A log for physical things
Every thing gets its own log. Nothing in it is ever erased.
Tools, machines, vehicles, equipment. Give a thing a tag, and everything that happens around it lands in one place – photos, voice notes, comments, dates, and the name of whoever wrote them.
Machine M544286 · four entries · one reminder
QR code, NFC tag, barcode, or a serial number typed by hand.
Photo, video, voice note, text, files, and the spot on the map.
Set the next service, inspection or check. It comes back on time.
People, roles, teams and groups of things inside one company.
How it works
Four steps, then it runs by itself.
The first thing takes about a minute. Nothing to configure, no fields to design, no import to prepare.
Photograph it
Point the camera at the machine, give it a name and a serial number. It is in the log.
Tag it
Print QR labels straight from the app and stick one on. A scan opens the thing in a second.
Write what happened
Speak it, photograph it, or type it. Repairs, checks, moves, damage, hand-overs.
Look back
Months later the whole history is still there, in order, with names and dates.
There is no delete button. That is the point.
An entry, once written, stays, with its author and the exact time. Photos of a part before it was replaced. The note saying a machine came back damaged. The check somebody signed off on in March.
- Old records keep their value because nobody can quietly change them later.
- Two phones writing at once never overwrite each other. Both entries survive.
- When the signal drops, entries are still written and sync once it returns.

Who keeps a log
Small teams with things worth remembering.
Workshops and garages
What was done to which machine, and by whom.
Equipment rental
The condition a thing left in, and the condition it came back in.
Construction crews
Tools across several sites, and who had them last.
Farms
Pumps, tractors and irrigation, serviced on a schedule.
Delivery fleets
Vans and bikes with a maintenance record that outlives the driver.
Warehouses
A hundred positions in the log, any number of units inside each one.
The list is not a boundary. People keep logs for beehives, diving tanks, stage props, church chairs, rented cameras, greenhouse pumps. If a thing has a history worth remembering, it belongs in one.

An item is a record, not a piece. One item can be a single espresso machine, or a bin of five thousand bolts. So a hundred free items already cover a real workshop. Two hundred items, a warehouse, costs ten dollars a month.
Questions
What happens when the signal drops?
The entry is written anyway. A basement, a yard behind thick walls, a site out of coverage: the phone keeps the record locally and syncs it as soon as the connection comes back. Nobody has to remember to do anything.
Can an entry be deleted?
No. There is no delete function anywhere in AJO. An entry can be hidden from view, and the fact that it was hidden is itself recorded, but nothing is removed.
What happens if a phone is lost?
Nothing is lost with it. The log lives in the cloud, and a new phone signed into the same account opens the same history.
Which phones does it run on?
Android, including old and inexpensive handsets. There is no iPhone version yet.
Which languages?
English, Hindi, Marathi, Urdu, Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Korean. New ones are added regularly, so if a language is missing, ask for it.
Does anyone else see our log?
Only the people invited into the company, and only the things their role and tags give them access to.
