The Android app

On your Android phone, open loadoutguard.com/get-the-app. It takes you to the app, or, while the app is in pilot testing, tells you how to get the install link from us.

Sign in with the email address or mobile number you were invited with. We send a 6-digit code; there's no password. The app isn't available for iPhone yet; everything it does for owners and managers also works on the web at loadoutguard.com.

• Fleet: every truck, what's on it, and what needs attention, as a list or on a map. Search for any tool by name, number, or tag.
• Alerts: what happened, with one-tap answers: acknowledge or resolve.
• Set up: add a truck, scan its unit, tag a box of tools by holding each tag to the phone, and send crew leads their sign-up link. See Setting up a truck.
• Each tool's page: its tag, battery, and where it was last heard. Check the tag tells you which tag you're holding; you can also replace a tag, move a tool to another truck, or retire it.
• Settings: your notifications and quiet hours, the assistant, after hours, and Delete my account.

A crew lead who installs the app sees their own truck and its alerts, and can answer them in the app ("On my way"). In Settings → Notifications they choose how to be reached: by text, or in the app first with a backup text 2 minutes later if they haven't opened it.

The app asks to send notifications when you finish setting up your first truck, or from Settings. After-hours alerts come with It's me and Not me buttons, so you can answer from the lock screen. If an answer can't be sent (no signal, or signed out), the notification says so and you can answer in the app.

To tag tools, the phone listens for tags nearby. Android asks for two things in a row: Nearby devices (tap Allow) and Location (tap While using the app), because Android treats listening for Bluetooth tags as location access. The camera is only for scanning a label's code, and you can type the code instead.

Help find equipment is optional: during a shift, your phone notes where it hears your company's tags, and a tool's page shows it next to what the trucks heard.

The app doesn't sell anything. If there's a problem with your company's payment, a line at the top says so, and the owner fixes it on the web. See Billing.
