A complete walk-through of every feature, written for busy drivers, tradespeople, and field crews. Skim a section, or read end-to-end in about 10 minutes.

Getting started

Sign in (or create an account) and you'll land on your Dashboard, which shows month-to-date expenses, mileage, active entities, and a year-over-year comparison.

  1. Create at least one entity — a property, project, or client.
  2. Log a few expenses and trips against that entity.
  3. At month end, generate a PDF report from the Reports page.
💡 Use the floating button on mobile for one-tap Quick Add.

Entities

Entities are the buckets you tag every expense and trip against — for example a rental property, a renovation project, or a consulting client.

  • Add an entity from Entities.
  • Pick a type (Property, Project, Client, Other) and an optional address.
  • Archive an entity when it's no longer active — historical data is preserved.

Expenses

Each expense includes amount, vendor, category, date, and an optional receipt photo.

  • Tap Use current location next to Vendor to auto-fill the place name.
  • Attach a receipt — it's stored privately and shown on reports.
  • Edit or delete from the row menu; deletes go to Trash for recovery.

Mileage

Log a trip with date, From, To, distance, and purpose.

  • Quick Purpose presets (Project Site, Supply Run, Fuel Up, …) one-tap fill the purpose; your last 6 are remembered.
  • Odometer auto-calc: enter Start and End odometer readings — the suggested distance appears next to the Distance field with a chip. Tap to apply, or it auto-fills if Distance is empty.
  • Use Use current location on From / To for fast addressing.

Voice entry

Most text and number fields show a microphone. Tap, dictate, and OmniTrack parses numbers, currency, and short phrases.

  • Works best in Chrome / Safari on iOS 16+ and Android 12+.
  • The PWA manifest requests microphone permission so it keeps working when installed to your home screen.
  • Voice never leaves the device — recognition runs in the browser.

Offline mode

OmniTrack queues writes to a local database when you're offline or on a flaky signal.

  • The header shows a pending sync badge with the queued count.
  • When the device returns online, the queue auto-flushes in order.
  • Reads are served from the last cached query result until the network returns.

Reports

From Reports, pick a date range and entity, then export.

  • PDF includes per-category totals, trip log, and an itemized expense table.
  • CSV is suitable for QuickBooks, Xero, or your accountant's preferred tool.

Security & privacy

Each user's data is isolated by row-level security — nobody else can read your entities, receipts, or trips.

  • Authentication uses email + password with optional Google sign-in.
  • Receipts are stored in a private bucket with signed-URL access.
  • You can change your password or sign out from Settings.
