Getting Started
Modutrack keeps a verified history of the physical things you own as their parts get swapped, upgraded, and replaced over time. Instead of tracking how many of something you have, it tracks the pedigree of each individual item — where every part has been, what work it has had done, and what state it's in today.
This is the "Ship of Theseus" problem: when you replace enough parts, is it still the same object? Modutrack answers that question with a complete, trustworthy record.
Core ideas
- Asset — a top-level object you own, such as a bicycle, a camera body, or a coffee grinder. It is the root of everything attached to it.
- Component — a part that belongs to an asset, or is nested under another component. Components can be moved between assets, and their history follows them.
- Service Log — a timestamped record of maintenance performed on an asset or component, including cost and notes.
- Pedigree — the complete history of an asset or component over its lifetime.
Signing in
Modutrack uses Google sign-in — there is no separate account to create. From the landing page, choose Continue with Google and approve access. Your data is private to your account.
Your first asset
- Sign in, then open the Assets page.
- Choose Add Asset and give it a name (for example, "Trek Domane SL6").
- Add any details you have — serial number, purchase date, and a category.
- Save. Your asset now appears on the dashboard, ready for you to attach components and log services.
Next, learn how to manage assets and attach components.
Dashboard highlights
Once you have assets and components, the Dashboard provides:
- Cost Breakdown — a stacked bar showing how your spend is split between asset purchases, component purchases, and service work.
- Health Status — a quick summary of overdue and upcoming maintenance. Click it to open the full Health Dashboard.
- Recent Activity — your five most recent service logs and component moves.
The bell icon in the nav bar shows unread maintenance and warranty alerts. See Dashboard, Cost Analytics & Notifications for details.
