GarageKeeper is a local-first maintenance tracker for your personal garage. Add your vehicles, track mileage, plan recurring maintenance, log service history, attach receipt photos, and export records when you need them. GarageKeeper also keeps source labels visible, so you can tell whether a task came from your own entry, a generic starter template, an owner's manual import, or another reviewed source. Features: - Vehicle profiles with mileage tracking - Optional GarageKeeper Pro one-time unlock for unlimited vehicles and advanced tools - Maintenance tasks with mileage and time intervals - Service history logs with receipt/photo attachments - Local reminders for mileage updates and upcoming service - Specs, parts, and fluids catalog - CSV/PDF export - CSV service-record import with review before saving - Owner's manual PDF import with mandatory review - Pro official manual lookup for supported Mopar vehicles - Optional AI-assisted manual extraction using your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key - Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy widgets - Siri Shortcuts for quick maintenance actions GarageKeeper is designed for personal use and privacy. Your garage data is stored on your device by default. The app has no accounts, no analytics SDK, no tracking SDK, no custom backend, and no data sale. GarageKeeper does not claim to provide factory maintenance schedules unless a value is actually sourced from a verified document you provide. Generic templates are starter estimates, VIN decode is identity-only, and imported or AI-assisted data must be reviewed before anything is added.
