ReFit is a voice-first documentation tool for mechanics who take things apart and have to put them back together exactly right. As you tear a job down, capture each fastener, part, and component with a photo and a few spoken details. ReFit organizes everything by job → area → component, so reassembly is just working the record in reverse — no guessing which bolt went where. - Voice-first capture — log hardware without putting your tools down - Photograph every fastener and part, organized automatically - Flag items that need replacement - Export a full job to Excel, CSV, JSON, or PDF - Export every photo from a job as a single .zip for your records - Whole-shop ready — jobs, boats, and crew in one place Whether it's a full refit or a routine service, the record is done by the time the job is.
