Hey Product Hunt π
I'm Alex, the maker of Smart Miles, and this is a tool I built because I needed it.
If you drive for work β whether you're self-employed, a real-estate agent, a delivery driver, or just have a side hustle β the IRS lets you deduct every business mile you drive. For most people, that's thousands of dollars a year. But the apps that track those miles for you are expensive, ad-heavy, or feel like they haven't been touched since 2015.
Smart Miles is my take on what an automatic mileage tracker should feel like in 2026:
- Truly automatic: drive away and we detect the trip, snap it to the road, and save it. You don't have to remember to start anything.
- One-swipe classification: Business or Personal in a single gesture. Or set work hours + frequent trips and we'll classify them for you.
- A real end-of-year estimate: projects your full-year deduction from your last 90 days of driving, so you know what you're on track for before tax season.
- Clean CSV exports for your accountant or your tax software.
- 40 free trips per month, forever. No ads. No trial cliffs.
It's built and run by one person who uses it every day. I'd especially love feedback from anyone who's used MileIQ, Stride, or Everlance and felt let down β what would actually make you switch?
Thanks for checking it out!

The 40 free trips per month is really helpful. One question, does the 90-day projection adjust if your driving patterns are seasonal, like someone who drives heavily in summer for deliveries but barely at all in winter?
The projection is annual based and accounts for all the driving you have done so far in the current year and estimates the rest of the current year based on your last 90 days driving habits. So, to answer your question, yes, I think it will still estimate reasonably well.
