The Benchhook companion app
Toolcount
A plain digital wall map. Fixed positions, a five-minute closing count, and a log of what came up short — nothing else.
Most inventory tools were built for warehouses with barcode scanners and a receiving dock. A six-square-metre bench doesn't have either of those things. Toolcount instead copies the one system that already works on a shop wall: a fixed position for every tool, and a shape that stays visible whether the tool is there or not.
You trace your bench once — enter each fixed position, give it a name and a shape. After that, using the app is a matter of tapping through the wall at closing time and marking what's back in place. Everything else is a log you can ignore until you need it.
Lay out your bench once, digitally, matching the painted layout you already use.
A five-minute end-of-day tally, tool by tool, done by tapping through the wall map.
Flags a slot left empty overnight, plainly, without notification drama.
Suggests wall position by how often a tool is actually picked up, not by category.
A printable slip so the next person on the bench starts from a known count.
A plain log of counts over time. No dashboards, no scores, no streaks.
Enter your bench's fixed positions once. Each gets a shape, a name, and a category — matching whatever is already painted or taped.
Tap through the wall map at the end of the day. Anything not tapped stays flagged as an open outline until the next count.
Check the week's pattern before a repeated gap turns into a habit nobody notices anymore.
No. Toolcount maps to whatever layout already exists — painted outlines, taped labels, or nothing formal at all. It records what you tell it.
Just tools and positions. There's an optional name field for shift handovers, but nothing resembling employee monitoring.
Nothing dramatic. The history view shows a gap in the log, same as it would show a gap on the wall. No streak resets, no penalties.
No practical one. A single small bench and a multi-bay shared crib both fit the same wall-map structure.
