Interesting, are you using a mobile device or a desktop? I’ve been testing from different locations on different devices and haven’t noticed lag. The logs aren’t showing any problems. Will keep trying to replicate. Thanks for letting us know. Appreciate it.

Thanks for the feedback users have been sending over. Really appreciate it. I went ahead a created a demo user account it has 2000 tools on it and 500 batteries. Just randomly selected and added to the account to see how it holds up. Add more if you want to how it responds. If you want to see...

Not sure if you used the invite that was sent, but you can just create an account at https://tooldb.app/ and start using it. I'm looking at adding some new features for better organization. Any input is appreciated. Thanks all

There is a link in the invite email. You click that and you are logged in. Just click on the settings tab and add a password and you are good to go. If you are having issues reply to the email or message me here. Thanks.

Ha, fair concern, but your tool list is private to your account and we're not in the business of publishing garage contents to the internet. And yes, absolutely try it out. The duplicate prevention use case is actually one of the most common reasons people sign up. You're at an estate sale, see...

Fair points. The insurance scenario is actually one of the reasons I built it. Most people don't have photos until after something's stolen. Your dad's situation sounds like it worked out, which is great. But when an adjuster wants serial numbers, model numbers, and replacement cost estimates...

Did yours stop working? They are kind of like anything else these days, kind of feel disposable. I have a Ridgid from HD and a Milwaukee M18 vac. They both serve a purpose. I do like the fact that I can use bags in them which makes it easier to empty out. I use the Ridgid with one of those dust...

I have some older tools myself. I have an vise that my dad made in his machine class when he was in high school. It has his name and the date stamped on it. I didn't know about till he passed and it's very special to me. I would just create a new entry for it and call it "Dad's Vise". In the...

You can enter any tool, machine, device you need. It has custom fields available if what you want to add something that isn't in the standard template.

Yes we have enabled 2FA and it is available in the settings. Totally relatable.

These are completely legitimate concerns and I appreciate you raising them seriously. On sustainability: you're right that cloud services disappear. I can't promise ToolDB will exist in 20 years, nobody can. What I can tell you is that the operating costs are low enough that this doesn't need...

Data lives in the cloud, not on your computer. It's stored in a Postgres database hosted on Supabase. You can export everything to CSV or PDF anytime so you're never locked in, but there's no local or self-hosted option. If local storage is a hard requirement this one isn't for you, totally...

You've got it exactly right. It's a web app so OS doesn't matter at all, Linux works fine, just needs a browser. Data is stored in the cloud. Supabase on the backend (Postgres). Photos are stored separately. Nothing is local only. Would genuinely love feedback from someone with a technical...

You are absolutely correct, I've begun filling in the images now. Thanks for pointing that out.

You aren't kidding about the cataloging. It's always been hard for me to focus on something "boring" like this when I could be playing with a new tool or restoring my never ending vise collection. Honestly though this has just been part of a bigger life project. Between my homelab and...

I didn't want to make a long post with a bunch of pictures. We did include screenshots at https://docs.tooldb.io/ showing the functionality and the workflow. Appreciate your input. Thanks

I've been off work this winter (yeh pipefitters!) so I've taken the opportunity to organize my garage and tools. For a long time I've this idea in the back of my mind about making an app to catalog my tools. I'm terrible at saving receipts and well I'm just terrible at organization in general...

Bought my LP Smartside through Menards. They do have a line that is painted. It is a real pleasure to work with.
