US example estimate: logged business miles × the IRS standard mileage rate for the driving date. A deduction lowers taxable income; it isn't cash, a refund, or tax saved. Eligibility rules apply, including the rules for choosing the standard rate. Commuting isn't deductible. Read the mileage log guide.

One log for all your work

Use Orphie for deliveries, rideshare, property showings, or client visits. In Settings, open Driving for and tap Add your own.

How to log a shift

You choose which miles to log. Orphie doesn't decide what's deductible or identify commuting.

  1. StartChoose your vehicle and who you're driving for, then tap Start shift before you drive.
  2. Pause if neededTap Pause for personal driving. Location turns off until Resume, so no miles or route are recorded.
  3. EndTap End shift. Location can continue for up to 10 minutes, or until the car has been parked for 2 continuous minutes, whichever comes first. If you tap End shift while paused, location stays off.
  4. SaveCheck the route, stops, and business purpose, then tap Save shift. The record ends at your End shift tap; any driving recorded afterward is discarded.

Orphie has no server. Apple Maps on iPhone and Google Maps on Android draw the route map.

On Android, you can also turn on automatic backups to your own Google Drive. See the privacy policy.

Questions

For recordkeeping rules, read the mileage log guide.

What if I forget to start?

You can add a shift by hand. It stays permanently marked “Added by hand” and has no route. Orphie can't recover a drive it didn't record.

Can I drive for more than one company?

Yes. Select more than one name under Driving for. Orphie keeps one mileage total for that shift; it can't tell which miles were for which one.

Can I use Orphie for real estate or my own business?

Yes. In Settings, open Driving for and tap Add your own. Select the name before Start shift. Whether the miles are deductible depends on how you work. See the US mileage log guide.

What if I tap End too early?

Tap Resume shift to continue logging. If you tapped End shift while recording, location can continue for up to 10 minutes, or until the car has been parked for 2 continuous minutes, whichever comes first. Resume keeps the extra driving recorded during that window, even if you resume later. Driving after the window closes and before you resume can't be recovered. Save shift keeps the record as it was at End and discards the extra driving. If you tapped End shift while paused, location stayed off.

Does Orphie connect to delivery or rideshare accounts?

No. Driving for names are labels you choose. Orphie doesn't ask for company logins or detect which platform you're using.

Where is my log kept? Can I export it?

Your log is stored on your phone. Export a year's mileage log as a PDF or CSV from Taxes, or use Export all data in Settings for every record. To make a backup, open Backup and restore in Settings and tap Back up now. Only a backup file can restore your log. Exports are for reading.

Which languages does Orphie support?

English, Spanish, German, Finnish, Dutch, Swedish, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Orphie starts in your phone's language, and you can change it when you set up or in Settings.
