How it works
Your paper logbook, read in minutes
Every hour a pilot has ever flown usually lives in one stack of paper. It is the one record you cannot reprint, and the one nobody wants to retype. Hobbs takes a photograph of a page and returns structured flights — date, aircraft type, registration, pilot in command, single- and multi-engine time, instrument time, approaches, take-offs and landings, cross-country and route. The full CAR 401 layout, not a rough guess.
-
01
Photograph the page
One page or a two-page spread, held straight above in even light. Hobbs corrects a moderate angle and splits a spread into halves before reading.
-
02
Check what it read
Every field carries its own confidence score. Anything the reading is unsure of is flagged and waits for you — a shaky reading can never slip in silently.
-
03
Confirm, and it's yours
Nothing reaches your logbook until you say so. Once it does, every total on every screen has already updated.
The page checks its own arithmetic
Hobbs totals the flights it read and compares them against the Page Totals line printed in your own handwriting — the page's built-in checksum. When they agree, it says so. When they don't, it tells you which column is off instead of quietly accepting the reading.

Once your hours are in
A logbook that keeps itself
Totals that add themselves up
PIC, night, instrument, cross-country — every category totals itself from your flights, led by one trusted number.
Currency you can trust
Medical, flight review, night and IFR recency — tracked against the rules for your jurisdiction and flagged well before they lapse, not after.
Every flight, on the map
However a flight gets in — photo, FlightRadar24, GPS, CSV or by hand — it lands on the same map.
- Log with no signal. Entries save on the device and sync themselves when you land.
- Detect the flight for you. Hobbs notices the take-off and landing and has a draft waiting; you confirm it.
- Professional exports. Clean, unbranded PDF, CSV and Excel — for a job, a rating, or an insurer.
- A permanent audit trail. Every change is recorded and cannot be edited away, so your logbook stands up as a legal record.
- Certified copies. A tamper-evident export anyone can verify online.
- Your data is yours. A complete machine-readable copy of your whole account, free on every plan.
