Every tool keeps its own service record.
That perfect setting for a clean cut, the date of the last belt swap, when the oil's next due — speak it at the bench and the machine holds the lot, instead of trusting it to memory until something seizes.

What you capture
- A spoken note at the bench — the belt you swapped or the setting that worked, hands still oily
- Photos of the jig, the dial position or the blade that gave a clean cut, ready for next time
- The date of every oil change, sharpen and service — captured for you
Tap the tool and its whole service journal opens on your phone — every photo, voice note, the manual and the date it was last serviced, nothing to install to read it.
A power tool maintenance log is really just the small details that live in your head: which blade fits the saw, the planer setting that gave a clean finish, when the mower oil was last changed. Write them on a scrap of paper taped to the machine and it smudges with oil or drops off by next month. Stick a little tag on the tool instead and tap your phone to add a note in the moment — by voice with greasy hands, or a quick photo of the dial.
Every tap adds to a dated maintenance log for that machine, so the service history builds itself: oil changes, sharpening, belt swaps and the consumable it actually takes. Link the manual once and it's always a tap away, set a reminder so the next service doesn't slip, and if a tag ever comes off a greasy surface you move the whole record to a fresh one without losing a thing.
Stick a tag on it
A cheap NFC tag on a stake, lid, box — anything.

Questions
- Can I add a note without clean hands?
- Yes. Tap the tag and speak — a voice note is the fastest way to log what you just did with oil on your hands, no typing and no clean-up first.
- Does it keep a full maintenance history?
- Every entry is dated and kept, so each tool builds its own service log over the years — last sharpen, last belt, last oil change — instead of you trying to remember.
- Will a tag stay on a metal tool?
- Use a tag rated for metal or a hanging tag where a sticker won't hold. If one ever falls off, you re-bind the record to a new tag in seconds and lose nothing.
