Dashboard, Widget & Notifications
Control TrakMiles Pro without opening the app. Home screen widget + smart notifications = hands-free tracking.
What Are the Steps?
The dashboard is the screen you land on, and it is configurable: choose which widgets appear, set the time period each one reports, and install the home screen widget so you can start or stop a trip without opening the app. Notifications cover both mileage tracking and the time clock, which is what keeps short trips from being missed — and forgotten short trips are where most of the deduction is lost.
Can You Run It Without Opening the App?
The TrakMiles Pro home screen widget and smart notifications are designed for gig workers who need speed. Start a trip from your home screen before you pull out of the driveway — the trips people forget are the short ones. Stop it from the notification shade when you park, then classify the trip as business or personal. Classify it with one tap. Check your daily earnings at a glance. All without launching the app.
Combined with automatic trip detection, you can go entire work days without touching the app. Your mileage, earnings, and deductions accumulate in the background while you focus on driving, building the contemporaneous record the IRS asks for.

What can I put on the dashboard?
You choose which widgets appear and what period each covers, so you can surface miles, earnings, expenses or hours for today, this week, this month or the year. It is meant to answer your own questions at a glance.
What does the home screen widget do?
It puts trip control on your phone's home screen, so you can start or stop tracking with one tap without opening the app. That single step removes most of the friction that causes missed trips.
How do I install the home screen widget?
Long-press an empty area of your Android home screen, choose Widgets, find TrakMiles Pro and drag it into place. The tutorial walks through it with audio.
What notifications will I get?
A tracking notification while a trip is running and a time clock notification while a shift is active, both with controls so you can stop without opening the app. They are working controls, not just alerts.
Can I change the time period a widget shows?
Yes. Each widget has its own period setting, so you can watch today's miles next to this month's revenue if that is the comparison that matters to you.
