Drop a .ddd driver-card download into TachoLens and get a first-look summary of driving sessions, breaks, and weekly totals — patterns to review yourself, not a compliance verdict.

Pull the driver-card download off your tachograph reader the way you always do. TachoLens accepts drag-and-drop or a standard file dialog.
Imports happen locally — no upload, no waiting on a server. Re-importing the same file is a no-op; the history accumulates as you drop in new ones.
Per-day breakdown of driving, work, available time, and rest. Patterns that may point to EU 561/2006 issues are flagged for you to review against the regulation and your raw records. Weekly summaries print cleanly to A4.
Not a generic data viewer. Every panel is shaped by the EU 165/2014 activity model, EU 561/2006 reference rules, and the quirks of Gen-1 and Gen-2 driver cards — surfaced as a starting point for your own review, not as a compliance determination.
Continuous drive, 15+30 split breaks, daily and weekly limits, weekly rest, reduced-rest budgets, extension days. Each finding cites the article of the regulation it's reading so you can verify it yourself.
A 24-hour view of every shift. Driving, work, available, and rest minutes placed against the clock. Qualifying breaks highlighted; potential issues called out in context.
Plot the location samples your tachograph already records. Filter to a single day to retrace a shift, or zoom out to see the whole month.
A clean spreadsheet-style layout for your own records. Print or save to PDF straight from the macOS print dialog. File alongside your manual compliance checks.
Detection is pure-function. Every rule is its own predicate with a code, a severity hint, a regulation reference, and a unit test. No cloud round-trip, no black box.
