TachoClear: Drivers' Hours UK

How long can you keep driving today? When is your break due — and what does tonight's rest have to be? TachoClear answers, and shows you the rule that says so.

Built for UK goods-vehicle drivers under the assimilated (EU-derived) drivers' hours rules and the Road Transport (Working Time) Regulations 2005, with GB domestic and PSV night-work settings included. Made for the people with no transport manager watching their back — agency drivers and new passes especially.

WHAT IT DOES

• Live shift tracking — one tap to switch between driving, other work, POA, break and rest

• Drive Detection — optional automatic driving/work switching. Motion-first, GPS only to confirm, off by default, and anything it gets wrong is corrected in two taps

• Break countdowns — the 4.5-hour driving clock and the separate working-time break rules, both tracked, clearly labelled

• Split breaks done right — 15 then 30, and it tells you when a split won't qualify

• Daily rest options — 11h, reduced 9h (max 3 between weekly rests — your budget shown) or 3+9 split, each with its consequences

• Weekly rest — the six-day deadline, reduced rest, and a compensation ledger with the payback deadline

• Working Time — the 60-hour week cap, your average against the 48-hour limit, night-work rules, POA correctly excluded

• Forward planner — "if I start at 06:00…" gives latest break, latest finish, earliest next start

• Next available start time — shown after every shift

• Lock Screen countdown — your next deadline on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, no unlocking needed

• Break-complete alert — take your 45, and the app tells you when it counts

• Fix anything — every entry can be edited, split or corrected, with undo

• Plain-English rules library — split breaks, POA vs break, multi-manning, ferry rules, mixed GB days and more, offline, with sources and worked examples

• PDF and CSV export of your log — included, not an add-on
