Hi StartupBase community! 👋

I built ReClaim Miles after realizing how many contractors, freelancers, and small business owners leave thousands of dollars in vehicle deductions on the table simply because they forgot to run an invasive GPS tracker every time they got behind the wheel.

Traditional solutions like MileIQ and Driversnote require continuous background location surveillance, drain your phone's battery, and lock your history behind monthly recurring subscriptions. Most importantly: they don't solve the problem when tax season arrives and you need to document trips from months ago.

ReClaim Miles takes a fundamentally different, privacy-first approach:

• 100% Local Execution: Runs natively on your Windows PC. No tracking servers, no telemetry, and your location data never touches our cloud.
• Deterministic Route Reconstruction: Uses OCR receipt dates, odometer checkups, and calendar meetings to synthetically recreate realistic routes with organic dwell times matching IRS substantiation rules (26 CFR § 1.274-5).
• Audit-Proof Outputs: Exports one-click Form 4562 deduction ratios and IRS-ready PDF defense packs.
• Lifetime Licensing: Full-featured 14-day evaluation with lifetime licenses available—no endless subscriptions.

I would love to hear your feedback on the workflow and local-first architecture. Feel free to grab the build and test it out!
