Could you build this?
Partial The cost-per-trip UI and expense math are simple, but automatic drive detection on iPhone depends on background location and motion APIs that are tricky to make reliable and battery-efficient. Vibe coding can get a prototype working, but production-grade trip detection needs iOS expertise and real-world testing.
What it would actually take: The stack is native Swift with CoreLocation (significant-change and background updates) and CoreMotion activity classification to detect drives, plus Core Data or SQLite for trips and a cost model. The hard part is trip detection accuracy and battery use across iOS versions and driving conditions, which requires iterative field testing and an experienced iOS engineer.
