75 Hours
Seventy-five hours,
logged properly.
The South Australian learner driver logbook that works with no signal, gets signed on the spot, and prints exactly what you have to hand in.
For iPhone · iOS 18 or later · Apple Watch companion included
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.
- Live Activity and Dynamic Island keep the running timer visible with the screen off.
- Start it from your wrist or from Siri — all three go through the same rules, so nothing is classified differently.
- Forgot to log one? Add a past drive by hand in about twenty seconds.
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.
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.
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 calculation runs on the device using the NOAA solar algorithm, so it is just as exact on a gravel road two hours from a phone tower as it is in the city.
1 June
1 January
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.
Everything else
Built for the way the hours actually get logged.
Suburbs without a signal
Gazetted boundaries for all 15,334 Australian localities ship inside the app. The suburb is worked out on the device, in microseconds, with the network off.
Signatures done properly
Captured as stroke geometry rather than pictures, so they stay crisp in a small cell at print resolution — and never stored and re-stamped onto a later drive. Names and licence numbers are saved; the signature is drawn fresh every time.
Visible with the screen off
A Live Activity keeps the running drive on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and a Home Screen widget shows progress toward both requirements without opening anything.
Routes drawn as you go
Every drive can be recorded and drawn on a map — quietly satisfying to look back through. Prefer nothing fetched? Switch to a traced line, or turn recording off entirely.
Start and stop from your wrist
The Apple Watch app shows progress at a glance and starts or finishes a drive without taking the phone out. It holds no logbook of its own.
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. Split a 150-minute drive and you still have 150 minutes.
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.
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.
- 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.
Contact
Something wrong? Tell me.
75 Hours is made by one person in South Australia. If an entry printed oddly, a suburb came out wrong, or the app lost something it shouldn't have, I'd genuinely like to know — that's how it gets fixed.
Before you write
Your logbook never leaves your phone, so I can't look up your account, restore your hours, or see your drives — there is nothing on my end to look at. If you're changing phones, take a backup first: Settings → Backup and restore.
