Was Skeptical, not anymore

“Pulled the flights out cleanly got the routes and times right. Had to fix just one thing, but it was way faster than typing it all in. Solid app”

Privacy

Your logbook stays yours.

TopLog uploads photos over HTTPS, strips embedded camera metadata during processing, stores files in encrypted cloud infrastructure, and uses them only to extract your logbook entries. We do not sell your data or use your photos to train our own models.

What it captures

What TopLog reads from your logbook photo

TopLog reads the fields pilots already write on paper and turns them into structured digital entries.

Dates and routes

Reads the flight date, departure, arrival, and route straight from the page.

Aircraft details

Captures aircraft type and registration from your entries.

Flight time

Pulls total time and other time fields into the entry.

Crew and role details

Captures names, roles, and crew notes recorded with the flight.

Notes and remarks

Keeps your notes and remarks with the entry, so context is never left behind in the photo.

Editable digital entries

Every photo becomes a digital entry you can edit, complete, and save to your logbook.

Extraction quality depends on photo clarity and handwriting, so every entry comes to you as a draft to review and confirm before it’s saved. You always have the final say.

Export

Your hours, in the format the moment requires

PDF

Premium PDF exports

On plans that include export, create a clean, professionally formatted PDF of your flight history to print, attach to an application, or hand across the table.

CSV

CSV that travels

On plans that include export, create structured CSV files for spreadsheets, backups, and carefully reviewed migration workflows.

ForeFlight

ForeFlight import-template CSV

On plans that include export, create a TopLog CSV arranged for review against ForeFlight's import template before relying on moved records.

Sources and comparison notes

Built by a pilot, shaped by your feedback

ATPL · Airbus A330 · 10+ years in aviation

I started taking digital backups seriously after a paper logbook was stolen. Getting the hours back together was possible, but it meant digging through old records instead of just opening a clean backup.

That is the whole point here: get the entries off paper, review them properly, keep the logbook backed up on iOS and web, and export it when someone asks for your records.

TopLog is actively developed by an airline pilot and software developer. I read every support email and feature request myself and aim to reply promptly. If something would make your logbook easier to use, I'd like to hear about it.

Frequently asked questions

What is TopLog?

TopLog helps turn your paper pilot logbook into a maintained digital one. Use iOS to photograph paper entries, then review, organize, and filter records. Paid plans add PDF, CSV, and ForeFlight-template export.

How does TopLog work?

Take a photo of a page in your paper pilot logbook. The app reads the handwriting and drafts the flight details, including date, aircraft, route, and flight time when visible. You confirm or edit what it found, and the entry is saved.

What flight details does the AI pull out of my logbook?

The standard fields you'd find on a paper logbook page: date, aircraft type, aircraft identifier, route, crew details, and total flight time when those fields are visible. Anything the AI gets wrong is editable before you save.

Does it work with handwritten logbook entries?

Yes. Reading handwritten paper logbook entries is the whole point of the app. Clear photos and legible handwriting work best, and you can correct anything that looks off before saving.

Does TopLog replace my official logbook?

No. Treat the AI extraction as a faster draft, not an unchecked official record. You should review every entry and keep whatever original records you need for your own regulatory, training, or employer requirements.

How accurate is the AI extraction?

Accuracy depends on photo quality, handwriting, lighting, and page layout. TopLog is designed to reduce manual typing, but the pilot review step is there because logbook details still need human confirmation.

Who is TopLog built for?

Anyone who keeps a paper logbook. Student pilots clocking training hours, CFIs, private pilots, and commercial pilots tracking time for currency or a career move.

Can I export or filter my logbook?

The web logbook includes filtering on every plan. PDF, CSV, and ForeFlight import-template export are available on paid plans for backups, applications, interviews, spreadsheets, or personal review.

Can I import from ForeFlight, LogTen, or MyFlightbook?

Yes. On iOS and web, import your ForeFlight CSV, LogTen tab-delimited TXT, MyFlightbook export, or your own spreadsheet. Check the interpreted rows and any flagged information before saving. Saving spreadsheet imports is included with Standard and Unlimited.

How much does TopLog cost?

TopLog is free to download and lets you scan and save up to 25 logbook entries. Annual paid plans add more scanning, unlimited manual entries, spreadsheet import, and PDF and CSV export. See the Pricing page for current prices.

Is my logbook data backed up and synced across devices?

Yes. Your flight history is backed up to the cloud and available when you sign in, including from the web logbook.

Is TopLog available on web and Android?

TopLog is available on iOS and as a web logbook. Android is on the roadmap.
