Miles you don't log are money you don't claim.
Paper logbooks and notes apps rely on your memory. With ODO, your only job is to tap “business”.
How it works
The log keeps itself. The claim adds up as you drive.
For employees driving their own car, and the self-employed.
Logs every drive by itself
Starts the moment your car connects, by CarPlay, Android Auto or Bluetooth. Only your car counts.
Business or personal? One tap.
ODO asks after each drive, and suggests the purpose from past trips to the same place.
Your claim, worked out
Totalled for the tax year at HMRC's rates: 55p a mile for the first 10,000, then 25p. (source)
A log ready to hand in
Export any period as a PDF or spreadsheet, ready for your employer or accountant.

Car on PCP?
Your work miles count against your allowance.
Go over and you'll typically pay 5–15p a mile at hand-back. ODO Business tracks both: your claim and your allowance.
Same miles. Two numbers.
Your allowance as a daily, weekly or monthly budget, with alerts.
A forecast of your final mileage, once ODO has learned your driving.
The allowance to change to, while changing is still cheap.
Private by design
Your drives stay on your phone.
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your trips are backed up to your own iCloud or Google account, and nobody at ODO can see them.

Questions.
For work drivers
Will my employer or HMRC accept the log?
Each trip records the date, start and end, miles, purpose and claim. Ask your employer or accountant how they want it sent.
If my employer pays less than 55p, do I get the difference back?
Not all of it. You may be able to claim tax relief on the difference, worked out at your tax rate.
I'm self-employed. Does ODO work for me?
Yes. The same 55p and 25p rates apply under simplified expenses, and the log exports as a PDF or spreadsheet for your records.
My employer uses its own mileage rate. Can I change it?
Yes. Set your own rate and ODO works the claim out with it.
My car's on PCP too. Is that included?
Yes. ODO Business includes everything in Plus: your pace, the forecast and Plan ahead.
Everything else
Do I need CarPlay or Android Auto?
No. ODO can start from your car's Bluetooth instead. Without either, tap Start in the app or on a widget.
What if it misses a drive?
Add it by hand. Type where you started and ended, and ODO finds the distance by road.
Will it count drives in other cars?
No. It only logs the car you picked during setup.
How accurate is the mileage?
ODO measures by GPS and filters out bad readings. Add your dashboard reading now and then to keep the total exact.
Will it drain my battery?
ODO only uses your location while you're driving, and starts and stops with your car's connection.
Where's my data?
On your phone and in your own iCloud or Google backup. There's no account, and nobody at ODO can see your trips.
