Your first chapter.
A place for the drives that get you there. Check the weather, head out with your supervising adult, then come back and make it part of your story.
Ready, set, road.
A quick check of the weather before you put your phone away.
Every drive, a page.
Keep reviewed practice, day and night hours, and recorded weather together.
Life happens. Log it.

Real app screens. Fictional practice entries and sample weather shown.
02 / ROOM FOR YOUR PEOPLE
A little support.
A long way.
Let the people cheering you on follow your progress. You choose who gets invited and what they can see.
- Your journal stays yours.Family access is by private invitation, with a read-only view of selected completed drives.
- The route is your call.Routes and reflections stay hidden from your Circle unless you turn them on.
- A quieter kind of app.No ads or analytics SDKs. Just one optional alert: a reminder to finish a stopped drive.
03 / FROM THE ROAD TO THE RECORD
Your practice.
On paper.
The hours are yours. The record should be, too.
Turn reviewed, supervised drives into a neatly organized practice log. Preview and share a PDF, or save spreadsheet and JSON copies to your own iCloud Drive.
Florida goals and its certification attachment are included. Other states use custom goals. Practice logs support your records; they don’t certify licensing eligibility.
A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Before you
head out.
Who is Handbrake for?
Learner drivers recording supervised practice, and the family members they invite to follow along. It’s a native iPhone and iPad app, with iOS 18 or later required.
Does everyone see my driving journal?
No. Your personal journal is saved locally and can sync through your own iCloud account. Your Circle gets a separate, limited view by private invitation. Routes and completed reflections are off by default.
Can I use it without iCloud?
Local practice logging and PDF export work without an iCloud account. Owner synchronization, family sharing, and saving XLSX/JSON copies to iCloud Drive require the appropriate iCloud account.
What about driving reflections?
On supported devices, Handbrake uses the on-device Apple Intelligence model to offer brief, cautious reflections. Other devices use a local explanation. Driving observations are estimates, not a safety score.
How can I try the beta?
The current beta is by individual TestFlight email invitation. Install Apple’s TestFlight app and accept the invitation you receive. Installing Handbrake doesn’t grant access to anyone else’s journal; that takes a separate Circle invitation.
A SMALL BEGINNING. A FAMILY BETA.
See you
down the road.
Handbrake is preparing its first private family beta.
If you’ve been invited, your TestFlight email is your way in.
