Your machine shop, under control.
From drop-off to pickup.

One monthly plan per shop, with up to 5 users and every feature included. You'll see the exact price in your currency in the App Store or Google Play, and in the app, before you subscribe. First you get a 14-day free trial, no card needed. No contract: you pay month to month and stop whenever you want.

We won't promise you a savings figure: we don't know your shop, and any number we made up would be a lie. What NOCTUX does is show you where money is slipping away (unpaid jobs, stalled jobs, unanswered quotes, parts waiting on a spare, late deliveries), and with that in front of you, you decide. Run the numbers for your own shop in the calculator.

Yes, right now and without signing up: there's the app tour, with a one-minute video and five screens explained, the real screenshots on this page, and both full guides (owner and mechanic). And if you want to see it with your own jobs, download it and try it free for 14 days: no need to talk to anyone there either.

Download the app, tap “Try free for 14 days” and create your shop: it takes two minutes and no card is needed. You start with sample jobs to see how it works and, whenever you're ready, you add your own and invite your team from inside the app. If you get stuck, go to Settings and tap “Talk to support”.

A person, not a call center: Héctor López Roldán, who wrote the app and is the one who answers you. Inside the app you have a chat with him (Settings → “Talk to support”), and if you don't have it yet, you can write to [email protected]. NOCTUX is run from Spain; the full business details are at the bottom of this page and in the terms.

On iPhone and iPad from the App Store, on Android from Google Play, and in any browser on a phone, tablet or computer at noctuxapp.com/app. Everything syncs instantly across all three.

No. When you check in a cylinder head, the app loads its five inspections (pressure test, flatness, cracks, valves and measurements), its nine tasks and the spare parts it usually needs on its own; same for the engine block, crankshaft, connecting rod, complete engine and injector. The machinist taps instead of typing. Everything can be edited in Settings, and you can add your own part types. Take a look here.

It's built so a machinist gets it on day one: the team guide takes five minutes to read. You can read both right now, no sign-up: owner's guide and mechanic's guide. And the trial starts with sample jobs, so you see it working before you enter anything of your own.

No. The iPhone, iPad and Android apps are free to download. The only thing you pay for is the shop's subscription, which the owner takes out from inside the app when the trial ends, with the price shown in the store in your currency. It covers the whole team and all their devices.

If you're the owner, tap “Try free for 14 days” and create your shop. If your shop already uses NOCTUX, ask your boss for an invite: when you open the app, tap “My shop invited me” and enter the code they send you. If something won't let you in, email us at [email protected].

You take the shop's data with you in an Excel file: customers, jobs, tasks, inspections, spare parts and download links for the photos and videos. No penalty, nothing held back.

The shop decides which alerts to turn on for new jobs and status changes, and whether the whole team gets them or just the office. Push notifications arrive in the mobile app.

Automatic backup every day and Google Cloud servers in Europe, in compliance with the GDPR. Each shop only sees its own data.

It was born and proven in engine machine work, and it comes ready for that: every part already has its inspections, tasks and spare parts. It works just as well in any shop where the customer brings in the part (turbos, injection, transmissions, alternators, radiators, machinery), because the flow is the same. Where it doesn't fit is general auto repair, body shops or quick lube: there the vehicle stays and you need scheduling, inspections and invoicing, which NOCTUX doesn't do. If you're not sure, write to us and we'll give you a straight answer.
