What Toolstash is
Toolstash is a free app for tracking tools, built for homeowners and hobbyists rather than professional crews. You add the tools you own along with where they are stored, so you stop buying a second drill you already had. When a neighbor borrows something, you log it in the app with a return date and get a reminder instead of a vague memory. The app also helps you look for people nearby who own the tool you need for a weekend project, and it includes advice on using and maintaining what you have. The pitch is simple: know what you own, and know who has it.
What you can do with it
- Catalogue your tools and where each one is stored
- Record loans and returns with reminders
- Search nearby for a tool you need before buying it
- Read usage and maintenance tips to keep tools working
Who it is for
- Homeowners with a garage, shed, or workshop
- Hobbyists who regularly lend and borrow equipment
- DIYers working on occasional weekend projects
What to watch out for
The value depends on other people nearby also using the app, so in a small area the search feature may return little. It is a mobile app, not a desktop asset system, so it will not replace warehouse software for a business. The feature list is narrow and focused on tools, and the page does not describe paid plans, data export, or offline behavior, so treat those as unknown until you check the current version. If you plan to rely on the return reminders, test them early rather than assuming they will fire on time.
