## What is Tune?

Track every vehicle's maintenance from one garage. Decode a VIN by typing it in or photographing the plate, log service as you go, and get a heads-up before an oil change, tire rotation, registration renewal — or an open safety recall — sneaks up on you.

KEY FEATURES
• VIN decode — type a 17-character VIN or photograph the plate/label; on-device text recognition reads it for you
• Recall lookup — checks NHTSA's public recall database for your exact vehicle automatically
• Service log — track oil changes, tire rotations, registration renewals, and anything else, with mileage and cost
• Live due-date & due-mileage tracking — countdowns update as you log service or update your odometer
• Local reminders — a notification ahead of a registration renewal, or the moment an open recall is found
• Multi-vehicle garage — track every car, truck, or motorcycle you own in one place (Premium)

PRIVACY
Tune-Up has no backend server, no analytics, and no user accounts. Every vehicle you track — nickname, VIN, mileage, service history — stays in local storage on your device. The one exception: when you decode a VIN or check for recalls, Tune-Up sends that lookup to NHTSA's free public API (a U.S. government service) to get the answer back — the same as looking it up on NHTSA's own website. Nothing else leaves your phone.

FREE TO START
Track one vehicle at no cost. Tune-Up Premium unlocks unlimited vehicles in the same garage — one subscription covers every car in the household.
