The car log you'll still have in 15 years.
Log any service, fill-up, or charge in seconds. SteerLog reminds you before the next oil change, by date and by mileage. Inspection, road tax, insurance, registration: the dates your country sets are already on the calendar. It all lives on your phone and in your own iCloud. No company server can lose your records.
Your car's whole story. Yours to keep.
Free CSV & PDF export from day one · Works offline · Petrol, diesel, hybrid, electric · 35 languages · Nothing to cancel — Pro is a one-time unlock, not a subscription.

Every entry stays on your phone and in your own iCloud. Fifteen years from now, this record is still yours.
In 12 daysOr 800 mi
Never miss an oil change
Set a reminder once. SteerLog watches both clocks: the calendar and the odometer. "Oil & filter change — in 12 days · in 800 mi" sits at the top of your home screen and on a widget. It shows on your lock screen before it's overdue.
Whichever comes first wins. That is how service intervals really work.
Your countryAlready scheduled
Your country's rules, built in
Tell SteerLog where the car is registered. The dates the law cares about are then on the calendar: inspection, road tax, insurance, registration. Each has the right name and the right interval, for 28 markets. TÜV in Germany, 車検 in Japan, ITV in Spain, the MOT in the UK, rego in Australia.
Service presets for petrol, diesel, hybrid, or electric cars come too. So a new car starts with a real schedule, not a blank list. This is guidance, not legal advice. Check the dates against your official notices.
At the pumpTen seconds
Log it before the receipt prints
Service, fuel, or expense: odometer, cost, notes, done. Drive electric or hybrid? Log a charging session (kWh, start and end percent) as easily as a fill-up. Fill-ups work out your real fuel economy for you. Pick L/100 km, km/L, mpg (US) or mpg (UK).
No forms that fight you. Pro adds a receipt reader. It fills in the total and date from a photo, and it reads it on the phone, not on a server. Either way, each entry lands in one history you can search.
Month by monthNo surprises
See what your car really costs
Spend per month, cost per mile, fuel economy over time. The charts come from your own entries, not guesses. Know if the old car is worth keeping before the next repair decides for you.
Pro adds Insights. You get a cost forecast for the year ahead, this year against last, and where the money goes. You also get EV charging cost and efficiency, and two cars side by side. It all runs on your phone, not on a server.
One jobOne page
Prove the work got done
Pick one job — say, the last oil change — and SteerLog builds a clean paper trail: the date, the odometer, the cost, and every part used.
Any gap in the schedule shows in red. Hand the page to a buyer, a mechanic, or a warranty desk.
In your wordsOn your phone
Ask your log a question
Type a plain question, like "When did I last change the oil?" SteerLog reads your own history and answers.
It runs on Apple Intelligence iPhones, in the languages it supports. The answer is put together on your phone.
Year eightNew phone, same garage
A history that survives anything
Apps shut down. Firms get bought. Servers get turned off, and ten years of service records go with them. SteerLog is built so that can't happen to yours.
Your own iCloud
Private sync through your own iCloud. There is no account to make, and we can't see it. New phone, same garage, all on its own.
Backup files
One tap writes a backup file. Keep it anywhere: Files, iCloud Drive, or an email to yourself. Restore it on any device.
CSV & PDF out, free
Export any car's full history as a spreadsheet or a clean PDF. Give it to your mechanic or the next owner, or keep it because it's yours. Free, forever.
And CSV in, free
Coming from Fuelly, Simply Auto, or a spreadsheet you have kept for years? Import it. Steerlog reads the common formats and skips duplicates. Your dates and odometer readings stay as they were. Bringing your history in is free, the same as taking it out.
The glovebox, without the glovebox
VIN, plate, insurer, policy number and renewal dates live with the car, not in a folder in the kitchen drawer. Add photos of the papers too. Steerlog reminds you before the insurance or registration runs out.
The numbers you always need
VIN and plate at the parts counter, at the DMV, and when you sell. Tyre sizes and part numbers where you can find them.
Renewals that find you
Insurance, registration, inspection, and road-tax dates become reminders. The same system that nags you about the oil sends them: by date, by mileage, or both.
A dossier worth handing over
Export one PDF with the car's ID block, the cost summary, every service and charge, and your receipt photos at the end. It's the paper a buyer trusts when you sell, and the one a warranty claim needs.
Every mileNobody watching
Your garage is your business.
SteerLog is built so we can't see your data. There is nothing to breach, sell, or lose. On the App Store that reads: Data Not Collected.

Hi, I'm Shakti. I built SteerLog because I was tired of car apps that lose people's records. The subscription lapses, the company folds, and ten years of service history is gone.
SteerLog has no investors, no growth team, and no ads to sell. One car is free forever. Pro is one purchase. I never see your data. That's the whole plan: build the log people keep, charge once, keep it working.

Before you downloadFair questions
Fair questions
Where is my data stored?
On your iPhone. If you're signed into iCloud, it's also in your own private iCloud. That belongs to your Apple Account, and we can't get into it. SteerLog has no accounts, no analytics, and no company server that could lose your records.
What's free and what's Pro?
One car is free, with everything that keeps the record: full history, fuel and EV charging, reminders, widget, charts, iCloud sync, backup, and CSV/PDF export. Pro is a one-time unlock, priced on the App Store, and never a subscription. It adds every car you own, two-car comparison, per-car units and currency, and Insights and forecast (including EV cost and efficiency). It also adds statutory and service presets for your country, photo receipts with the on-device receipt reader, and the glovebox with its dossier PDF. That's the whole price list.
Does it work for electric and hybrid cars?
Yes. Log a charging session (kWh, start and end percent) as easily as a fill-up. A hybrid logs both. Presets know an electric car has no oil to change. Pro Insights add charging cost and efficiency over time.
Which countries are covered?
Statutory presets cover inspection, road tax, insurance and registration in 28 markets, with their local names and intervals. The app speaks 35 languages with local units and currency. Anywhere else, you still get the service presets and can add your own dates. Presets are guidance, not legal advice. Always check your official notices.
New phone — do I pay again?
No. The Pro unlock is tied to your Apple Account, so tap Restore Purchases on the new phone. Your garage follows on its own through your iCloud. Or restore from a backup file on the welcome screen.
Can I get my records out?
Yes, always, and for free. Export any car's history as CSV or PDF, or write a full backup file. Keep it in Files, iCloud Drive, or email. Export is free on day one. Your history is never held hostage.
What is the best app to keep track of car maintenance?
The best car maintenance app is the one whose records survive. It should log a service in seconds, remind you by both date and mileage, work without an account, and export your full history. SteerLog does all four. Your data stays on your phone and your own iCloud, not a company server. We compare seven iPhone apps on exactly those points in our honest comparison.
How often should you change your oil?
Most modern cars on full synthetic oil go 7,500–10,000 miles between changes. Conventional oil is closer to 3,000–5,000 miles. Short trips, towing, and dusty roads shorten it. Your owner's manual has the final word. Our free oil change interval calculator gives you a starting point.
Something else? Support has the full list, or email support@steerlog.app.
Made for the long haul.
Log the service, close the hood, forget about it until SteerLog taps you.
