Permit Hours is the teen driving log that turns every practice drive into a DMV-ready record. Tap start, drive, tap stop - your supervised driving hours log fills itself with time, distance, day and night hours, and the route.
Permit Hours is an independent app and is not affiliated with any DMV or government entity.
No ads. No account to create. Your first 5 hours are free.
YOUR STATE'S REQUIREMENT, BUILT IN
All 50 states and DC are included. Pick your state once and Permit Hours loads that state's published requirement - total hours, night hours, and the name of the official form your DMV expects. The progress ring always shows how many hours are left, so nobody has to do the math.
DAY AND NIGHT, COUNTED FOR YOU
Most states require a minimum number of night driving hours. Permit Hours splits every session automatically using sunrise and sunset times for your state - no guessing, no manual toggle, no argument at the DMV desk. It works even if you never turn location on.
THE DRIVE LOGS ITSELF
Start the drive and switch over to your maps app - recording keeps going in the background. Time, distance and route keep adding up. Forgot to log last Tuesday's drive? Add it by hand in a few seconds, and edit any session later.
YOUR ROUTE NEVER LEAVES THE PHONE
Here is what other driving logs will not tell you: Permit Hours keeps GPS routes and location data on your device. Not uploaded, not synced, not written to any log. Hours, dates and supervisor names sync so the whole family stays in step - where your teen drove stays between you and your teen.
ONE LOG, EVERY PARENT
Dad takes the Saturday practice, Mom takes the Tuesday evening drive, and both land in the same log. Share a code and up to 3 people in the family see the same hours on their own phones. Have more than one learner? Each teen keeps a separate state, requirement and history.
DMV-READY PDF IN ONE TAP
Export a clean, printable driving log book - every session with date, start and end time, duration, day or night, distance, weather, supervising driver and notes, plus the totals your examiner is looking for, laid out the way state forms ask for them. Bring it to the appointment and be done.
SWITCHING FROM ANOTHER APP?
Already logged hours somewhere else? Import a PDF export from your old driving log app, review what was found before anything is saved, and keep every hour. The same import brings your own backup onto a new phone.
