Motored

Car maintenance log · iPhone & Android

Your car’s whole history, in one place.

Motored is a car maintenance log for every car you own. Write down the service, the repair, the mod, the fill-up and what it cost — and Motored tells you when it is due again, then hands the whole record back whenever you ask.

One car is free, forever. Motored Pro is how you keep the rest of the garage here too.

What it keeps

A service history you will actually keep

A glovebox full of receipts is not a service record — it is a pile you hope to find again. Motored is the same information, written down once, in an order that survives the four years between buying the car and selling it.

Service and repairs

Oil changes, brakes, tires, whatever you had done — and whether you did it yourself or a shop did. Attach the photo of the invoice while you still have it.

Mods and parts

What you fitted, what it cost, before and after. A build sheet you can hand to the next owner, rather than a forum thread you cannot find.

Fuel, charging and real MPG

Every tank and every charge, with the miles per gallon you actually get rather than the number on the window sticker. Partial fills and missed fills are handled.

What it has all cost

Year by year, and what that works out to a month. The figure most people guess at, and guess low.


Car maintenance reminders

Reminders that follow your mileage

Set an oil change for every 6 months or 5,000 miles and Motored watches both. The timing comes from how much you have been driving lately, so a month of long commutes moves the reminder closer and a month in the garage pushes it back.

You hear about it once, a little before it is due. Never a drip, never a badge that sits there going red.

Intervals already written down

Oil, tire rotation, brake fluid, cabin filters, spark plugs, timing belts, coolant, insurance renewal and the annual inspection. Every number is yours to change before you save it.

Whatever it runs on

Gas, diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, electric, hydrogen, LPG. An electric car is never asked about oil changes, and a gas car is never asked about kWh.

Adding a car takes a minute

Scan the VIN or type what you drive. Fill in as much or as little as you like — none of it is required, and Motored would rather show nothing than a guess.

Works with no signal

Written for a garage with concrete walls. Logging a job, checking what is due and reading the whole history all work with the phone offline.


Your records

Everything you write down comes back out

Export the lot to a spreadsheet, or take a full backup with the photos, whenever you like — free, always, whether or not you ever pay us anything. Motored also keeps a quiet copy on the phone each week, and the last three are always there.

A logbook you cannot get back out of is not a logbook. If Motored disappeared tomorrow you would still have every word of it, in CSV and JSON, readable by anything.

Spreadsheet export

Two CSVs — one for the cars, one for every entry — plus the photos, in a zip.

Full backup and restore

One file holds the whole logbook. Move to a new phone, or keep it somewhere safe; either way it is a file you hold.

Seventeen languages

English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Czech, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Indonesian and Arabic.

No account to make

Open it and start writing. There is no sign-up, no email to confirm and no password to lose.


Pricing

One car is free, forever

Keep one car at no cost for as long as you like — the whole app, not a trial. Motored Pro is how you keep the rest of the garage here too, for as many cars as you want. It is the only thing Pro unlocks.

Month to month. Cancel in the store whenever you like.

$49.99 Per year

Works out at about $4.17 a month.

$74.99 Once

One payment, never expires. No subscription to remember.

US list prices. Both stores show you your own currency, and the app never quotes a price it did not get from the store. Export and backup are free on every plan.


Questions

Before you download it

Do I need an account?

No. Motored has no sign-up, no email confirmation and no password. Open the app and start writing. Buying Pro goes through the App Store or Google Play, which handles the payment with the account you already have there.

Does Motored sync between my phone and my tablet?

Yes, with Pro. Buy Pro, create an account, and your cars, entries and photos are on every device you sign in on. Motored offers this after you buy, never before.

Free stays free and stays offline. A free logbook is never asked to sign up and nothing in it is ever uploaded. Sync is yours to turn on, Settings turns it off, and the privacy policy sets out exactly what is stored, where, and for how long.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Logging a job, checking what is due, reading the history and running the cost report all work with no signal at all. Two things do use the network when you ask for them: decoding a VIN, and buying Pro.

What happens to my logbook if I stop paying?

Nothing is deleted. Every car, entry, reminder and photo stays where it is, and export and backup keep working — they are free on every plan, including no plan. What you lose is the ability to keep more than one car active.

Can I get my data out?

Whenever you like, free. Motored writes two CSVs and a JSON file, bundles them with your photos into a zip, and hands it to the share sheet. CSV opens in any spreadsheet; the JSON is the same data in a form a program can read.

Does it track fuel and MPG?

Yes — every fill-up, with the miles per gallon you actually get rather than the manufacturer’s figure. Partial fills and fills you forgot to log are both handled rather than quietly wrecking the average. Electric cars log charging the same way, in miles per kWh or kWh/100 km.

How many cars can I keep?

One for free, for as long as you like. Motored Pro lifts that to as many as you want — it is the only thing Pro unlocks. Everything else in the app is the same on both.

Which phones does it run on?

iPhone and Android. Motored is built for the phone rather than the tablet — it is the thing you have in your hand in a car park.

What does Motored collect about me?

Your logbook is yours and we do not read it. Motored does send anonymous product analytics — which screens get used and which features get tapped, never what you wrote in them — and it sends a VIN to a US government database when you ask it to decode one. The privacy policy lists every one of those, what leaves the phone and what does not.


Start with the car you drive most

One car is free forever, so there is nothing to decide up front. Write down the last thing you had done and the mileage it was done at — Motored works out the rest from there.
