Know where to drive. Know what you kept.
Demand intelligence, route tracking, and real profit math for gig and 1099 workers — built for people who drive for a living, not for people who tweet about it.
cat features.log
The whole hustle, instrumented.
The gig apps show you gross and call it generous. This one runs the numbers they'd rather you didn't — where demand is, what the drive costs, and what actually lands in your pocket.
[OK] live demand map — surge zones, events, airports, delivery hubs
[OK] predicted surges — weather and event triggers before you head out
[OK] weekly heatmap — the best hours and days to work, learned from data
[OK] AI insights — patterns pulled from your own earnings history
[OK] route tracking — an IRS-ready mileage work log, automatic
[OK] profit per gig — hourly rate and earnings per mile, not gross hype
[OK] expense logging — receipts attached, built for 1099 tax season
[OK] income sync — one ledger across the gig apps you actually run

Who it’s for.
Gig apps tell you what a job pays. They never tell you where to be, or what the shift actually left you with once fuel and miles came out. Gig-Management does both ends: before you drive, a live demand map shows the zones worth sitting in — and after you drive, every route is logged and every gig is costed down to your real hourly rate and earnings per mile.
[>>] multi-platform drivers — rideshare and delivery, more than one app running
[>>] the waiting-and-guessing — drivers picking a spot on instinct and hoping
[>>] 1099 filers — independent contractors who dread the mileage log
[>>] the suspicious — anyone who thinks a “good” shift wasn’t actually good

How it works.
01 · check demand before you drive
The Intelligence Hub maps live and predicted surge zones, today’s events and concerts, airport passenger volume, restaurant and package demand windows, and nearby delivery hubs.
02 · work the hours that pay
A weekly heatmap of the best hours and days, built from real demand rather than a hunch about when it gets busy.
03 · track the route as you go
Each gig is logged with time, duration and miles, producing a work log detailed enough to stand up as IRS mileage reporting.
04 · cost it honestly
Expenses attach to the gig they belong to, receipts and all, against income synced from the apps you actually run.
05 · see what the work really paid
Profit per gig, per platform and per period — with hourly rate and earnings per mile, the two numbers that tell you which work to keep taking.
LAUNCH WINDOW
Testing now, on a real phone, in real traffic.
The panda is field-testing Gig-Management on their own device — real routes, real receipts, real merge lanes. Google Play and the App Store in December 2026. Early-access drivers get launch-day pricing and first crack at the beta.

Common questions.
when can I get Gig-Management?
It is in active development and already in daily use. Google Play and the App Store are both planned for December 2026.
how does it know where the work is?
The Intelligence Hub pulls live and predicted surge zones, today's events and concerts within 30 miles, airport passenger volume, meal and package demand windows, weather triggers, and nearby delivery hubs — then layers your own history on top to show the hours that have actually paid you.
does it work across more than one gig app?
Yes. Income syncs across the platforms you run and expenses attach to the gig they belong to, so you can compare what each app leaves you after fuel and miles rather than what it advertises.
will it help at tax time?
Route tracking produces a work log built for IRS mileage reporting, and expenses are logged by category with receipts attached — so filing means exporting a summary rather than rebuilding a year from bank statements.
what is “earnings per mile”?
What a gig paid divided by the miles it cost you. Alongside your real hourly rate, it is the fastest way to tell a good offer from a busy one.
