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.

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

Fair. Honest. No tricks.

Free covers most wrenchers. Premium is for anyone running several cars — or planning to sell one day.

Answers.

What does patinaLog cost?
There's a free Free tier (one vehicle, full logbook, tasks, service intervals, offline mode) and Premium for anyone running multiple vehicles or showing their car off — with showroom link, PDF dossier and export. Exact pricing is up top under Pricing.
How many cars can I track?
One on the Free tier, unlimited with Premium. Every car gets its own file, gallery and history.
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.
What happens to my photo when I scan a receipt?
For automatic text recognition the photo is sent to an AI service (GDPR-compliant, under a data-processing agreement). It is never used for training and deleted shortly after. Customer names, addresses and license plates are deliberately ignored and not extracted.
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.
Is there an iOS / Android app?
Yes — the app is on the App Store and Google Play, with push reminders and the full experience. To try it first, patinaLog also runs straight in your browser, no install needed.
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.
What happens to my data if I stop using it?
Export everything as JSON or PDF anytime. Delete the account and server data is gone within 30 days. Zero lock-in.
