DoseGlowEmber vs Penlora

DoseGlow Ember is a local-first dose board for iPhone. Build a cabinet for each person, tag bottles by meal window, and let stubborn alerts keep repeating until you tap Taken, Later, or Skip. The Board shows the next glow, a day pulse, catch-up trays, course lanes, and bottle days-left. Ledger tracks on-time mix; Stock builds a refill slip. Two drills — Vial Sort and Pulse Lane — warm up timing. Works offline. Not medical advice.

Penlora is a local workshop ledger for carousel restorers, antique amusement-ride studios, and historic park teams. Keep repair jobs, client and ride files, figure condition charts, band organs, and mechanical parts in one place. Everything stays on your device—no account, no subscription. Jobs and stage tracking Log a job in a few steps: link a client and ride, choose the job type (Single figure / Full ride / Mechanical overhaul / Electrical restore), then set estimated hours and priority. The Today board shows active work. Stages follow a fixed eleven-step path (Intake → Tear-down & tag → Wood body → Primer → Paint → Gilding → Mechanics → Electrics → Reassembly → Trial run → Archive). Mark a stage done when you finish it; timestamps keep a clear trail. After a stage, open the system Messages sheet to text the client. Custom SMS templates are supported, and each send is saved in the notice history for later review. Clients and ride files Client records store type (Historic park, Museum, Private collector, City park, Film crew), name, contact, phone, address, and notes, plus linked rides and jobs. Ride files cover build year, maker, country of origin, rotation direction, paint style, size, and more. Under each ride you can keep figure charts—“spinning case histories”—with wear notes (wood crack, paint loss, gilding wear, missing tail, glass eye, and so on), materials used this round (wood, primer, pigment batch, gilding karat, eye source), and notes on past poor repairs. Band organs and parts trail Register a fairground organ per ride: maker, pipe count, stop layout, paper-roll titles, and bellows condition. The parts trail logs gears, linkages, bearings, and other parts by ride—name, specs, and replacement notes—and can link each entry to a job for later lookup. In Studio you can manage SMS templates and see counts for clients, rides, figure charts, organs, jobs, and parts. Bring shop-floor records into one clear local ledger so every ride—and every figure—has a trail you can trust.
