🚛 TachoCheck — the driver's shoulder app.
Download and read your driver tachograph card — your "tachograph card" — directly from your Android phone, via USB (with a simple reader) or via Bluetooth from the truck's tachograph. No ads, no resale of your data. The content of your card is encrypted (AES-256) on your phone AND backed up in encrypted form in Europe: you can access it on a new phone by logging back in (email + password).
