The problem Bitepoint solves
Most instructor diaries are rented. You pay every month. Your pupils live on their server. Stop paying and years of records sit behind a login you no longer have. Bitepoint keeps the whole thing on your phone. On the App Store and Google Play you pay once, and only when you add a sixth pupil. You can export everything as a file on any day you choose.
Your week, in one thumb.
A 24-hour week view made for a phone. Tap any half hour to book. Set a weekly repeat once and it fills the term. Block out the days you are away. A line across today shows where you are right now.
Every pupil on one card.
When they are next in, what they have paid and what they still owe. Their number and pick-up point sit under Contact. Progress against the DVSA test skills, with the official wording one tap away. A short reflection after each lesson, if you want one.
Tomorrow's list, sent from the kerb.
Open Tomorrow and tap Remind on WhatsApp. The message is already written. Pupils never install anything. Money keeps a running note of what came in, what went out and the miles you drove. It is a note for you, not a set of accounts.
Yours. On your phone. Always exportable.
No account
Nothing to sign up for. Open it and start booking.
No server
Your pupils' names and numbers never leave your phone unless you share them.
One file
Export everything from Settings. Import it on a new phone and nothing is missing.
No subscription. Ever.
On the App Store and Google Play, the first five pupils are free. One payment of £29.99 unlocks the rest for good, on either store. The web version is free and holds up to five pupils. It has no way to pay, so for more than five you need the App Store or Google Play app. Never a monthly fee.

Questions instructors actually ask
Is Bitepoint a CRM?
No. It is a diary for one instructor with one car. Lessons, pupils, who has paid and a money note. There is no invoicing, no online booking and no pupil login.
Where is my pupils' data stored?
Only on your phone. There is no account and no server, so it never reaches us. Your phone's own iCloud or Google backup may include it. Tap Back up now in Settings whenever you like to save everything as one file, and bring it back on a new phone with Settings → Restore, spreadsheets & more → Import from a file.
Is there a monthly fee?
No. The first five pupils are free. A one-off in-app payment of £29.99 unlocks the rest for good, on the App Store or Google Play. The web version is free and holds up to five pupils. It has no way to pay, so for more than five you need the App Store or Google Play app. There is no subscription and there never will be.
Do my pupils need to install anything?
No. You send lesson times, tomorrow's reminder or a progress update through WhatsApp or any share sheet. They get a message and nothing to install.
Does it work without signal?
Yes, in the App Store and Google Play apps. Your diary is on your phone, so you can look up, book and change lessons with no signal. You only need a connection to buy unlimited pupils, to restore a purchase, and for WhatsApp to deliver your messages.
What happens when I change phones?
Back up on the old phone (Settings → Back up now) and import the file on the new one (Settings → Restore, spreadsheets & more → Import from a file). If you bought unlimited pupils, tap Restore purchases in Settings with the same Apple Account or Google Account. A purchase made on an iPhone restores on an iPhone, and one made on Android restores on Android.
Who is Bitepoint for?
Driving instructors in the UK who teach on their own, ADIs and PDIs. It is not built for driving schools with many instructors.
Can I see who has paid and who still owes me?
Yes. Each pupil's card shows what they have paid and what they still owe, and a lesson not yet paid for is marked Unpaid. Prepaid hours come off lesson by lesson.
Can it remind my pupils about tomorrow's lessons?
Yes. Open Tomorrow and tap Remind on WhatsApp. The message is already written and you send it yourself, so pupils get an ordinary message and install nothing.
Can I book a weekly lesson once and have it repeat?
Yes. Turn on Repeat when you book, and the lesson goes in every week until the date or the number of lessons you choose. Moving or cancelling one week leaves the rest alone.
What happens to the time when a pupil cancels?
You can keep it as an open slot in your diary and offer it to someone else, for example a pupil from your waiting list.
Does it track progress against the DVSA test skills?
Yes. Each pupil has a progress page with the DVSA driving test skills, and you tap a level for each one as they improve. The DVSA's own wording is one tap away.
Can I keep a note of mileage and expenses?
Yes, as a note for you. Money shows what came in from lessons marked paid, what you spent and the business miles you typed in. It is not a set of accounts, and the app never tracks where the car is.
Who makes Bitepoint?
Rivermap AI Solutions Ltd, a UK private limited company (company no. 16521303) based in Sheffield. Bitepoint was built alongside a working driving instructor.
Is Bitepoint the same as bitepoint.co.uk?
No. Bitepoint is the diary app at bitepoint.app, made by Rivermap AI Solutions Ltd in Sheffield. bitepoint.co.uk is a separate service with a different owner, and the two are not connected.
Does it cover manual and automatic?
Both. Each pupil is tagged manual or automatic, and you set a default when you first open the app.
Is there an iPhone app?
Yes. Bitepoint is on the App Store for iPhone, in the UK. Search the App Store for Bitepoint, or use the App Store badge on bitepoint.app.
Is there an Android version?
Yes. The Android app is on Google Play, in the UK. The iPhone app is on the App Store, and the web version runs on either.
Can I move over from another diary app?
Not automatically yet. Import from a spreadsheet is planned for a later update. For now you add pupils by hand, which for most single-car instructors takes under an hour.
Ready at the kerb.
Bitepoint was built alongside a working driving instructor, who runs their real weeks on it. Get it for iPhone on the App Store or for Android on Google Play, in the UK.
