A little help
for the logbook.

01 · First miles

Getting started

Install your invited build through TestFlight, open Glovebox, and sign in with Apple. A new logbook starts empty. Add a vehicle, then record a fill-up, charge, cost, or note.

Glovebox is currently in beta, with this round focused on iPhone. Family TestFlight access requires Apple’s beta review and an invitation; there is no public signup link yet.

02 · One family, one fleet

Invite your household

In Glovebox, open Settings → invite a member → Invite or manage people. Apple’s sharing sheet handles the invitation and people with access. Each person needs Glovebox installed and their own iCloud account.

Your personal fleet stays separate when you join a shared fleet. A participant can use Leave shared fleet to leave; the owner manages access through Apple’s sharing sheet.

03 · The spreadsheet gets to stay

CSV & Numbers

For a one-time copy, use Settings → Export CSV and choose where to save or share the files.

For a regularly updated copy, use Settings → Spreadsheet mirror:

1. Tap Choose a folder and select a folder in iCloud Drive.
2. Keep Glovebox open while it finishes its initial sync and writes the files. Use Refresh now when you want a fresh copy.
3. In Files, open the generated Glovebox CSV folder. Open activity.csv in Numbers for the readable activity ledger; the other CSVs contain the individual record tables.

For a family spreadsheet, choose one phone to publish the shared fleet, then share that folder through Files. Each phone creates its own generated folder.

“Written locally” confirms the files were saved on that phone. iCloud Drive handles uploading them. Mirroring runs while Glovebox is active; it is not a continuous background backup. Photos and receipt attachments are not included.

04 · Yours to keep

Your data

You can edit or delete individual records in the app. Turning off Spreadsheet mirror stops future updates and leaves existing exported files in place; remove those copies in Files if you no longer want them.

Photos and receipt attachments stay on the device. Fleet data removal in Settings affects the active fleet: an owner’s deletion affects all participants, while a participant’s removal leaves the shared fleet. Read the privacy policy for the full details.
