Summary

Smart Miles is an automatic mileage tracking app for business drivers (self-employed, real estate agents, delivery drivers, etc.) that detects trips automatically, classifies them intelligently, and exports tax-ready data. The maker built it as a solution to expensive, ad-heavy, or outdated mileage tracking apps, aiming to help users maximize IRS business mile deductions.

I'm Alex, the maker of Smart Miles, and this is a tool I built because I needed it.
If you drive for work — whether you're self-employed, a real-estate agent, a delivery driver, or just have a side hustle — the IRS lets you deduct every business mile you drive.
But the apps that track those miles for you are expensive, ad-heavy, or feel like they haven't been touched since 2015.
Smart Miles is my take on what an automatic mileage tracker should feel like in 2026
Truly automatic: drive away and we detect the trip

Automatic trip tracking, smart classification, and tax-ready exports — so you never miss a deduction.
