Most “vehicle maintenance log” templates are $7 PDFs you print, fill in by hand, and lose in a folder. Moto Journal is the real-app version of the same idea. Here is the difference.
| What an Etsy PDF gives you | What Moto Journal gives you |
|---|---|
| Printable forms you fill in by hand | Real software that does the math |
| One vehicle, one binder | Every vehicle in one place |
| Empty chart boxes you can't fill | Live charts from your own data |
| A photo of a receipt taped to a page | Photos auto-organized by entry |
| "Did I do that?" guesswork | Smart reminders based on your real intervals |
| A folder buyers have to dig through | A polished For-Sale Report ready to send |
| Lost if your binder gets wet | A backup file you control |
| Re-buy for every new vehicle | Lifetime updates, every vehicle, one price |
A printable PDF lets you write things down. Moto Journal does the math, draws charts from your entries, organizes photos automatically, and produces a buyer-ready For-Sale Report when you sell. One $20 purchase covers every vehicle you'll ever own.
Moto Journal is one-time $20 with lifetime V1 updates. Your data is stored locally in your browser. There is no server, no account, no telemetry. The records outlast the company that built them.
This is for you if:
Pick a template: sedan, truck, diesel, EV, motorcycle, RV, boat, ATV. The app generates the right oil-change, tire-rotation, brake-fluid, and major-service intervals for that vehicle type. When you log a real maintenance entry, the matching schedule shifts forward automatically.
Cost over time. MPG trend. Cost per mile. Investment breakdown. Service-interval timeline. Odometer history. Activity heatmap. Every chart redraws as you add entries. A PDF can't do that.
When it's time to sell, generate a clean three-page report showing the vehicle, ownership duration, major services performed, modifications you added, and a photo gallery. Print it or save as PDF. This is the report the buyer is actually paying for.
Attach receipts, registration scans, before/after photos. Everything is auto-compressed on import and stored locally. No upload to anyone's cloud. No account to forget the password to.
The look of the app should match the vehicle in your garage. Pick from Garage (industrial workshop), Classic Chrome, Track Day, Overland, JDM Night, or Marina. Each ships in a light and dark mode.
Twenty dollars, one time. Every V1 purchase comes with free lifetime version updates: new features, new templates, every future release. Bug fixes are always free, no exceptions. No subscription, no upsell, no "premium tier."
Selling a vehicle is the moment your maintenance history finally pays off. The For-Sale Report turns every log entry you have made into a printer-ready document with the asking price, the year-make-model, ownership duration, complete service history grouped by year, mods and upgrades, and a photo gallery. Hand it to a buyer at the curb or attach it to a Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace listing. The records do the selling.
Every chart in Moto Journal is computed from your own entries, not stub data, not placeholders. Cost trends update as you log services. MPG falls or climbs as you log fill-ups. The activity heatmap shows when the vehicle was actually getting attention. None of this works on paper.
Moto Journal runs entirely in your browser. There is no server. There is no account. There is no telemetry. When you add a vehicle, log an entry, or attach a photo, the data is written to your browser's local database on your device. We cannot see it. We do not have it.
The backup file is a plain JSON file you save to a folder of your choosing: Dropbox, iCloud Drive, your Documents folder, an external drive. Restoring on a new computer is one click. The file is human-readable so you can verify your records before you trust the app.
Secure checkout. Pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or any major credit card.

Yes, always. Once the file is on your computer, no internet connection is needed for anything: adding vehicles, logging entries, attaching photos, generating reports, viewing charts. The only network call the app ever makes is an optional, off-by-default check for new versions.
On your computer, in your browser's local database (IndexedDB). Moto Journal has no server and no account. We can't see your data. The only person who can read it is you, on the computer that has the app and the backup file.
The backup file is your master copy. Save it to Dropbox, iCloud Drive, an external drive, or wherever you keep documents that matter. Restoring is one click on a new computer. The app reminds you to back up if 14 days have passed since the last backup.
No. There's no way for us to. The app makes no network calls back to us; there's no account, no telemetry. The privacy story isn't a promise. It's the architecture.
Yes. Every Moto Journal V1 purchase includes free lifetime version updates: every new feature, every new vehicle template, every future release. Bug fixes are always free, no exceptions. There is no premium tier. You can install future versions over the old one and keep your data.
Today, Moto Journal is primarily a desktop app. We ship a single HTML file you double-click to open in your default browser, and that flow does not translate cleanly to iOS. A mobile-installable version (a real "Add to Home Screen" experience for iPhone and iPad) is on the roadmap for the next minor release. If mobile-first matters to you, hold off until then.
Yes. As many as you want, of any type. Each vehicle gets its own dashboard, schedules, photos, tasks, and reports. Garage-level charts compare cost per mile and total investment across the whole fleet.
A three-page document the app generates from your logbook when you are ready to sell. It shows the vehicle, ownership duration, asking price, key selling points, complete service history grouped by year, modifications you added, and a photo gallery. Print it or save as PDF. It's what every PDF template on Etsy tries to be.
Photos (JPEG, PNG, HEIC) and PDFs. Photos are auto-compressed on import so a hundred receipts do not blow out your disk. Documents are stored as-is.
Pay through the secure checkout (Apple Pay, Google Pay, or any major credit card). If the app does not fit your workflow, you have 14 days to request a refund, no questions asked.
Because a vehicle maintenance log is the kind of thing you should still own ten years from now, when the company that built it might not exist anymore. Subscription pricing makes the company's interests diverge from yours: they need you to keep paying; you need a record that outlasts the product. We chose the side you'd choose.
Not yet. The product is twenty dollars with a 14-day refund window, effectively a "buy and try" with the money back if you don't keep it.
No. There is no activation step and no license check. After you pay, you'll get a receipt email with an order ID and a download link. Download the app, double-click to open, and you're in. The License panel in Settings lets you save your buyer name and order ID for your own records. The app never validates anything. The receipt email is your proof of purchase. Keep it.
