A garage management app that lives on your phone
GarageOS is a garage management app in the way that matters: it installs on your phone, works offline, and is designed for use with one hand.
It's a Progressive Web App — no App Store gatekeeping, no forced updates, no per-seat licence.
Who it's for
Garage owners and mechanics who spend their day on their feet with a phone in one hand.
Install to home screen
One tap adds GarageOS to your iPhone or Android like any other app.
Offline-friendly
Today's board is cached; changes sync when signal returns.
Push notifications
New booking, payment received, MOT due — straight to your phone.
One-hand friendly
Big targets, high contrast, oily-hand-tolerant.
Fast to open
Cold-start under a second on modern phones.
Works on any device
Phone, tablet, workshop terminal — same app, one login.
Why it matters
Installing a native app across a workshop is friction: someone forgets, someone's on Android, someone updated iOS overnight. A PWA sidesteps all of that.
You still get a real app icon, push notifications and offline behaviour — without any of the App Store overhead.
What you get
- No App Store approval delays
- Updates roll out instantly to everyone
- Works on old and new devices
