Your ATO logbook, written while you drive
Your car is worth thousands at tax time. LogSprint runs the 12-week logbook the ATO method asks for, on your iPhone, and turns it into an accountant-grade export.
Free to start · GPS only while driving · No accounts, no servers
The 12-week sprint
Twelve weeks of driving. Five years of claiming.
The ATO logbook method needs one continuous 12-week record, then your business-use percentage holds for up to five years.
Week 0
It starts with one odometer reading
Type in what the dash says. That single number anchors the whole logbook, and LogSprint checks every trip against it from then on.
Weeks 1-12
Just drive. The logbook writes itself.
Trips record themselves while you work. At the end of a day you swipe each one business or private, which takes about as long as reading this sentence.
Week 12
Your percentage locks in
Sprint done. LogSprint stops tracking your location and stays out of your way until tax time, when the export is waiting.
Auto-tracking
Never lose a kilometre. Not even quietly.
Every tracker promises it never misses a trip. LogSprint promises something it can keep: every kilometre is either tracked or visibly reconciled.
Wakes when you drive off
iOS watches a small zone around where you parked; driving out of it wakes the app. No button to remember, nothing running overnight.
GPS only while driving
Location runs from the moment a trip starts to the moment it ends, then stops. LogSprint is not a 24/7 tracker, by design.
Silence gets reported
If tracking stops working, you hear about it within about 48 hours. Trip gaps and odometer readings that do not add up get flagged, so you see exactly which kilometres need a second look.
Auto-tracking is free for the first 14 days, then part of Pro. Manual logging stays free forever.
Compliance
Every field the ATO requires, recorded
The logbook method is a list of requirements. LogSprint encodes them, so a finished sprint meets ATO logbook method requirements by construction.

At tax time, the whole record exports as an accountant-grade PDF or CSV. The export is the product: it is what your accountant actually wants from you in July.

Privacy
Nothing touches our servers, because there are none
Your logbook is a record of everywhere your car goes. That is exactly the kind of data that should never sit in someone else's database, so it never does.
No account, no login
There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to sign in to. LogSprint never learns who you are.
No server holding a copy
Your logbook lives in a database on your iPhone and nowhere else. Delete the app and the data is genuinely gone.
Backups go to your iCloud, not ours
The app writes a backup to your own iCloud Drive, under your Apple ID, where we could not read it even if we wanted to. Move phones and your logbook comes with you.
This website asks for nothing either: no account, no cookies, no analytics.
