Propane Logbook
Your Complete Propane Logbook — Always in Your Pocket
PropanePal is the digital replacement for a paper propane log. Keep a complete, searchable record of gauge readings, deliveries, refills, spending, and supplier information for every tank — organized, safe, and always with you on your iPhone.
Complete records
Every Piece of Propane Information, Organized
A good propane logbook captures more than just delivery dates. PropanePal records the complete picture: gauge readings before and after deliveries, the exact gallons and cost of each delivery, the supplier who made the delivery, whether your tank is leased or owned, and any notes you want to add. Every entry is timestamped and searchable.
This is particularly useful when you need to look something up quickly — like when you're on the phone with your supplier and need your account number, or when you're doing annual home accounting and need to add up all your propane costs for the year.
- Gauge reading log with full history
- Delivery log: date, gallons, cost, fees, supplier
- Refill log for portable cylinders
- Supplier contact and account info per tank
- Notes field on every entry
Better than paper
Why a Digital Logbook Beats Paper or Spreadsheets
A paper propane log works — until you lose the notebook, can't read your own handwriting, or need to quickly calculate how many gallons you used last year. Spreadsheets are better, but they require manual calculations, offer no reminders, and don't live on your phone when you're standing next to your tank.
PropanePal is designed specifically for propane. There are no blank fields to fill in from scratch — every data point has a dedicated field. The app calculates what it can (usage rate, price per gallon, days to reorder) and presents the results without any manual effort on your part.
- Purpose-built fields for propane data — no blank templates
- Automatic calculations: usage rate, $/gal, days to reorder
- Always with you on your iPhone — no notebook to carry
- Data stored locally: no account required, nothing is sold
FAQ
Propane logbook questions
What does PropanePal record and store?
PropanePal records gauge readings (with date and timestamp), propane deliveries (date, gallons, cost, fees, supplier), propane refills for portable cylinders, price per gallon history, and supplier contact information. All records are stored locally on your iPhone.
Is PropanePal better than a paper propane log?
PropanePal calculates usage rates, predicts reorder dates, and keeps records safely on your phone — things a paper log can't do. You also can't lose your phone the way you can lose a notebook. Paper logs require you to do all the math yourself and can't send reminders.
Does my propane data sync to the cloud?
Free users store all data locally on their iPhone — nothing leaves your device. Premium subscribers can optionally enable iCloud sync, which stores your data in your personal iCloud account and syncs across your devices if you upgrade to a new phone.
Can I compare PropanePal to using a spreadsheet?
See our full comparison: PropanePal vs Spreadsheets. The short version: spreadsheets can hold your data but require manual calculations, offer no reminders, don't work offline on your phone without setup, and aren't purpose-built for propane. PropanePal handles all the calculations automatically and is always ready in your pocket.
