The free ATO car logbook for Australian drivers, tracked automatically

RyeDC is an ATO car logbook and automatic mileage tracker made for rideshare drivers, and for anyone in Australia who drives for work. Turn on automatic tracking and your drives are recorded for you. You check them, and your logbook is built from what you confirm.

The Mileage screen in RyeDC: this year's business-use percentage, the highlights deck and the week's driving

Three steps to a logbook

  1. Turn it on

    Settings › Automatic Mileage. The screen lists everything tracking needs, with a Fix button beside each.

  2. Drive

    Each drive is recorded with its route and distance, and filed as business until you say otherwise.

  3. Check and export

    Correct the odd drive, read your odometer now and then, and export the logbook the ATO describes as a PDF or an Excel file.

Automatic mileage tracking

No Start button. RyeDC picks up your drives, records when each one ran, where it went and how far, and files it as business by default. A drive it is not sure about is set aside as Not categorised for you to look at. It never files a drive as personal on your behalf.

How automatic mileage works in RyeDC

History in RyeDC: detected drives, shifts and odometer readings in one list

Your ATO logbook, ready to print

An Australian logbook has to run for at least 12 continuous weeks and be representative of your year. RyeDC finds your representative period in your records, then prints a vehicle logbook with the odometer at each end, every journey's distance, destination and reason, and the business-use percentage.

What the ATO asks for, and where it is in your logbook

Logbook periods in RyeDC: the year's estimate, the representative period, and the best twelve weeks for comparison

Or log shifts from the dash

Prefer to type it? Tap Start Shift with the odometer reading, drive, and tap End Shift with the closing one. The distance is the span between the two, and shifts sit beside detected drives in one history.

Business use, worked out the way the ATO reads it

Your business-use percentage is business distance divided by the distance your odometer actually moved, not by what the app managed to detect. A drive the app missed counts against you rather than quietly disappearing, which is what a logbook is expected to do. Read the dash every few weeks and the app keeps its figures and yours in agreement.

A fare meter for private and booked trips

Fare Meter quotes a trip before it starts, meters it on your own rate card, and keeps the fare on the lock screen while you drive. Afterwards you have every line of the fare, and your earnings by week, month or financial year.

Built for rideshare drivers

RyeDC began as a companion for rideshare and taxi drivers, and the tools for the job are still here.
