Tool Crib Inventory

Four payoffs for one afternoon's effort: findability (locations end the search-time tax every job pays), insurance (a valued schedule is what claims actually pay against — 'a box of tools' settles for a fraction of an itemised list), budgeting (the repair/worn flags forecast replacement spend), and loss detection (you can't notice what walked away if you never knew what you had). The value tile alone surprises most owners — hangar tooling quietly accumulates into five figures.

The discipline scales down better than the alternative: one out-of-cal torque value, one lost tool's grounding search, or one insurance claim against an unitemised inventory each cost more than years of thirty-second entries. Small operations skip the systems because nobody requires them — then meet the requirement retroactively, at incident prices. The board is the cheap version of that lesson.

By design: operational records are sensitive, and the simplest privacy guarantee is never transmitting them. Local-only storage means zero servers, zero breach surface and zero subscription. If you work from several devices, keep one as the master record and move snapshots with the CSV export.

Always — the CSV export is a complete, lossless dump of your shop record, generated locally in one click. Import it into commercial software, archive it with your files, or post-process it in a spreadsheet. No lock-in is deliberate: data you can't take with you isn't really yours.
