Built by mechanics, for mechanics

Inventory for every mechanic. Community for IUEC members.

TechLynk pairs a free, offline-first tool to track your tools and truck stock with a verified IUEC members-only community — forum, messaging, and an AI Business Agent. The inventory is the open front door; the community is the part that can't be cloned.

Works fully offline — in the hoistway, the machine room, the basement. Sync when you choose.

Two tiers, one app

An open utility anyone in the trade can use, and a gated community that stays walled off behind IUEC verification. Verification isn't a toll booth — it's the upgrade you opt into.

🪪 IUEC members' community

Verify your card once to unlock the members-only side. Stay verified-but-anonymous with a pseudonym. The candid stuff — pay, employers, grievances — stays behind the wall.

  • Local & General forums (self-hosted Discourse)
  • Member-to-member DMs and group chats
  • AI Business Agent — answers & drafts, with citations
  • Quarterly card check, verify-then-delete

The open front door

A personal utility that compromises nothing by being open — your tools, your stock, your device.

📴

Offline-first

Elevator work happens with no signal. TechLynk works fully offline and syncs when connectivity returns.

📷

Photo & price

Snap a photo, set quantity and price, tag the SKU and where it lives. Auto-downscaled, stored on-device.

📊

Know your kit

Live search, category filters, and a value breakdown so you know what you carry and what it's worth.

The part that can't be cloned

Candid discussion needs trust. Verification is the bridge — and the moat.

💬

Forum

Threaded Local and General discussion on self-hosted Discourse, seeded with proven categories from the trade.

✉️

Messaging

Direct messages and group chats between verified members — verified-but-anonymous by design.

🤖

AI Business Agent

Ask plain-English questions and draft text from your org's agreement documents — retrieval and citation, never wholesale copies.

From first tool to full member

You're already a user by the time you're eligible — verification just opens the rest.
