Every desk has one thing dragging the rest of it down, and it's rarely the thing you'd guess. GEARIT scores your setup out of 100, works out which single piece of gear is the bottleneck, and tells you what to buy next — so your money goes to the upgrade that actually moves the needle instead of the one that looks exciting. BUILD YOUR SETUP, EXACTLY AS IT IS Search a catalogue of over 2,000 real products — cameras, microphones, capture cards, consoles, monitors, audio interfaces, lights, hubs, headsets, controllers — and wire them together on a board the way they're actually connected on your desk. Every product carries its real ports and real signal directions, so GEARIT refuses connections that wouldn't work in life: an output can't feed another output, and a socket won't take a plug it doesn't physically accept. If it connects here, it connects at home. FIVE PILLARS, ONE SCORE Video. Audio. Lighting. Workflow. Room and position. Each is scored on its own, so you can see instantly that your audio is carrying you while your video is holding you back. GEAR THE APP HAS NEVER HEARD OF Type in something the catalogue doesn't have and GEARIT goes and works it out — real ports, real connection directions, real category — then files it on its maker's own shelf so it behaves exactly like everything else you own. It tells you how confident it is, every time. BUILD A PC TO ANY BUDGET Say what it's for and what you can spend, and GEARIT spends the lot: eight named parts, priced, checked against each other for the things that actually go wrong — the cooler that won't clear the case, the power supply that's fifty watts short, the memory the board won't start with. Swap any part and it checks again. The first build is free. YOUR GEAR FILE Serial numbers, receipts, what you paid, when the warranty runs out, who you lent it to, and what it's worth now. When something is stolen or broken it produces the document an insurer actually asks for, already filled in. BEFORE YOU BUY Point GEARIT at anything and it says whether it joins to the rig you already own, and which socket is in the way when it doesn't. It reads your board, not a spec sheet. THE NUMBERS TO TYPE IN Gain, gate, sample rate, shutter, white balance, where the key light goes — worked out from the gear you actually have, with the reason beside each one, so you can adjust it when your room turns out to be different. A KIT FOR EVERY JOB Name what goes in the bag once. GEARIT works out the leads it needs from your board and flags what you haven't got, so you find out at home rather than on location. SHARE YOUR SETUP Turn your rig into a page with a link, and a ready-made list for a video description. Free, whether you've paid or not. Serial numbers, receipts and prices are never part of what gets sent. WHAT'S FREE The whole catalogue. Search. Finding gear that isn't in it. Building and wiring unlimited setups. Your score and all five pillars. Saved projects. Two products side by side. One complete PC build, every part named and priced. One kit. Sharing your setup as a page. No account, no sign-up, no trial that runs out. THE UNLOCK — ONE PAYMENT The exact piece of gear that's the weak link, and what it's costing you. Your upgrades ranked and phased with real prices, so the cheapest points come first. Three and four products side by side. Every PC you want to build. Your gear file, and the document an insurer asks for. Whether a product fits your rig, before you buy it. The settings for your chain. As many kits as you like. One payment, not a subscription. It doesn't expire, and it restores free on every device signed in to your Apple ID. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No tracking. No analytics. No ads. Your setup is analysed on your phone. Its backup goes to your own iCloud, so it follows your Apple ID — never to us. Works offline — the whole catalogue and the full diagnosis live on your phone. Requires iPhone running iOS 17 or later.

The clearest difference is update cadence: GEARIT at every 4 days against Capture One's every 2 weeks. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
