The care plan lists each service with its interval and when it comes due.

01 / A care plan that knows your car

Due by date. Or by miles.

Tell Ignition roughly when each job was last done and it works out what is next. Set every service to come due by date, by mileage, or whichever arrives first, then get a reminder before an oil change, tire rotation or inspection slips past.

  • Add your car by scanning the VIN, or pick year, make and model
  • See what is due soon, what can wait and what is overdue
  • A quick weekly odometer check-in keeps due dates honest

02 / Every service, upgrade and fill-up

Snap the receipt. Done.

Record maintenance, repairs, mods and parts with mileage, cost and notes. Scan a receipt and Ignition fills in the date, odometer and total, and keeps the photo with the job it belongs to.

Text is read on your iPhone with Apple’s Vision framework. Check the filled-in numbers before you save.

03 / Fuel economy and real costs

Real MPG. Real costs.

Log fill-ups and see MPG calculated between full tanks. Watch fuel and service spending side by side, and find out what your car really costs to own.

04 / The rest of car ownership

Paperwork, miles and milestones.

05 / Safety recalls

Check your car against NHTSA.

Look up open recalls for your car’s make, model and year in the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database, free. See the risk and the remedy. With Pro, Ignition checks again every few days when iOS allows and tells you when it finds a new one.

Recall data comes from NHTSA. Confirm any recall and its repair with your dealer.

What can I use for free?

One car with its care plan, service and fuel log, reminders, Glovebox documents, weekly odometer check-ins, trophies and manual NHTSA recall checks. Receipt smart fill works 5 times on the free plan; dashboard and document scans stay free.

What does Ignition Pro add?

Unlimited cars, the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule, automatic recall checks, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, iCloud sync, unlimited receipt smart fills, a service history PDF and cost breakdowns by category and per mile.

Does Ignition need an account?

No. There is no sign-in. Your records live on your iPhone, and with Pro they also sync through your own private iCloud database.

Are scans read on my phone?

Yes. Receipt, odometer and document text is read on your iPhone with Apple’s Vision and VisionKit frameworks. Photos stay with your records on the device, or in your private iCloud with Pro.

How do recall checks work?

Ignition asks the U.S. NHTSA recall service about your car’s make, model and year. Pro checks again every few days when iOS allows background refresh, and notifies you when a check finds a new recall. Always confirm a recall with your dealer.

What happens if Pro ends?

Everything you logged stays on your iPhone and stays yours. Your first car keeps working on the free plan. Extra cars are parked: their history stays readable, while logging and reminders for them return with Pro.

Oil change due? Ignition knows.
