You drive.
Who keeps the record?

Notes in the glovebox. Receipts in a shoebox. The service book somewhere. Sooner or later, something always slips through.

"
When was that
last oil change?
— you, at a stoplight, unsure
"
Which rotors
did I put on?
— you, before the next pad swap
"
That clunk up front —
wasn't I going to…
— you, four months running
"
Any receipts
for the service history?
— the buyer, hand on the keys

Every car.
Every story.

Classics, modern classics, daily drivers, brand new. patinaLog doesn't draw lines. Below is a sample of what people actually wrench on.

Offline-ready PWA
Local-first or encrypted sync

Built to last.
Your data is yours.

Classic-car records run decades deep. patinaLog keeps them that way — offline-rugged, encrypted sync, no lock-in.

01 · Offline-ready

Works wherever
you wrench.

Installs to your home screen like a native app. Once loaded, everything runs offline — garage, lot, hangar, basement. Comes back online, syncs itself.

02 · Multi-device

iPhone. Android.
Desktop.

One interface, every screen. Phone in the garage. Tablet on the couch. Desktop when the receipts pile up. No separate apps. No sync drama.

Secure GDPR-compliant No ads No tracking Premium features incoming. What you've already added stays free.

For drivers
who notice.

01
The classics obsessive

"My E30 has thirty-four years on it. Every one of them should stay visible."

Likely garage: E30 · W124 · 190E · 911 G · Beetle
02
The wrencher

"Torque specs and part numbers I keep in my head. Receipts I lose anyway."

Documents every step: DIY · part lists · brands · torque · before/after photos
03
The daily driver

"No paper. No spreadsheets. I just want to know when the next oil change is due."

Wants structure without effort: reminders · inspection dates · fuel receipts · service history

Answers.

What does patinaLog cost?
Free for now. A premium tier with advanced features ships in the coming months — early adopters get the first month on the house. Whatever you've already added stays free, regardless.
Where is my data stored?
On your device first, then mirrored to EU servers — GDPR-compliant. No selling. No ads. No tracking. Export or delete anytime.
Does it work offline?
Yes. patinaLog is a PWA — open it once, then run it offline. Built for garages, basements, and dead spots. Comes back online, syncs automatically.
Can I share data with my mechanic or a buyer?
Three ways. PDF dossier — print-ready, every entry chronological. Workshop link — read-only, 14 days, perfect for diagnostic appointments. Showroom link — animated build story with photos, made for selling.
What is the Insta carousel export?
An editorial generator for Instagram. Five slides, 1080×1350, your accent colors, your photos. Optional vehicle cutout. Currently in beta — extra templates ship with premium.
How many cars can I track?
Unlimited in the current free tier. One car or ten — each gets its own file, gallery, history.
Do I need technical knowledge?
No. Pre-built service types cover the basics — oil, filters, brakes, inspection. Custom entries handle whatever your classic actually needs.
Is there an iOS / Android app?
patinaLog runs in the browser and installs to your home screen — iPhone, Android, desktop, all the same. No App Store gatekeeping. Updates push automatically.
What happens to my data if I stop using it?
Export everything as JSON or PDF anytime, with or without an account. Delete the account and server data is gone within 30 days. Zero lock-in.

car's story.

No account. No ads. No cost. Just start.
