PistonbookYour logbook, on the big screen too.
The same app as on your phone, in your computer's or your iPhone's browser. Enter an invoice at the office, prepare a sale listing or read through the history in comfort: everything comes back to your phone.
Free during testing. After that, because of hosting costs, it will be for Premium members, at a token price (under €2 a month).
In shortThe Pistonbook web version opens with an account or an online backup code. The logbook is downloaded encrypted, decrypted in the tab and kept in memory: nothing is written to the computer. Each change is sent back encrypted a few seconds later and reaches the phone the next time it opens.
How does it work?
Turn on online backup
On the phone, with an account or a recovery code. No account yet? You can also create one from the web version.

Work, it is saved
Each change is sent encrypted a few seconds later. The phone picks it up the next time it opens.
An icon on your home screen
On iPhone, or on Android without the Play Store, the web version installs like an app, full screen.

Android

Web version
Can I use Pistonbook on a computer?
Yes, with the web version, in beta and free during testing: the same app in the browser, opened with your account or your online backup code. What you change there comes back to your phone.
Is my data stored on the computer?
No. The logbook is decrypted in the tab and kept in memory, then erased when you sign out or close it. With "Stay signed in", only the session is kept by the browser, and the logbook is downloaded again each time.
Will the web version stay free?
It is free during testing, to gather your feedback. After that, because of hosting costs, it will be for Premium members. The phone app stays free.
