ThockLog
Read full descriptionHide full description
The first iOS app built for mechanical keyboard collectors. Track every switch, build, and group buy — in one place. No more switch spreadsheets. No more hunting through forum threads to check a GB status. ThockLog is a purpose-built iOS tracker for the mechanical keyboard hobby. 【What You Can Do】 ▷ Switch Ledger Log every switch you own: brand, name, type (linear / tactile / clicky / silent), quantity, actuation, bottom-out, pre-travel, stem and housing material. Free up to 15 switches. ▷ Lube Record Record your lube mods per switch: lube type (Krytox 205g0, Tribosys 3203, etc.), which parts were lubed (stem / spring / housing top / bottom), film brand, spring type and spec, date, rating, and notes. The mod log that spreadsheets can't match. ▷ Switch Comparison (Pro) Pick two switches and compare specs side by side — actuation, bottom-out, pre-travel, lube, film, spring, rating. Great for deciding "which switch goes in the next build?" ▷ Storage Location Map (Pro) Create a tree of shelves, drawers, and boxes — then assign each switch a location. "Where did I put those Boba U4T?" is no longer a question. ▷ Build Log Record every keyboard build: board name, layout, PCB, plate material, case material, foam, sound character, rating, and which switch / keycap set / stab you used. Free up to 2 builds. ▷ Build Share Card Generate a shareable build image card to post on Reddit, Discord, or Instagram. Free (with watermark) — Pro removes the watermark. ▷ Group Buy Tracker Track every GB from IC through received: IC → GB Open → GB Closed → Manufacturing → Shipped → Received → Delayed. Covers keyboards, keycaps, switches, stabs, cables, and deskmats. Free up to 5 items. ▷ Gear Collection Manage keycap sets (profile, colorway, manufacturer, price, status), stabilizers (brand, mount, lube, mods, rating), cables (vendor, connector type, style, color), and deskmats (brand, size, material) — all in one app. ▷ CSV Export (Pro) Export all your switches, builds, GBs, and gear as CSV files. Your data, your way. 【Who It's For】 · Switch hoarders whose collection has outgrown a spreadsheet · Build loggers who want photos and specs linked to each keyboard · GB waiters tracking orders placed 12 months ago · Anyone who's asked "did I lube these? with what?" 【Your Data Stays on Your Device】 Everything is stored locally on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded to external servers. No account required. No risk of losing your collection data if a service shuts down. 【Pricing】 · Free: 15 switches, 2 builds, 5 group buys, 10 keycap sets, 5 stabs/cables/deskmats. Lube records, specs, and share cards are always free. · ThockLog Pro (one-time purchase): Unlimited everything + switch comparison + storage location map + watermark-free share cards + CSV export. Pay once, yours forever. ---------------------- Developer: Kore Apps Contact: support@kore-apps.com ----------------------
