Bikes: More bikes than riders

Android app that can track mileage on multiple bikes?

This may be an obscure question...I gather the use case is limited, because I haven't found much using the Googles.

I used to use Strava and have nothing against it, other than I just quit wanting to mount my large phone to the handlebar all the time. I moved to separate bike computers, but that got expensive/annoying to have with multiple bikes. So I'm interested in going back to a phone-based app, and I have a much smaller phone at my disposal to use expressly for this (a 3.3" Palm phone).

I don't care about the social aspect of apps like Strava, or setting routes/tracks/goals, etc. I know where I like to ride and my motivation comes from within, not from a phone app. All I'm looking for is the ability to establish bike "profiles" in an app and have the app track mileage on my bikes separately. Maybe I'm riding a 10 mile loop on my hybrid today...I want to select that bike in the app and track the mileage for that bike. Or maybe I'm doing some mountain biking...I want to select that bike in the app and track mileage for it.

As I recall, Strava used to do this, but Strava also has all the social stuff and I don't care for that if I don't need to use it. I've found a few apps like Bikeometer and Ride with GPS, but neither seem to let me establish different bike profiles in the app and choose the piece I'm riding that day.

Is Strava the only app that allows me to create equipment profiles and keep the "odometer" separate for each bike?

Many thanks in advance. (And I will pay for an app if it has the functions I want.)
