Drive Log: Permit Hours

Drive Log keeps track of the supervised driving hours your teen needs for their learner's permit - and it can't lose them.

Drive Log is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any government agency, state DMV or licensing authority. Requirements can change - always check your state's official rules before a road test.

No account. Nothing sent to us. Your drives stay on the phone, which means there is no server of ours that can go down, no password to reset, and nobody's hours to lose in a migration.

ONE TAP TO START

Big start button. Tap it when you pull out, tap it when you park. Your hours are saved the moment the drive begins, so closing the app or restarting the phone does not lose a drive.

DAY AND NIGHT, WORKED OUT FOR YOU

Most states require a set number of night hours. Drive Log calculates local sunrise and sunset and splits each drive automatically at sunset and sunrise, or at your state's clock-time rule where it sets one.

BUILT AROUND YOUR STATE'S RULES

All 50 states and DC are included, with the total hours, night hours, and minimum permit-holding period each one asks for. Driver's ed reduces the hours in Oregon, Arizona, Massachusetts and Minnesota - switch it on in Settings.

A PRINTABLE LOG FOR YOUR ROAD TEST

Export a clean, printable log with every drive, day/night totals, your state's requirement and its official source alongside, and a parent or guardian signature line.

NEVER LOSE YOUR HOURS

Back up every drive to a file you keep. Restore it on a new phone. Your drives never pass through us, because there is no us to pass through.

FREE, WITH ONE SMALL BANNER

Free with a small ad banner; a one-time Pro unlock removes ads. No ad shows on the timer screen while a drive is running, and there are no full-screen ads.

DRIVE LOG PRO - one-time purchase, no subscription

- Automatic backup after every drive, kept on this phone and restorable any time from Settings (for a new phone, use Backup to file)

SOURCES

The hour requirements in Drive Log come from each state's own driver licensing agency (DMV or equivalent). Inside the app, every state shows "Official source" with a link to that agency's page, and the same source is printed on the exported log. Examples

- California DMV - https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/driver-education-and-safety/special-interest-driver-guides/teen-drivers/

- Michigan Secretary of State - https://www.michigan.gov/sos/license-id/new-drivers-under-18

- New York State DMV - https://dmv.ny.gov/driver-license/complete-pre-licensing-requirements

- Pennsylvania DMV - https://www.pa.gov/agencies/dmv/driver-services/pennsylvania-drivers-manual/online-drivers-manual/applying-for-a-learners-permit

- Georgia Department of Driver Services - https://dds.georgia.gov/joshuas-law-requirements

Links were checked on 21 October 2026. Where a figure could not be fully confirmed from the official page, the app marks it "Not confirmed - check your DMV".
