ShiftTracker, the gig worker earnings tracker built by Lime Logistics Provider Brenden Warn, has surpassed 1,200 registered users and nearly 3,200 recorded shifts, marking a measurable adoption milestone for a tool designed to show rideshare and delivery drivers what they actually earn after accounting for vehicle costs.
Filling a Gap in Gig Worker Visibility
Most gig platforms display gross earnings: the figure before fuel, depreciation, insurance and maintenance are factored in. ShiftTracker addresses that gap. Drivers enter their odometer readings at the start and end of each shift along with what they earned, and ShiftTracker calculates real profit and a true hourly rate after car costs. The approach is manual and odometer-based, which keeps the logging straightforward and verifiable.
The platform works across iPhone, Android and web. Drivers who work multiple platforms, combining rideshare and grocery delivery in a single day, for example, can tag each shift with the apps they used and compare which apps produce the strongest returns per hour.
Odometer Logging and IRS-Ready Reporting
At the core of ShiftTracker is an odometer-based mileage log that records start and end readings for each shift. Those entries feed a Tax Report that uses the split 2026 IRS mileage rate, and drivers can export it as a PDF or CSV file for tax time without a separate spreadsheet or third-party service.
The log is designed for drivers who want a defensible paper trail. Because it's built from odometer entries rather than estimated distances, the figures come from actual vehicle readings rather than route approximations.
"Too many people go into gig work treating it like a job, when they should be running it like a business," said Brenden Warn, founder of ShiftTracker. "The apps show you the most flattering version of your earnings. Then the month ends, there's nothing left over, and you're wondering where it all went. ShiftTracker shows you what your car really costs and what you actually made after those costs, so you can decide whether an app is worth your time."
Comparing Platforms and Finding the Right Hours
Beyond individual shift records, ShiftTracker surfaces patterns across a driver's history. The app lets drivers see which platforms generate the highest real profit after car costs over time and pinpoint the days and hours that consistently produce stronger earnings. For drivers managing their schedule across several apps, that data can inform decisions about when to work and which apps to run, rather than relying on platform figures that don't reflect vehicle expenses.
Brenden Warn developed ShiftTracker while working as a Lime Logistics Provider, a role he has held for about four years.
