One app for the whole fleet, built to be used right where the work happens: in the garage, the shop, or the back of the barn, with no signal required. Stop guessing what you did last time. 1Garage remembers the socket sizes, part numbers, torque specs, oil weights, and odometer readings so you don't have to. MY FLEET • Add any machine, give it a nickname ("The Beast"), and snap a photo. • Search and filter your whole fleet instantly. MAINTENANCE LEDGER • A clean, timestamped history for every machine. • Editable notes, monospaced technical notes, tags, odometer, and cost. • Attach photos to any entry so you remember exactly what you saw. SPEC LOOKUP • Decode a VIN or browse make/model to pull manufacturer specs. • Save what you need straight to your garage. REMINDERS • Per-machine oil-change and service intervals (every N months or N miles). • A "Due now" badge that works even offline. BUILT FOR THE GARAGE • Offline-first: every change saves to your device first, so nothing is lost where there's no signal. • Voice-to-text on notes fields for greasy-hands input. • A dark, glance-friendly interface designed for shop lighting.
