1. Start here

Save one real tool first.

Shedledger is built for the small moment before a trip to the hardware store: what do you already own, where does it live, and what still needs a borrow, hire, buy, or check-later decision?

2. Capture only what helps the next project

Start with the tool name and storage location. Size, condition, quantity, notes, and a photo can stay blank until they are useful.

Use photos for shelf labels, bins, fastener boxes, worn blades, battery packs, or any detail that is faster to recognise visually than to describe.

3. Use readiness decisions honestly

Mark an item as `Owned` only when the saved record answers the project question.

Use `Not recorded`, `Borrow`, `Hire`, `Buy`, or `Check later` when the shelf still cannot answer the job. Those labels are planning aids, not purchasing advice or safety guidance.

4. Plan a project checklist

Use Project Readiness when a job needs a short materials check before you leave home.

Add only the required item and the current decision. Keep the checklist narrow so it stays a readiness pass, not a full project manager.

Starter templates are examples for common home tasks. Edit the saved requirements when the real job is different.

5. Use reminders and export carefully

Local reminders can nudge you to check a battery, blade, filter, adhesive, or restock item. They require notification permission and remain tied to records on this device.

CSV export is for offline review, personal records, or a spreadsheet fallback. It is not cloud backup, builder quotes, contractor estimating, building-consent documentation, contract works insurance, or store integration.

6. Contact support when

Contact support if:

• saved records, photos, reminders, or export behaviour looks wrong
• wording feels unnatural for your locale
• Help or FAQ copy appears to overstate what the app does
• a readiness label is unclear

Include:

• the tool, project row, or reminder involved
• whether notification permission was allowed or denied
• the locale you selected
• what looked wrong
• whether the issue was capture, photos, reminders, export, wording, or product scope

1. What is Shedledger?

Shedledger is a calm, local-first tool shelf and project-readiness tracker.

It helps you save tools, storage locations, size or spec notes, conditions, quantities, local photos, readiness decisions, project checklist rows, local reminders, and a CSV export without turning a home shelf into a contractor suite.

2. Does Shedledger need an account?

No.

The current product posture is local-only. The app does not require sign-in, sync, or a backend to do the core job.

3. Where is my data stored?

The current build keeps saved tool records, project checklist rows, reminder state, export preview state, and local photo attachments on the current device.

If that storage posture changes later, the support and privacy surfaces should say so explicitly.

4. What should I record first?

Record the tool name and where it lives.

Add size, spec, condition, quantity, notes, or a photo only when they help you find the item or make a project decision later.

5. What do the readiness labels mean?

`Owned` means the record answers the project need.

`Not recorded` means the item is still unknown.

`Borrow`, `Hire`, `Buy`, and `Check later` are planning labels for the next decision. They are not purchasing recommendations, safety advice, or price estimates.

6. How do project checklists work?

Project checklists are short materials checks.

Use them to write down the required item and the current readiness decision before you leave home. They are intentionally narrow and do not replace project instructions, building-consent requirements, builder quotes, contractor estimates, or safety planning.

7. How do photos work?

Photos are attached locally to saved tool records.

Use them for shelf labels, bins, tool condition, fastener packaging, battery packs, or anything that is easier to recognise visually. Removing a photo from a draft or archived record removes only the local attachment managed by the app.

8. How do reminders work?

Reminders are local checks tied to saved tool records.

You can use the app without notification permission, but reminder alerts require iPhone notification permission. If permission is denied, your saved records and checklist rows still work.

9. What does export mean?

Export creates a local CSV file and preview from saved tools, project checklist rows, and reminders on this device.

It is for personal review, handoff, or spreadsheet fallback. It is not cloud backup, store integration, builder quotes, contractor estimating, building-consent documentation, tax inventory, insurance documentation, or warranty tracking.

10. Does Shedledger track prices, warranties, or stores?

No.

Shedledger is intentionally narrow. It does not track store prices, warranties, purchase history, barcodes, receipts, contractor estimates, contractor bids, or shared inventory.

11. What should I do if records, photos, reminders, export, or wording look wrong?

Use the Help front door first to confirm the intended product boundary.

If the issue still looks wrong, contact support and include:

• the tool, project row, or reminder involved
• whether notification permission was allowed or denied
• the locale you selected
• what looked wrong
• whether the issue was capture, photos, reminders, export, wording, or product scope
