AutoMynded

Read full description

Snap any car concern. AutoMynded's powertrain-aware AI tells you what it is, how urgent it is, and what to tell a mechanic. Right answer for gas, hybrid, or EV. Most car maintenance apps were designed before EVs went mainstream. They tell Tesla owners to "change the oil" and Bolt owners to "replace the spark plugs." AutoMynded knows what your vehicle actually has and what it doesn't. Every diagnosis branches on whether you drive gas, diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, battery-electric, or fuel-cell, so the answer is right the first time. WHAT AUTOMYNDED DOES Photo diagnosis in seconds. Snap a warning light, a fluid spot under the car, a worn part, anything. Add an optional one-line note. AutoMynded returns a severity rating (urgent, soon, or informational), a plain-English explanation, and the verbatim paragraph to send to your mechanic when you decide to call one. Smart service receipt capture. Snap a service receipt and AutoMynded extracts the shop, date, mileage, line items, and total. Confirm the pre-filled fields and save. Your service history builds itself. Powertrain-aware maintenance schedule. The schedule generates from your vehicle's powertrain. EV owners get tire rotation every 5,000 miles (tighter than ICE), 12V auxiliary battery checks every three years (the most overlooked EV failure point), battery coolant intervals, and software update reminders. Gas owners get the standard oil, plugs, transmission, and filter intervals. Plug-in hybrids get both with adjusted timing because the engine cycles less. Mileage logger with the live IRS rate. Track business miles for tax season. Manual entry on free, GPS auto-track on Pro. Each trip snapshots the IRS rate at save time so prior trips don't drift if the rate changes mid-year. Annual AI summary, Pro. Pro users get a per-vehicle year-end narrative covering total miles, top spending categories, recurring themes from saved diagnoses, and what to plan for next year. Cached on your device so re-opening is free. EV-specific surfaces, free. Charging session log, battery range tracking with a Swift Charts trend line, and OTA software update history. Available on every BEV and PHEV vehicle profile, no Pro required. EV awareness is the differentiator, not a paywall. Multi-vehicle for households, Pro. Free is one vehicle. Pro is unlimited, perfect for the gas commuter plus the EV daily. POWERTRAIN COVERAGE Gas, Diesel, Hybrid (HEV), Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), Battery Electric (BEV), and Fuel Cell (FCEV). Pick once at vehicle setup. Every Gemini call after that adapts. PRIVACY Your vehicles, photos, diagnoses, receipts, and service history live on your device. There are no AutoMynded servers. Photos and your vehicle's make, model, year, powertrain, and mileage are sent to Google's Gemini AI for the diagnosis or extraction call, then the response comes back to your phone and stays there. For the Pro Annual Summary, only aggregated yearly totals are sent, never individual records. You can review and revoke AI access in Settings any time. Not a substitute for professional service. AutoMynded helps you understand and document. Always consult a licensed mechanic, dealership, or manufacturer warranty for repair, safety, or warranty decisions. PRICING AutoMynded is free for one vehicle, five photo diagnoses per month, and five receipt extractions per month. Manual service entry, manual mileage entry, and EV-specific features are unlimited on free. Upgrade to AutoMynded Pro for unlimited diagnoses and extractions, multi-vehicle support, GPS-tracked mileage, and the annual AI summary. $4.99/month or $29.99/year (about 50% savings). Subscriptions auto-renew until canceled. Cancel anytime via iPhone Settings, Apple ID, Subscriptions.

Electric Scan

Features
Read full description

Electric Scan turns your phone into a live window on your EV's high-voltage battery. Pair it with the Electric Scan Bluetooth LE module, connect the module to your vehicle, and the app streams what the battery management system reports, refreshed several times a second. CELL VOLTAGES Every cell in the pack, read individually. Switch between a numeric grid and a heatmap that shows at a glance where each cell sits within the pack's own minimum-maximum range. The summary panel identifies the highest and lowest cell by number, the pack average, and the spread between them in millivolts. PACK AND STATE State of charge, state of health, total pack voltage, module temperatures, and 12 V system voltage, each on its own level bar. DRIVE DATA Motor RPM on a 270-degree gauge, actual against requested torque on a bipolar meter that separates drive from regeneration, and GPS speed from your phone. TRIP RECORDER Start a recording before you set off and the app samples speed, RPM, state of charge, and torque for the whole trip. Afterwards you get distance, top and average speed, peak RPM, and the change in state of charge, with a chart for each channel. Trips are stored on your device and you choose which ones to keep or delete. G-FORCE METER A live readout of acceleration, braking, and cornering forces measured by your phone's motion sensors, with a trail of recent movement and a peak hold. LANGUAGES Thai and English. REQUIRES HARDWARE Electric Scan is a companion app for the Electric Scan Bluetooth LE module and does nothing on its own. Without the module connected to a vehicle you will only see the connection screen. IMPORTANT Electric Scan displays the values your vehicle makes available. It is a reference tool for the owner, not a repair tool, and it cannot repair or resolve high-voltage battery issues. The readings shown are preliminary reference information only and are not a substitute for an official diagnosis by an authorised service centre or a qualified technician.
