Record the route, distance, duration, stops, and core metrics, then keep the trip attached to the vehicle and build behind it.
Every drive. Every change. One car history.
A local-first iPhone driving record that connects every trip to the exact vehicle setup behind it. Trace is in active development.

Every circuit leaves a trace.
Familiar routes, redrawn as one moving world. Trace is built to keep the road and the vehicle behind it in the same record.

No circuit selected.
Decorative historical circuit outlines; not current survey data. Sources and licenses.
One record. Three kinds of memory.
A route alone forgets the car. A parts list forgets the drive. Trace keeps both sides connected, so the record gets more useful with every mile.
Search and revisit past drives by vehicle and time, with deliberate controls for what belongs in a shared view.
Keep modifications, maintenance, issues, photos, and milestones in a time-versioned record of how the car changed.
Share the car. Keep the private record private.
Choose the photo, vehicle details, build context, and drive facts that belong on the card. Trace is designed to create a separate shareable view without turning the underlying record into public content.

The route is only half the record.
Trace preserves the selected car, its active configuration, and the moment of the drive alongside the trip itself.

Not just where you drove. What the car was when you drove it.
A tune, tire change, repair, or service can change what the next drive means. Trace keeps that context attached instead of asking you to reconstruct it later.

Works before the account does.
Recording, reviewing, and keeping the core vehicle history are designed not to depend on an account, a signal, or a subscription.
The product promise: the core tracker will stay free and local-first.Recording, complete trip history, core metrics, one vehicle, local storage, export, and privacy controls belong in the free core. Planned premium capabilities include deeper mechanic guidance, cloud sync, additional vehicles, and document history.

Raw routes, VINs, receipts, and private build details are not treated as public content. Sharing remains a separate, deliberate action.
When the record stays connected, a drive becomes part of the car's story instead of another isolated map.

“There is a new vibration after the latest build change.”

Guidance · not a diagnosisA future mechanic that starts with the actual build.
Trace is building toward bounded mechanic guidance that can use vehicle configuration, issue history, and recent trips without hiding what it cannot know.
Start from the parts and configuration that were actually installed.
Keep evidence, limitations, and uncertainty visible.
Keep urgent safety classification outside any paid report, with qualified inspection still the boundary.
This mechanic experience is in development and is not currently available. It will not replace qualified inspection.
Follow Trace as the record takes shape.
Trace is in active development for iPhone. Product visualizations show current direction, not an App Store release.
