Could you build this?
Partial A basic manual logger is trivial, but reliable automatic background driving detection, persistent geofencing, and route tracking without draining iOS battery requires non-trivial native iOS core location expertise.
What it would actually take: The app requires native Swift using iOS CoreLocation (`CLVisit`, `CLLocationManager` with activity type `automotiveNavigation`), CoreMotion (`CMMotionActivityManager`), and on-device Vision/CoreML for receipt OCR. The primary bottleneck is tuning background execution modes, stationary vs. driving state transitions, and GPS accuracy while minimizing battery consumption against strict iOS background throttling limits. Building this reliably demands specialized knowledge of iOS location and motion hardware lifecycles.
