The Gearbelt Mechanic Web App allows workshop teams to access schedules, repair forms, issue records, and work orders directly from a mobile browser. Because the app runs in a web browser rather than a downloaded application, team members must first receive the access link from a Gearbelt contributor. Saving this link to your mobile device home screen creates a shortcut, making it faster and easier to open the Gearbelt Mechanic Web App whenever you need it.
