For walking in hills, not round a park. Every walk is broken down by gradient, because eight flat kilometres and eight up Scafell Pike are the same number and nothing alike.

Car Portfolio

Every car you look after in one place, each on its own card with its MOT, tax, insurance, breakdown and service dates. Reminders a month before, a week before and on the day, set on your phone rather than sent from a server. A GPS trip log totals your business miles, and the mileage screen works them out at HMRC’s approved rates — now on TestFlight, coming soon to the App Store.
