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 a continuous shift from your driveway until you return.
The result: deadhead miles that competing apps miss are captured automatically. For a typical full-time gig driver, that difference is worth $400 to $1,200 in additional deductions per year.
- 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.
Drivers who use the Tax Shield report tracking consistently because the reward is immediate. You stop seeing miles as fatigue and start seeing them as untaxed income.
- Live YTD tax shield ticker
