What to look for in a replacement
Canada and the United States each have their own rate, their own record rules and their own unit. Neither set is hard, but an app has to know both, and most trackers know one.
The right rate for your country, built in
Canada: one rate for the first 5,000 km and a lower one after, 73¢ then 67¢ for 2026, with 4¢ more in the territories. United States: 72.5¢ a mile to June 30, 2026 and 76¢ from July 1. A tracker that only knows one flat rate for the year will get your number wrong on either side.
A log the CRA or the IRS will accept
Date, destination, purpose and distance for each trip, plus odometer readings at the start and end of the year (the CRA) or the year’s total miles (the IRS). Check that the export has all of them.
Trips that start without you
The point of an automatic tracker is that you do not have to remember. Ask how the app knows you are in your car and not on the bus.
Where the data goes
Read the App Store privacy label before you read the marketing. A mileage log is a map of your days.
Parking and tolls
In the United States they are claimed on top of the standard rate; in Canada the self-employed deduct them in full. Check that the app records them with the trip.
Languages
If you or your accountant work in French, check that the app and its reports do too.
CRA rates: automobile allowance rates, canada.ca. IRS rates: standard mileage rates, irs.gov.
Switch in five steps
You keep your MileIQ history as a file and start a fresh log in Odie the same day, so there is no gap. Do the first two steps before you cancel.
- Export each year from MileIQ. On the web dashboard, export one CSV per tax year and check the row counts. Classify any unclassified drives first, then export again.
- Keep the files somewhere that does not need a subscription. Your own cloud storage, a backup drive, and a copy with your accountant. The CRA can ask for records for six years from the end of the tax year.
- Install Odie and pick your country. The answer sets the CRA or IRS rate table, kilometres or miles, and CAD or USD. There is no account to create.
- Enter today’s odometer reading. A dated reading closes the MileIQ log and opens the new one, so the year’s total distance is still accounted for across both.
- Turn off MileIQ’s drive detection and drive. Odie starts and ends trips when your phone connects to your car, over Bluetooth or CarPlay, and asks Work or Personal when you park. Two apps recording the same drives would leave duplicates.

How Odie differs
Odie starts a trip when your phone connects to your car (its hands-free Bluetooth, CarPlay, or the car’s own Wi-Fi) and the iPhone’s motion sensor confirms you are driving. When the car disappears, the trip ends. You tag it Work or Personal with one tap on the lock screen.
The CRA two-tier rate and the IRS standard rate are built in for 2024 to 2026, with each trip priced at the rate of its date; you pick the country at setup and the unit and currency follow. English and French are built in. The year report is a PDF and a CSV with a summary, a monthly table, a per-client table, expenses, the trip log and your odometer bounds.
There is no account. Trips live on your iPhone, and if you leave iCloud sync on they also live in your private iCloud database, which we cannot read. The app has no third-party SDKs and no network code of its own.
- Automatic trips, started by your car, confirmed by motion
- CRA two-tier table and IRS rate table for 2024 to 2026, with an override and a custom rate
- Kilometres or miles, CAD or USD
- English and French
- Year PDF and CSV, full CSV export
- No account, no analytics, no ads
- iPhone only, iOS 17 or later
- No importer from MileIQ or any other app
Questions
Can I import my MileIQ drives into Odie?
No. Odie has no importer for other apps, and we would rather say so plainly than promise one. Export your MileIQ history as a PDF or spreadsheet for your records, then start a fresh log in Odie from a date you choose.
Will I lose my log if I switch mid-year?
No, as long as you keep the old export. The CRA asks for a record of each trip and odometer readings at the start and end of the year; the IRS asks for each trip and the year’s total miles. Two exports covering two halves of the year, plus your odometer readings, still add up to a full record. Keep both.
How much will Odie cost?
Free to start: trips logged by hand without limit, 40 automatic trips a month, one car, CSV export of every trip, backup and iCloud sync. Odie Pro adds automatic trips without limit, the year report as PDF and CSV, and more than one car, for $4.99 CAD or $3.99 USD a month, $39.99 CAD or $29.99 USD a year. There is no account, so nothing expires or locks you out of your own trips: the CSV export is free whatever happens.
Does Odie work on Android or the web?
No. Odie is an iPhone app, iOS 17 or later. There is no web dashboard and no team plan, because your trips never leave the phone except through your own private iCloud sync.
