About

CogAtelier

Features
Read full description

This is a standalone business management tool designed for restorers of antique automata and mechanical toys, as well as conservation institutions. It helps you digitize paper logs, blueprints, and handwritten notes. 【Restoration Workflow & Scheduling】 Create new restoration commissions and record details such as the client, automaton, labor hours, deposit, and delivery deadline. The app features ten built-in standard restoration steps; each step captures timestamps, damage details, and repair specifics, ensuring full traceability. The dashboard displays tasks by urgency, automatically flags overdue orders, and tracks active and completed jobs. 【Pickup SMS Notifications】 When a restoration is complete and ready for pickup, notify clients using customizable SMS templates that automatically populate details like names, automaton names, and addresses. Features include text preview and copying, integration with the system's SMS app for sending, notification archiving, and status updates to mark pickup completion. 【Client & Automaton "Mechanical Medical Records"】 Create client profiles with one-tap calling and automatic tracking of repair history. Automaton profiles store collection details such as era, origin, mechanism type, and materials; past restoration records generate an automatic timeline, creating a unique "mechanical medical record" for each piece. 【Local Data Security】 Data is stored entirely locally; no account registration is required. Supports one-tap JSON backups. Deletion of records is prevented if there are unfinished commissions, and the system automatically checks for duplicates when creating new records to avoid redundant entries. > Note: The app does not support automated background SMS sending; it relies on the device's native SMS application. If the device does not support direct integration, text can be copied and sent manually. All data is stored on the device; please export a backup before uninstalling the app.
