This little app will assist you in locating a lost Oura ring by searching for its Bluetooth signal. It saves you from dissecting the vacuum cleaner or combing through your high pile rug. The official Oura app recently added a feature, having the same name as this app, that can help you find a lost ring by displaying its last known location on a map. In contrast, this app provides a Bluetooth signal strength indicator, which is much more helpful when your ring is lost under a roof.

About

GarageBuddy AI

Features
Read full description

GarageBuddy is an AI-assisted helper for the moment your car does something you cannot explain. Describe the symptom in your own words and get back a ranked list of likely causes, the cheapest check to run first, and a straight answer on whether it is safe to keep driving. WHAT IT DOES Describe a symptom "Brakes feel spongy." "Check engine light came on at highway speed." "Grinding when I turn left." GarageBuddy ranks the likely causes, explains why each one fits, and tells you which one to check first and whether it is a do-it-yourself job. Drive it or park it Every diagnosis comes with a verdict: OK to drive, short trips only, or do not drive it. Brake, steering, and fuel-smell complaints are never waved through on a thin description. Honest confidence You see how sure the assistant is and why. If it needs more information it asks a question you can answer in place, instead of guessing. Snap a photo Photograph a leak, a worn part, or a warning light and the same assistant tells you what it can and cannot see. Identify the vehicle Scan a license plate or the VIN sticker with your camera, or type the VIN. Year, make, model, and engine are filled in from public NHTSA data. Read trouble codes (optional hardware) Pair an ELM327-style Bluetooth OBD-II adapter to read stored check-engine codes on most cars built since 1996. Codes the adapter actually reads are used in the diagnosis; nothing is invented. Recalls and complaint patterns Open safety recalls and owner complaint trends for your vehicle, from the NHTSA database. Keep your garage Save every vehicle in the household, switch between them, and look back at past diagnoses. All of it stays on your device. Find the parts Each diagnosis suggests what to search for, with links to Amazon and eBay listings. WHO IT'S FOR First-time owners who want a straight answer before they call a shop, and DIY mechanics who want a second opinion before ordering parts. PRIVACY No account. Your vehicle list and history live on your phone. A diagnosis sends your description, vehicle, any codes read, and the photo you chose to our AI service to produce the answer, and nothing else. We do not track your location, run advertising trackers, or sell your data. GarageBuddy gives general information to help you understand your vehicle. It is not a substitute for inspection by a qualified mechanic. As an Amazon Associate, Odam Solutions earns from qualifying purchases. Built by Odam Solutions LLC in Washington state.
