## What is Garage Minder?

Garage Minder keeps vehicle maintenance organized without turning it into a spreadsheet project.

Add each car, truck, motorcycle, or other vehicle in your garage, then track reminders, fluid specs, mileage, and service history from one clean dashboard. Scan or paste a VIN to prefill vehicle details, review generated maintenance schedules before saving, and keep records current as work gets done.

Garage Minder helps you:

- See what is overdue, due soon, and on track
- Get a schedule built for your actual vehicle — gas, diesel, hybrid, plug-in, or electric; 2WD or 4WD; automatic, CVT, or manual
- Shorten every interval to the severe-service schedule if you tow, plow, or mostly drive short trips
- Track items that come due by date as well as by mileage, whichever arrives first
- Work in miles or kilometers — your choice, everywhere
- Track oil changes, filters, tires, fluids, inspections, and custom reminders
- Log completed service with mileage, notes, and optional costs
- Snap or choose a photo of each vehicle, with automatic background removal
- Update your odometer by typing it or scanning the dash with the camera
- Store fluid specs, quantities, and drain-plug socket sizes where you can find them later
- Hand a buyer a printable service history when you sell a vehicle, or export everything as JSON or CSV
- Sync privately with iCloud when available, with local storage fallback

Whether you maintain one daily driver or a whole household garage, Garage Minder gives you a practical place to keep the details that usually get scattered across glovebox notes, receipts, and memory.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.5 — 2026-08-08

• Far more accurate maintenance schedules — Garage Minder now works out what kind of vehicle you have (gas, diesel, hybrid, plug-in, electric; car, truck, crossover; 2WD or 4WD; automatic, CVT or manual) and builds the schedule around it. An EV no longer gets spark plugs, a CVT gets CVT fluid, and a 4WD truck gets its transfer case and both differentials
• Tell it if you tow, plow, or mostly do short trips and every affected interval shortens to the manufacturer's severe-service figures
• Time-based reminders — brake fluid every 3 years, coolant every 5. Whichever comes first, miles or months, is what you see, and date-based items now remind you on their own
• Regenerating a schedule keeps your service history. Previously every item was reset as though it had just been done
• Hand over one vehicle's records when you sell it — a printable service-history PDF, plus JSON and CSV, from the vehicle's ••• menu
• Small fixes and polish

### 1.4 — 2026-07-30

• Miles or kilometers — switch units anytime in Settings, and every odometer
reading, interval, and reminder follows your choice
• Scan your odometer — snap a photo of the dash and Garage Minder reads the
mileage for you to confirm, no typing required
• Drain plug socket sizes — record the socket for each fluid's drain plug so
it's right there when you're under the vehicle
• Deleting a service log entry now automatically rolls its reminder back
• Small fixes and polish

### 1.3 — 2026-07-16

• Take vehicle photos with your camera — snap a photo while adding a vehicle
  or anytime from the vehicle's options, with automatic background removal
• Faster editing — press and hold a vehicle's header (or use its new menu
  option) to jump straight to Edit Vehicle
• A new branded launch screen
• Small fixes and polish

### 1.2 — 2026-07-10
