What people are saying.

"I like data that's easily viewable and searchable. This scratches that itch. Plus, it's a pretty cool design and better than my previous method of logging."

Guido

"Keeping track of expenses and ongoing projects on multiple vehicles. It stops me from overcommitting to too many projects at once."

M. Martinez

"Keeps me honest about how much my project car costs. Makes me feel more confident if I need to sell it in the future."

Nick L.

"I've been looking for a simple project tracking tool to help me remember what I've done and what I need to do. Like the good-old cardboard and sharpie list, but better."
