Start a trip
Add at least one vehicle in Settings and optionally mark it as the default. In Trips, add a one-way or round trip. Round trips provide separate Going and Return legs. Open a leg's stop actions to add a drive or charging stop.
TripWatt Support
Practical help for logging trips, reviewing calculations, syncing records, and moving your data.
Missing calculations?
Calculated values appear only when the needed entries exist. Charging power needs energy added and charging time above zero. Cost per kWh needs cost and energy above zero. Estimated energy use and efficiency need battery capacity plus valid starting and arrival charge levels.
iCloud is not updating
Confirm both devices use the same iCloud account and have iCloud available. In TripWatt Settings, verify iCloud Sync is enabled. A change to this switch takes effect the next time TripWatt opens, so close and reopen the app. Network access may be needed for Apple CloudKit to synchronize.
Use data on one device
Turn off iCloud Sync in Settings and reopen TripWatt. The app then uses its on-device SwiftData store without CloudKit synchronization. Turning sync off does not promise removal of copies Apple may already hold; manage iCloud data through Apple's account and device controls.
Export or share
From Settings, export a spreadsheet for one row per stop or export a full backup. From a trip, use Share Trip Summary for readable text. The destination you choose may receive the exported content under that destination's own privacy practices.
Restore a backup carefully
Import Backup accepts a TripWatt CSV backup. After confirmation, it replaces current vehicles, trips, unit, and currency settings on the device. Export a current backup first if you might need those records later.
