A NOTE FROM THE DEV Modfest started because I was tracking everything I did to my project car through spreadsheets, random forums, and receipts. I started working on the app to create a hub that I'd find useful to plan a build, track my parts, keep up with maintenance, and share with a community of car enthusiasts. If you've got an idea or run into a bug, email me at support@modfest.app. Modfest is built by one person who actively uses the app. Most features started as something I wanted, or something another enthusiast asked for. Modfest Premium auto-renews at the end of each billing period unless canceled at least 24 hours before the next renewal. Your free trial automatically converts to a paid subscription after 7 days unless canceled before the trial ends. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Privacy Policy: https://modfest.app/privacy Terms of Service: https://modfest.app/terms
