What it does

One card per tool

Photo, brand and model, serial number, purchase date and price, supplier, invoice photo, warranty end date, condition, location and full history. Search by name, brand, model, serial number or barcode.

Scan and find

Scan the barcode on the box or a Gearbin QR label and the tool card opens. A barcode that is already registered opens the existing card instead of creating a duplicate. You can also type the code.

QR labels

Create a permanent QR label for each tool and print sheets of 12, 24 or 48 labels on A4 paper. The iPhone camera can open the right tool from a label too.

Loans and due dates

Lend a tool with a name, an optional phone number and a due date, and record its condition when it leaves and when it comes back. Overdue loans show up on the home screen. Add a signature and a handover photo when you want proof.

Locations

Warehouse, van, workshop, job site or home: build a tree like Van > Drawer 2. Every move is written to the tool's history.

Maintenance

Log service, repairs, calibration, blade and oil changes with cost and provider. Gearbin suggests the next date from your interval, or by running hours for compressors and generators.

Stock count and reports

Pick a location, scan what you see and get a list of what is missing, misplaced or out on loan. Create an inventory list, a value report and a loan history as PDF.

Reminders and widgets

Optional reminders for return days, overdue loans, ending warranties, maintenance and monthly counts, all off until you turn them on. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show tools on loan, overdue loans and ending warranties.

Backup and export

Back up to a file with or without photos, restore it on a new iPhone, and import or export CSV for spreadsheets.

Free and premium. Free: up to 25 tools with a photo each, barcode and QR scanning, locations, loans with due dates, warranty and maintenance records and reminders. Gearbin Pro is an auto-renewing weekly, monthly or yearly subscription with a free trial (3 days on weekly and monthly, 7 days on yearly) and adds unlimited tools, QR labels and label sheets, stock count, PDF reports, widgets, loan signatures and handover photos, backup, restore and CSV, total inventory value and more photos per tool. Prices are shown in the app before you buy.

Ads and tracking

No ads, no tracking across apps or websites, and no data is sold. The app contains no analytics SDK and no AI features.

Please note. Gearbin is a record keeping tool. It does not locate tools, and its reminders are a helper, not a substitute for manufacturer service schedules or inspection requirements.
