Built for the way drivers actually work.
Four core capabilities, each engineered for the long shifts, multi-apping, and tax pressures of real gig work.
Shifts, not micro-trips.
Most apps log fragmented per-trip mileage and lose the time you spend repositioning, waiting, and cruising between fares. MileShield uses motion coprocessor triggers to log one continuous shift, from when you start working until you stop.
The result: the deadhead miles between orders are captured automatically, across every app you drive for. Every 1,000 of those miles is about $740 of extra deduction at the 2026 blended IRS rate.
- Motion coprocessor + Bluetooth shift detection
- Background location only when a shift is active
- Battery impact under 4% per hour
- Manual fallback for any time GPS is unreliable
Every mile, in real dollars.
The Tax Shield is the heart of the app. Open MileShield and you see a single number: how much you have shielded from federal tax this year. It updates as you drive.
Seeing the number grow makes it easier to track every shift. You stop seeing miles as wear and tear and start seeing them as income you won't pay tax on. Want to see your own number first? Try the gig driver tax calculator.

The export is the anchor feature — the moment drivers feel why MileShield earned its subscription. One tap produces a two-part package: a polished PDF top-sheet mapped to Schedule C lines, and a CSV audit trail.
Hand it to your tax preparer and watch their day get easier, or use the line-by-line totals to fill in Schedule C in whatever tax software you use.
- PDF mapped to IRS Form 1040 Schedule C lines
- CSV audit trail with timestamped GPS data

- Dated records of date, miles and business purpose, as the IRS asks
