Pad

A local-first trip logbook for SARS

Role

Designer & developer

Timeline

2026

Capture a journey in seconds, label it Business or Private, and export a SARS-ready logbook at tax time. Works offline as an installable app, with optional sync between devices.

01

The problem

South Africans claiming travel need a trip-by-trip logbook, but most people reconstruct it from memory in February, with gaps, guessed distances and odometer readings that don't add up.

02

The response

Pad makes logging a habit: quick capture by hand, odometer or GPS, a daily review of pending trips, saved routes, and March-to-February tax years with odometer checks. Exports a business logbook as PDF or CSV, and everything lives on the device first.
