FirstGear

Learning to drive comes with a catch: you have to log every supervised hour, split day and night, and prove it to the DMV. FirstGear does that for you.

Start a drive and FirstGear tracks it automatically with GPS — measuring distance, following your route on a live map, and splitting day and night hours so the totals are always right. When you're done, save who supervised, which vehicle you drove, the road types, and the weather. Then export the whole thing as a clean PDF for your supervisor or the DMV.

GPS-VERIFIED HOUR TRACKING • Automatic day & night hour totals • Live map while you record • Road-type classification: residential, highway, rural, city, parking lot & school zone

EVERY DETAIL THE DMV WANTS • Track supervisors and their relationship to you • Save your vehicles and pick one per drive • Weather automatically tagged on each drive

YOUR WHOLE LOG, ORGANIZED • Every drive in one place with its own route map, distance, and duration • Filter by all, day, or night • Tap any drive for the full detail

A CLEAN PDF, READY FOR THE DMV • One-tap PDF export • Share via email, Files, or AirDrop • Every drive, supervisor, and total accounted for

STAY ON PACE • Dashboard with progress rings and a permit countdown • Weekly hours chart and trends • State requirements built in — total and night-hour goals set automatically

PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your driving log is yours alone. FirstGear keeps your data on your device and in your own iCloud. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no tracking. We don't run a server that collects your data, and we never sell or share it. (The only time information leaves your device is sending approximate coordinates to a weather service to show conditions for a drive.)

PRICING FirstGear is a one-time $7.99 unlock — no subscription and no recurring charge. Pay once and own it.
