MileIQ's answer

MileIQ stands out for its fully automatic mileage tracking. Instead of manually starting and stopping trips, it runs in the background using your phone’s GPS and motion sensors, then lets users classify drives with a simple swipe. It was one of the first apps to popularize passive mileage tracking at scale.

Handler's answer:

MileIQ's answer

MileIQ was founded in 2012 with the goal of removing the hassle of manual mileage logs. The founders saw how outdated spreadsheets and notebooks made reimbursement and tax tracking difficult, so they created an app to automate it. Microsoft acquired MileIQ in 2015, then the company returned to being independent in 2021. In 2025, it was acquired by Bending Spoons.

Handler's answer:

Handler was created because app teams spend too much time manually scrolling TikTok trying to understand what content works. We built it to make TikTok research faster, clearer, and more repeatable for app marketers.
