Forgot to hit record? No problem.

You drove 45 minutes to grandma's house and didn't open the app. It happens. Moda's manual entry lets you log that session after the fact so nothing goes to waste.

One button, same form

Right on the start screen, there's a "Log Past Session" button. Tap it and you get the same editor you'd see after a live session. Date and time. Duration. Supervisor. Weather. Road type. Skills practiced. Everything.

The only difference? No GPS data gets attached. That means no distance or speed calculations. But the hours still count — and hours are what your state cares about.

Smart defaults save time

If you only have one supervisor set up (most families do), Moda auto-selects them. One less thing to tap. Pick any past date — last Tuesday, two weeks ago, whenever the session happened.

Duration tops out at 8 hours per entry. That's a full day of driving practice and more than anyone does in a single session. Day or night? Moda checks the date and time you picked and figures it out automatically. Drove at dusk and want to count it as night? Override it manually.

Counts the same as live

Manual entries appear in your session list right alongside live-tracked sessions. They count toward your state's hour requirements the same way. Night hours. Bad weather hours. Highway hours. All of it.

The session gets marked as a manual entry internally, so you can tell them apart. But for progress tracking, a logged hour is a logged hour.

Why this matters

Paper logs have one advantage over apps: you can fill them in later. We didn't want Moda to lose that. Some families drive 30 minutes before remembering the app exists. Some start using Moda halfway through their permit period and need to backfill sessions from the first few months.

Manual entry handles both cases. No hours left behind.
