Fuel & cost log for iPhone

Log the fill-up your way: snap the receipt, or type it in.

Tankbook is a car cost log. Fuel, charging, service and the rest – kept on your phone, added in seconds through either door, checked by arithmetic you can watch.

FreeNo account neededExport always free

Free on the App Store, iPhone with iOS 18 or later. No badge, no fake ratings – the mail reaches a human.

Tankbook's Log screen: a Volvo V60 at 101 800 km, Fill-up, Service and Expense one tap each, average consumption 6.7 L/100km set large, and September at 150 €, 0.19 €/km, 25% lower than August

The real app, not a render – Fill-up, Service and Expense are one tap each, beside the camera.

Three ways in

Snap it or type it – both take seconds.

Snap it

Point the camera at the receipt. The scan fills in what it can read – you check the numbers, correct the rest, and it remembers your corrections. A head start, not an answer.

Photograph the pump

Point the camera at the pump's display before you drive off. The app reads the total, litres and price, checks that they multiply up, and shows them beside the photo for you to confirm. A head start, not an answer.

Type it

Date, odometer, litres, total – a form built for thumbs, and price per litre fills in from total ÷ litres. Typing is a front door of its own, never the failure branch.

Neither door is a fallback – a poor photo means correcting two fields, never starting over.

Checks as you type

The maths runs where you can see it.

Litres × price has to equal the total. When it does, the line locks with a tick – trust you can look at, not magic you're asked to believe.

42.30 L 1.679 €/L

= 71.02 €

And when it doesn't add up, the odd field gets an amber underline and a tap-to-fix – never a silent guess.

The fill-up card mid-entry: total 71.02, litres 42.30, price 1.679, with the cross-check line reading 'checks as you type'

Live in the entry card, on every fill-up.

Your data, yours

On your phone. Not on a login wall.

No account, ever needed

Everything works signed out. Sign-in exists only for sync and restore – the app never asks first.

Offline is normal

The log is a database on your phone. No screen waits for a server, at a pump or in a garage with no bars.

Export always free

CSV or JSON, every field, whenever you like. Your own data has no paywall – and never will.

Nothing of yours is logged

Amounts, stations, notes, coordinates: never in our logs – at any level, in any build.

One history

Every powertrain, every currency.

  • Petrol
  • Diesel
  • Hybrid
  • EV

Litres and kilowatt-hours live in one stream, each with its own consumption maths – fuel burns taillight red, electricity glows headlight cyan, the same code everywhere in the app.

Fill up across a border and the entry keeps both amounts – what you paid and what it was worth at home, at the rate on the day of the fill-up, never today's. Rate snapshots are immutable: they never rewrite your history.

A fill-up in Poland: currency chips with PLN selected, total 289.50 zloty, 47.30 litres at 6.120 per litre, the cross-check locked with its tick

289.50 zł, kept with its euro value at the Aug 21 rate – the day it happened.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

Do I need an account?

No, and the app never asks first. Everything works signed out; signing in exists only to sync and restore across devices.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The log lives on your phone and no screen is gated on a server. The network is only for the optional things: a cloud assist on a hard scan, sync, restore.

What does a scan actually do?

It gives you a head start, not an answer. The scan fills in what it can read and shows what it's unsure about; you correct the rest, and it remembers. A poor photo means fixing two fields, never starting over.

What does it cost?

Nothing right now – Tankbook is free while we finish. Three things stay true after launch: multiple cars in the free tier, export always free, and limits never change retroactively.

I have years of data in another app.

Import works review-first: your file is parsed into candidate rows, you review and edit every one, and only you commit them. CSV exports from My Fuel Manager and Drivvo are supported today; more formats may follow.

I drive a petrol car and an EV.

One history for both. Fill-ups in litres, charges in kilowatt-hours, and consumption maths that knows the difference – colour-coded apart at a glance.
