75 Hours app icon

Seventy-five hours, logged properly.

The South Australian learner driver logbook for all 75 hours, including the 15 at night. It works with no signal, gets signed on the spot, and prints exactly what you have to hand in.

The 75 Hours home screen: an outer ring showing 51 of 75 hours with the night hours in an inner ring, daytime and night-time totals, and a Start driving button.
A drive in progress at night: a running timer, the starting suburb, and the route drawn on a map, following the roads taken. The logbook screen: drives grouped by month with day and night markers, times and durations. The Log a drive screen with Split at sunset/sunrise switched on: the drive from 5:12 pm to 6:12 pm counted as 60 daytime minutes, and 6:12 pm to 6:42 pm counted as 30 night-time minutes.

Start and finish

Two taps around a drive.

Start the timer when you pull out of the driveway and finish it when you park. The date, the times, the duration and the suburbs you drove between are already filled in. Hand the phone over and your supervising driver signs it there and then.

  • Already started on paper? Enter the hours you've logged so far and they count toward your progress from day one.
  • Forgot to log one? Add a past drive by hand in about twenty seconds.
  • Start it from Siri or Control Centre as well as the app. Every route in goes through the same rules, so nothing is classified differently.

Your logbook

Every drive, grouped by month.

Filter by day or night, see per-month subtotals, and spot at a glance which entries still need something. Anything missing a field is flagged on the home screen and kept out of the printout — so you find out weeks early, not at the counter.

  • Progress toward both requirements — 75 hours total and 15 at night — on the home screen and in a Home Screen widget.
  • A projected finish date based on how much you actually drive, withheld rather than guessed when there isn't enough to go on.
  • Multiple supervising drivers, including interstate and overseas licence details.

Across sunset

One drive, counted as two.

Set off before sunset and park after it and the entry straddles the boundary. 75 Hours works out where sunset actually fell that evening, at that place, and offers to split the drive in two — so the daytime minutes and the night-time minutes each land where they belong.

The Log a drive screen with Split at sunset/sunrise switched on: the drive from 5:12 pm to 6:12 pm counted as 60 daytime minutes, and 6:12 pm to 6:42 pm counted as 30 night-time minutes.
  • You decide whether to split. Nothing is divided behind your back.
  • The minutes always add up — split a 150-minute drive and you still have 150 minutes.
  • Both halves keep the signatures, the suburbs and the conditions from the original entry.

Routes

It draws the road you actually took.

Not a straight line between two suburbs — the road. This is a real drive out of Norwood, recorded by the app: down Kensington Road, along Magill Road, then the climb through Skye toward Norton Summit. Prefer nothing fetched? Switch the map to a traced line, or turn route recording off entirely.

Night driving

It knows where sunset actually fell.

Night driving isn't a clock time. It's between sunset on one day and sunrise on the next — which moves by about three hours across the year. Drive from late afternoon into the evening and 75 Hours works out exactly where the boundary sat and offers to split the entry, so only the minutes after dark count toward your fifteen night hours.

The sun's position is worked out on the phone itself, from the date and where you are, so it is just as exact on a gravel road two hours from a phone tower as it is in the city.

Almost three hours apart. A fixed cutoff would be wrong for half the year.

On your wrist and your Home Screen

Not everything needs the app open.

Start a drive from your watch, and check the numbers without unlocking anything. Both read the same totals the logbook does, so there is never a second version of the truth.

Start and finish a drive from your wrist. The watch keeps no logbook of its own — it asks the phone.

A Live Activity holds the running drive on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so the timer is never a reason to unlock.

Everything else

Built for the way the hours actually get logged.

Suburbs without a signal

The official boundaries of all 15,334 Australian suburbs and localities ship inside the app, so it can tell which one you started and finished in with no signal at all.

Signatures done properly

Kept as the pen strokes themselves rather than as a picture, so they stay sharp in a small box on the printout. Names and licence numbers are saved once; the signature is drawn fresh on every drive and never stamped onto another one.

Conditions filled in for you

Road, weather and traffic are recorded in the codes the form uses, with as many road types per entry as the drive covered. Weather, sun times and road types are suggested from the drive you recorded — or you set them by hand and nothing is fetched at all.

Backups you control

The app keeps rolling snapshots on the device, and you can export a full backup file whenever you like and put it wherever you want.

Whole minutes, always

The form counts whole minutes, so entries are floored on save and split boundaries snap to the minute.

Nothing to set up

Open it, enter your name and permit number, and start driving. No account, no sign-up, no email address, no waiting on a server to answer.

Privacy

Your logbook never leaves your phone. There is nothing in the app that could upload it.

No account. No sign-up. No email address. No analytics. No servers of ours, anywhere.

Three requests, all to Apple

Map images for your route, the weather at the time and place of a drive, and the names of a few roads along it. Each sends a coordinate and a timestamp. Each can be switched off.

Location only while driving

When In Use authorisation only. Recording stops the moment you finish, and the app can't record you when no drive is running.

Nothing to leak

The developer cannot see your hours and has no way to request them. Your logbook is shared only when you export it and send it yourself.

Read the full privacy policy

The printout

The point of the whole app.

When you're done, 75 Hours produces a PDF containing everything a learner logbook printout is required to carry: daytime and night-time hours on separate forms, per-form subtotals, both signatures on every row, and a completed Declaration of Hours page — laid out like the forms in the Driving Companion, so it reads the way the person at the counter expects.

  • Incomplete entries are excluded — the form says they're invalid, so they don't print, and the excluded minutes are stated plainly.
  • Preview it before you print, then share or save it like any other file.
  • Free. The whole app, the export included. No purchase, no subscription, no unlock.

Questions parents ask.

Will Service SA accept the printout?

The PDF carries everything a learner logbook printout is required to carry: daytime and night-time hours on separate forms, subtotals on every page, both signatures on every row and a completed Declaration of Hours, laid out like the forms in the Driving Companion.

75 Hours is an independent app. It is not developed, endorsed or approved by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles, Service SA or the Government of South Australia, and uses no government branding or insignia. Requirements can change, so check the current rules and confirm your printout is acceptable before you submit it.

What does the supervising driver have to do?

Sign on the learner's phone at the end of the drive. They don't install anything or make an account. Their name and licence number are saved the first time, and after that they're handed a locked-down screen showing that one drive and a signature box, with no way into the rest of the app.

We've already logged hours on paper. Do they count?

Yes. Enter the daytime and night-time hours from your paper log book and they count toward your progress straight away. They stay off the PDF, because the app can't vouch for drives it didn't record, so you hand the paper log book in alongside the printout. The export screen shows both figures separately so nothing is missed.

Is it on Android?

Not yet. 75 Hours is for iPhone, on iOS 18 or later, with an Apple Watch app included.

What happens if the phone is lost?

The logbook is only ever on the phone, so there is no copy on a server to restore from. Every so often, create a backup file in Settings > Backup and restore and keep it somewhere other than the phone. It restores the whole logbook onto a new one.

Does it really cost nothing?

Yes. There is no purchase, subscription or unlock anywhere in the app, and no ads. Logging, signing, the PDF and backups are all included.

Something else? Ask the developer.

Your first drive is two taps away.
