    Do you track your motoring costs, or prefer not to know?

    I understand — that's how I think, while my neighbour thinks differently)) My goal is simply to find like-minded people or those who find this useful All data is stored locally on the user's phone. You can manually create a backup and even save it to a USB drive if you want. I've considered...

    Do you track your motoring costs, or prefer not to know?

    But going to the shops can be done on foot, by public transport, or by taxi — there are plenty of alternatives. That's why I think that if you choose to use the car, those costs should be counted as motoring expenses. The app also lets you create templates, so if the same amount comes up...

    Do you track your motoring costs, or prefer not to know?

    I understand, but parts, insurance, and fuel aren't the only major expenses. For example, paying for parking in a city centre for 1–2 hours is also a cost, yet for some reason most people don't take it into account. The same applies to electric cars as well.

    Do you track your motoring costs, or prefer not to know?

    I used to think the same — I always had a rough idea of what things cost. But I was genuinely surprised when I started looking at the real numbers and realised that sometimes taking a taxi was cheaper for me, because the cost per km of owning and running the car was higher

    Thank you very much for the feedback. It’s really useful to hear an outside opinion, and I’d like to explain why I made it this way: About tyre size — yes, you’re right, it is written on the tyres. I even took a photo so I could keep the tyre size handy, but that photo quickly got lost among...

    Do you track your motoring costs, or prefer not to know?

    Yes, I understand the marketing problem — that’s definitely not an easy task. You only need to add a car first. You can enter just the make and model; the other fields are optional. For example, why ask for tyre size? Personally, I always forget that information, so it’s easier for me to open...

    Do you track your motoring costs, or prefer not to know?

    I just started with cars. I spent a long time looking for something that gives a full picture of vehicle costs, fuel prices in one place, and the ability to call roadside assistance or a tow truck if needed — but I couldn't find it all in one app, so I decided to build it myself

    The app is much more convenient for day-to-day use: you refuel — record it straight away, pay for parking — open the app and add the expense. You can also attach receipt photos, service records, and keep everything linked to the right vehicle

    Not only business owners, but for a taxi company with 25+ cars it can be especially useful

    Do you track your motoring costs, or prefer not to know?

    Fair point if we're only talking about accounting Kilvo isn't meant to replace that — it's designed to help manage the vehicle itself: mileage, maintenance, reminders, service history, and the real cost of ownership, all in one place

    Do you track your motoring costs, or prefer not to know?

    Hi everyone, I started building Kilvo because I realised I honestly had no clue how much my car was costing me. You notice the fuel, but then there's servicing, tyres, MOTs, insurance and all the other bits that somehow empty your wallet without you really noticing. I used to keep random notes...

    Mobile app development

    I'd say don't overcomplicate it. Watch a few real people use the app without any explanation - you'll quickly see what's confusing.
