven days out and on the day itself.
- Those reminders are free on every plan and will stay that way. A missed inspection costs a fine, and charging for the warning would be charging for your own risk.
- A maintenance plan that works out what the vehicle needs next from three sources, in falling order of confidence: an interval you set, a job you logged plus the catalogue interval, and a job never logged once the app has been watching for longer than the interval. Free as well, because it is your own records read back to you. What Plus adds is the app telling you before it falls due, without anyone opening anything.
- Snooze a service, or drop it for good.
Where the money went
- Cost per kilometre or mile, cost per month, average consumption, spending by category, a monthly chart you can scrub through, a consumption trend, and the costs that stand out.
- Over fifty currencies, each cost converted at the rate of the day it happened rather than at today rate, so a tank bought abroad two years ago still reads as what it cost.
- Fuel prices near you, sorted by price, by distance, or by what filling the tank would come to. Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Austria, from the official feed each country publishes, free rather than part of Plus. It also says what each source cannot do: Austrian law publishes only the five cheapest stations per district, the Italian feed updates once a day at 08:00, and the Portuguese one covers the mainland.
Two people, one car
- Invite somebody by email as viewer, driver or manager, and change or revoke a role whenever you like.
- Being invited is free. A borrowed vehicle never counts against your own limit, and everything you logged stays with the owner if you leave.
Yours, and on your phone
- It works with no signal. Records are written on the device, encrypted, and queued for sync with backoff until they land.
- Face ID or Touch ID lock.
- Export everything to CSV or JSON, and bring it back.
- A PDF of the maintenance history, and one of a comparison between vehicles, both generated on the phone.
- Delete the account and everything in it, from inside the app.
Siri, Spotlight and Shortcuts
Log a fill-up, update the odometer, ask what the odometer reads, ask what the car needs next, ask what you have spent this month, or put a service off. By voice, or from the Shortcuts app.
Ten markets, not one translation
English for the United States, Britain and Australia, Portuguese for Portugal and Brazil, Spanish for Spain and Mexico, and then German, Italian and French. Each one uses the words its own market uses for the paperwork, and its own units: miles or kilometres, litres or gallons, imperial or US gallons for economy, bar or psi.
