Dis/Assemble is the documentation tool for anyone who takes things apart and needs to put them back together — bicycles, watches, electronics, furniture, vintage radios, anything. Photograph each step as you remove a part. Note the bolts, the springs, the order. Build a visual trail you can walk back when it's time to reassemble. Never lose your way mid-project again. KEY FEATURES • Step-by-step photo logs — capture every move you make, with notes • Parts inventory — track every screw, washer, gasket, and component • Categories and folders — organize multiple projects however you like • PDF export — share teardown notes or archive them as PDFs • Works fully offline — no account required, no internet needed • Native iOS design with beautiful Liquid Glass aesthetics • Available in 34 languages PERFECT FOR • Bike mechanics building, repairing, or restoring • Watchmakers and jewelers handling tiny components • Vintage electronics and audio restoration • Furniture and antique refinishing • DIY home and appliance repair • Anyone who's ever lost a critical screw mid-disassembly PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN Your projects, photos, and notes never leave your device.
