Typewriter Cabinet is a private, local-first collection and service passport for vintage typewriter owners, collectors, and restorers. Organize your machines on a visual Cabinet Worktable, grouped by real status - Ready to Type, Needs Ribbon, Needs Cleaning, Needs Repair, or Sold/Loaned - so you always know which machines need attention. For each machine, keep a complete passport: - Identity & specs - make, model, year estimate, serial number, body style, keyboard layout, color - Typeface specimen - a photo and typed sample of your machine's actual typeface, plus alignment, impression, and ribbon notes - Service timeline - a real chronological history of cleanings, ribbon changes, platen work, escapement adjustments, and repairs, each with date, category, cost, shop, and before/after photos - Acquisition & provenance - where and when you got it, what it cost, estate notes, ownership history, and any sale or loan records - entirely in your own words - Handoff completeness - a clear checklist of what's documented and what's missing, so a machine is ready to sell, loan, or pass on with full records (this is a completeness indicator only - never an appraisal, valuation, or authenticity claim) Search and filter your whole collection by make, model, serial number, typeface, condition, or service category. Clone a machine's record when you acquire a duplicate or restore a parts machine. Export a watermark-free (Pro) or watermarked (Free) PDF handoff report, or a CSV/JSON file, for insurance, sale, estate planning, or your own archive - anytime, offline. Your data stays on your device. Typewriter Cabinet works fully offline, has no account, and does not use advertising or tracking SDKs. Back up your entire collection to an encrypted-checksum JSON file and restore it anytime, with a full preview before anything changes. Import records with duplicate detection so you never end up with copies. Free tier: track up to 5 machines, with watermarked PDF export. Backup, restore, import, CSV export, and deleting your own data are always free, on every tier, forever. Typewriter Cabinet Pro (Annual or Lifetime, no monthly subscription): unlimited machines, watermark-free PDF export, unlimited presets, advanced filters, and batch handoff export. Typewriter Cabinet is not an appraisal service, does not certify authenticity, does not maintain a serial-number lookup database, and is not a marketplace. It is a private record-keeping tool built for people who actually own and maintain these machines. Supports 16 languages including full right-to-left Arabic layout, Dynamic Type up to the largest accessibility sizes, VoiceOver, and both light and dark appearance.
