in development · shaping v1 in the open

Numbers you candefend.

One app for logging a build to the minute and the dollar. Parts kept separate from tools. Logged hours kept separate from guesses. The data model refuses to blend them, so the numbers survive being questioned.

This page sells an app that is real but not finished. What follows is what it does today, not what it might do. Nothing here has a launch date attached, because one hasn't been earned yet.

The figures in the sheet above read zero for the same reason every figure on this site does — no session has been logged yet. They fill from the timer, never from an estimate, and never from a marketing page.

§ what it does

Three things, done honestly

not a feature list
01
Honest numbers
Parts cost, cost-in-car and total outlay tracked as three separate truths. Logged and estimated hours stored apart, always. The data model is built so a guess cannot masquerade as a measurement.
designed & specified
02
Hands-free timing
"Suspension, start." The timer runs while your hands stay on the spanner, attributing every minute to the system actually under them. No tapping a screen with greasy fingers.

03
The build card
One shareable image: the car as the hero, parts cost and logged hours as the only numbers. Every figure is literally what the timer recorded.

§ the hard part

Talking to a phone with dirty hands

The whole idea falls over if logging costs more attention than the job does. A timer you have to unlock, find and tap is a timer you stop using by week three.

So the hard problem is voice: hearing a short command over a compressor, in a concrete room, from someone under a car. That is the part being built and tested now — and it is the reason there is no date on this page.

// recognition rates will be published here once
// they have been measured over a real run.
// a number on a marketing page that nobody
// measured is exactly what this app exists to stop.
