  1. Why does the app need location permissions?

    To detect when you start and stop driving. Location data stays on your device — we cannot see it. "Always Allow" is required for background detection to work.

  2. How does auto trip detection work?

    GPS, motion sensors, CarPlay, Bluetooth, and parking geofences work together to detect when you start and stop driving. Drives over two minutes are logged automatically.
