Features
Everything Caliper does.
The mileage log, the service record, what the car costs, and everything around them. One list, nothing left out, so you can check whether Caliper does the thing you came for.
Free and Pro
- If it's manual, or for one car and one business, it's free.
- If it's automation, AI, tax-ready output, or more than one car or business, it's Pro. Those are marked Pro below.
- One Pro, one price. See pricing.
Drives and mileage
Automatic trip detection ProTrips start and stop on their own. Motion, location, speed, Bluetooth and CarPlay are checked against each other, and Caliper learns which car your phone is in.
Live trip trackingStart a trip yourself and watch speed, distance and time on a gauge cluster, full screen if you like. A trip survives the app being closed.
Manual tripsType in a drive after the fact, with date, distance, purpose and a note.
Live Activity and Dynamic Island ProThe drive in progress on your Lock Screen, with pause and stop.
Trip review inbox ProNew drives wait in one place. Mark them business or personal one at a time, or in bulk, with undo.
Passenger mode ProPause tracking when someone else is driving.
Missed-drive suggestionsIf a drive slipped through, Caliper offers it back with the places and the distance filled in. Add it, or merge it into a trip that was cut short.
Tracking schedule ProSet the hours automatic tracking runs, so weekends stay yours.
Route editing and mergingFix a start or an end, join two trips into one, and get distance measured along the road.

Car link
A small Bluetooth adapter in the port under your dash, and Caliper reads the car's own numbers. What to buy, and what your car shares.
Setup and the first readingA one-minute connection test shows exactly what your car shares, then takes the first reading: odometer, fuel and battery.
A reading after every drive ProEach auto-tracked trip ends with the odometer from the car itself, so mileage and reminders match the dash.
Readings on every trip ProFuel level, battery, engine temperature and the check-engine light, saved with the drive.
Check engine, explained ProFault codes read from the car with a plain-English description, and a history of what came and went.
Drive playback and fuel economy ProScrub back through a drive: revs, speed, throttle and gear against the map, and what the drive cost in fuel.
