Every machine
keeps a history.
Yours should be
written down.
A maintenance journal, ownership ledger, and shop-manual library for collectors who actually open the coin door. Built by people who own machines, for people who maintain them.
What lives inside a record.
One page per machine — annotated below, like a watch movement diagram.
Medieval
Madness
Four tools you'll actually open the laptop for.
A timestamped journal for every machine you own.
Rubber rebuilds, board mods, ROM swaps, the time you found a screw rolling around in the cabinet. Tagged, attached, searchable.
A verified chain of custody, like a watch's papers.
When you sell, pass the logbook with the machine. Every owner, every service, every mod — signed off.
An expert who's read every service manual.
A chatbot trained on the manuals for your specific machine — wired to your serial, your ROM revision. In private beta.
A printed tag inside the coin door. One scan opens the logbook.
For your shop tech, your buddy borrowing the cab, or you at 11pm with a flashlight. No login, no app — just the record.

You bought it. Inherit the history.
Sales happen on Pinside, Facebook, in driveways. The seller hands you a one-page PinFax PDF with a claim code. You enter the code — the entire history is yours, and so is the rest of Pinlog.

Paste the code from the PinFax PDF the seller emailed you.
A pinball machine without a logbook is just a story you have to take on trust.
When you buy a watch, the papers add 30%. When you buy a car, the service book adds half. Pinball is the last serious hobby where six-figure machines change hands on a forum DM and a “trust me, bro.”
Pinlog is the receipt drawer. Free. Permanent. Yours.

Free, forever. About four minutes to set up your first machine.
