Track every switch, build, and group buy for your mechanical keyboard hobby, all in one place. How many switches do you have? Which ones did you lube, and with what? Where is that group buy now? ThockLog keeps the answers on your iPhone instead of in a spreadsheet. 【What You Can Do】 ▷ Switch Ledger Log brand, name, type (linear / tactile / clicky / silent), quantity, actuation, bottom-out, pre-travel, stem and housing material, and a photo. Free up to 15 switches. ▷ Mod Record Record the lube type, lubed parts (stem / spring / housing top / bottom), film brand, spring type and spec, lube date, rating, and notes for each switch. Common lubes and films are suggested as you type. ▷ Switch Compare (Pro) Pick two switches and see actuation, bottom-out, pre-travel, lube, film, spring, and rating side by side. Handy when choosing the switch for your next build. ▷ Storage Locations (Pro) Create shelves, drawers, boxes, and bags, then give each switch a location. No more wondering where your lubed switches ended up. ▷ Build Log Record each keyboard: board name, layout, PCB, plate material, case material, foam, sound character, rating, and the switches, keycaps, and stabilizers you used. Free up to 2 builds. ▷ Build Share Card Turn a build into an image card in 4 sizes (square, portrait, story, landscape), choose the details to show, and share it on social media. Free with a watermark; Pro removes it. ▷ Group Buy Tracker Follow each GB from IC, GB open, and GB closed through manufacturing, shipped, and received, or mark it delayed. Save the vendor, order date, estimated ship date, and price. Covers keyboards, keycaps, switches, stabs, cables, and deskmats. Free up to 5. ▷ Gear Keycap sets (profile, colorway, manufacturer, price, status), stabilizers (size, mount, lube, mods, rating), cables (vendor, connectors, style, color), and deskmats (size, material, price). ▷ Export & Import (free) Export everything as CSV files in a ZIP, or as a ZIP with your photos. Import the file to restore your data or move it to a new iPhone. 【Who It's For】 · Collectors whose switch stash has outgrown a spreadsheet · Builders who want specs and photos saved for each keyboard · Anyone waiting on group buys ordered months ago · Anyone who has asked, "Did I lube these? With what?" 【Your Data Stays on Your Device】 Everything is stored on your iPhone or iPad. Nothing is sent to an external server, and no account is required. 【Pricing】 · Free: 15 switches, 2 builds, 5 group buys, 10 keycap sets, and 5 each of stabs, cables, and deskmats. Mod records, specs, share cards, and export/import are free. · ThockLog Pro (one-time purchase): Unlimited items, Switch Compare, Storage Locations, and share cards without the watermark. No subscription. ---------------------- Developer: Kore Apps Contact: support@kore-apps.com ----------------------
