There's no good free aircraft management software for owners and clubs, so I built one

There aren't any decent free options for aircraft management aimed at owners and club/school operators. Every site/app I looked at was either per-seat priced, capped at one aircraft on the free tier, or charged extra for stuff like scheduling and squawk tracking that I think should just be included. So I built one and I'm calling it ChocksOff.

The free tier is the actual product, not a teaser. You get unlimited aircraft, unlimited members, unlimited instructors, scheduling for both aircraft and CFIs, maintenance and squawk tracking with photos, flight logging, document storage, financial reporting, and invoice generation. No card, no trial timer, no aircraft caps.

The paid tiers exist for AI features like digitizing logbooks, oil trend analysis parsed from PDF lab reports and integrations like auto flight logging via a Garmin GDL-60 (coming soon), in-app payment processing for member invoices. Send me a message if you sign up and I'll enable the paid features for your account for free.

Mobile first UI was the hard requirement for me because all of the other apps or sites are horrible on mobile so I wanted to make sure it works well on my phone because honestly, that's the only platform I'm using especially on the the go. It's easy enough to just snap a picture of the hobbs and tach and upload it as a flight log entry.

If you're an aircraft owner flying partly for business, contemporaneous flight logging for IRS audit purposes is a must, so that piece got the most attention from me.

Plenty of rough edges still. Honest feedback welcome, including the brutal kind.
