How does Driving Log help in Alabama?

Driving Log tracks each drive with its day and night minutes and, where Alabama sets a numeric target, shows the time you drove beside the time that counts under the configured rules — with the reason whenever they differ. The core app is free, keeps everything on your device and private iCloud, and needs no account. A printable record of every entry is included; sourced worksheet layouts for several states are part of the one-time Pro upgrade.

Driving Log is an independent app and this page is general information, not legal advice. The app does not produce official state forms and says so on every document it prints. Requirements are summarised from the official sources linked above and can change; your state's own instructions always take precedence.
