A basic list
A spreadsheet can work well when you mainly need dates and totals. Consider an asset app when you also want documents, service history, and reminders kept together.
Simple CMMS alternative
Maintenance records for a business you run yourself.
Keep each asset's repairs, reminders, documents, and costs together on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. FixLog suits an owner who needs equipment records without technician dispatch or separate user permissions.
Choose by the work you do
Do you need a record, or a team workflow?
Business size alone does not decide which software fits. Start with who needs access and how work gets assigned.
Your equipment records
FixLog connects an asset to completed work, costs, supporting documents, and upcoming maintenance on your supported Apple devices.
Separate people and permissions
Choose a team CMMS when you need to assign work orders, manage individual access, or review who performed each action. Some CMMS products offer free plans; compare workflow and limits as well as price.
FixLog: asset records, recurring reminders, service history, costs, photos, documents, warranties, QR labels, reports, exports, and Spaces on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Pro has monthly and lifetime purchase options. See current pricing and included features.
One asset, from setup to next service
Start with the equipment you maintain.
- Create the asset. Add its location, model and serial number, then attach the documents you want to find again.
- Record completed work. Add a dated maintenance entry with the work performed, service provider, cost, and notes.
- Review and plan. Revisit the history and set a reminder using the next service date recommended for that equipment.
What you give up, stated plainly.
Worth knowing before you download, so you do not find out later.
No user accounts or permissions
FixLog does not require an account to use, which also means there are no logins, roles, or per-user audit trails. Records live on your device and sync across your own supported devices.
No work-order assignment
You log work that was done and schedule work that is due. Dispatching jobs to a team of technicians is a different kind of product.
Apple platforms only
iPhone, iPad, and Mac. There is no web app and no Android app.
No cloud dashboard
Nothing to administer, nothing to log into, and no vendor holding your maintenance records. Exports and backups are yours to move.
