iOS App

Workshop

A personal project and maintenance tracker for iOS — for anyone with an ongoing build, a garage full of maintenance, or both.

Projects, built your way

Start from a template or build one from scratch. Every project gets its own set of fields, and you can add, remove, or rename them any time.

Custom fields

Text, rich notes, code with syntax highlighting, parts lists, cut lists, hyperlinks, dates, cost, and priority — mix and match per project.

Attachments & 3D models

Attach photos to any project, or drop in an STL, OBJ, or GLB file for an interactive 3D viewer right in the app.

Receipt scanning

Snap a photo of a receipt and Workshop reads the merchant, date, and totals off it automatically, entirely on-device.

AI chat

Drop an AI Chat field into any project or maintenance task to talk it through with Claude, using your own API key.

Organize your way

Folders, tags, filters, sorting, custom icons, and search across every project — plus a Completed log so finished work isn't just gone.

A garage that keeps up with maintenance

Add a vehicle and decode its VIN to auto-fill year, make, and model — then track maintenance by mileage, by date, or both.

VIN decode

One tap pulls year, make, model, trim, and dozens of other details from the vehicle's VIN.

Recurring maintenance

Mark a task done and Workshop schedules the next occurrence automatically, whether it's tracked by mileage or by date.

Suggested maintenance

A built-in catalog of service items — manufacturer-specific for many makes, general otherwise — ready to add with one tap instead of typing from scratch.

Stays in sync with the rest of your life

Workshop plugs into iOS instead of asking you to work around it.

Calendar & reminders

Any date field can push to a real calendar event that stays updated automatically, plus an optional reminder the day before.

Siri shortcuts

"Add a note in Workshop" or "Mark maintenance done in Workshop" — hands-free, without opening the app first.

iCloud sync & backup

Turn on iCloud Sync and everything — projects, photos, attachments, 3D models, even your settings — stays in step across every device. Manual backup and restore are always there too.

Home Screen widgets

Quick Create jumps straight to a new project or maintenance task from your Home Screen. Favorites shows up to 4 starred projects, one tap to open.

Built to actually be usable

Support for Reduced Motion, Sufficient Contrast, and Differentiate Without Color Alone, full VoiceOver labeling, and an in-app text size control.
