## What is Fettle?

Fettle is the tool inventory that works across every brand in your workshop.

Snap a photo of any power tool or hand tool and Fettle identifies the brand and model, then files it with its photos, purchase details, serial number and storage location. Your whole kit, searchable in seconds.

BATTERY COMPATIBILITY, ACROSS BRANDS
Fettle knows which batteries fit which tools - across Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, Ryobi, Bosch and more. See every tool on a platform before you buy another battery, and spot the platforms you are over- or under-invested in.

INSURANCE-READY RECORDS
One tap exports a complete, photo-backed inventory of your tools with serial numbers and purchase details - exactly what your insurer asks for after a break-in, and exactly what you can never assemble afterwards.

NEVER LOSE A LENT TOOL AGAIN
Lend a tool, log who has it, and send them a friendly reminder on WhatsApp. The lending ledger remembers so you do not have to.

KNOW WHAT YOU NEED FOR THE JOB
Pick a job - oil change, TV wall mount, deck repair and more - and Fettle checks your inventory against the kit list: what you own, what you are missing.

CATALOGUE A WHOLE KIT IN ONE PHOTO
Got more than one tool to add? Switch to Multiple tools mode and photograph everything at once - tools on a bench, or even the box or manual for a multi-piece set. Fettle sorts out what is what, so you are not adding thirty tools one at a time.

PLUS
- Scan a receipt to log purchase price and date automatically
- Maintenance log for blades, brushes, filters and servicing
- Storage locations with an audit mode for shed stocktakes
- Works offline - your inventory is always readable
- No ads, no ad tracking, your data stays yours

FREE TO START
The free tier includes 5 tools, 5 AI identifications, the full cross-brand battery matrix and 3 Ask-your-toolbox questions a month. Fettle Pro (annual subscription) unlocks unlimited tools and photos, 100 AI identifications a month, full job-kit matching, the lending tracker, insurance PDF export and 100 Ask-your-toolbox questions a month.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-05

Guided Jobs. Pick a job and Fettle walks it with you, from what you need through setup to step-by-step work, checked against the tools you actually own. Twenty jobs and eighteen tool guides, free on every account, and they work with no signal.

Tool Coach. Straight answers on the tool in your hand: what it is for, how to set it up, and when it is the wrong tool for the job.

Fettle now speaks German and French, guided jobs and tool guides included. Pick a language in Settings, or let the app follow your device.

The Proof Pack. The insurance export is now a clearer, photo-backed ownership record: serial numbers, purchase details and a list of what documentation you are missing.

The spirit level is now a slide-out you can pull from any tab, so it is there when you are holding something against a wall - and it has a fresh look.

A round of smaller fixes and polish throughout.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-02

Add your own brands. If a tool is not one of the brands Fettle already knows, you can now type your own, and it stays in your list for every tool you add after that.

Guided projects now have their own tab: step-by-step jobs that tell you which tools you need before you start.

A guided tour on first launch that walks you through the whole app, section by section, so you know what is where before you start.

New illustrations on empty screens, so a section you have not filled in yet still looks finished.

Also in this release:
- The Tools grid lays out correctly in two columns.
- An evenly spaced tab bar, with Add moved to the header where it is easier to reach.
- Text fields are now announced properly by VoiceOver.
- Assorted smaller fixes.
