I built a comprehensive vehicle management app in Flutter because standard logbooks were failing me.
Hey everyone,
I’m a full-stack developer who also loves getting hands-on with my car (doing my own diagnostics, insulation projects, etc.). Keeping a meticulous log of expenses, parts, and fuel economy using spreadsheets was getting out of hand. I wanted a truly centralized digital garage, so I built Otonot using Flutter.
I wanted to solve two major pain points in the automotive ownership lifecycle:
- The Communication Gap with Mechanics: I built a "Mechanic Mode". You generate a secure code for your local auto shop, and they log the exact parts, labor costs, and repair status directly into your app's logbook. You get real-time push notifications when the status changes.
- Preserving Resale Value: I added a "Vehicle History Transfer" feature. When selling your car, you can securely transfer the entire verified maintenance and fuel log to the buyer's account with a single tap.
It handles multiple currencies, flexible unit support (Liters/Gallons, KM/Miles), and detailed visual analytics for budgeting.
The app is live on both the App Store and Google Play. I’d really appreciate any feedback on the UI/UX or the feature set from this community. What do you think about the Mechanic Mode adoption in real-world scenarios?
