Record one clear action per step.
A specific title, consistent movement orientation, and exact tray cell make the reverse trail easier to scan later.
Caliber Trail Support · updated July 26, 2026
Keep the context with the step.
Practical guidance for intake records, optional bench photos, markers, tray assignments, reverse-order reassembly, parts, timing notes, reports, and backups.
Use a photo when it adds context.
Capture one from the bench, select one with Apple’s Photos picker, or keep the step text-only. Camera permission is not required for the rest of the app.
Your service record stays local.
Caliber Trail has no account, advertising, analytics, tracking, subscription, or developer-operated cloud service.
Start a service trail
Create a job before disassembly and enter only the identity fields useful at your bench: title, maker, model, caliber or movement, reference or serial, intake date, due date, status, and notes. Customer information is optional. Avoid entering information you do not need in the record.
Capture teardown
Add steps in the order parts are removed. Short, specific titles are easier to scan in reverse. Assign the movement module and tray cell, then record screw differences, part observations, orientation, lubrication observations, or other details in your own words.
Caliber Trail organizes what you record. It does not identify a movement or part, diagnose a watch, select a lubricant, or supply a repair procedure. Verify every action against your training, the applicable technical documentation, and the movement in front of you.
Photos and numbered markers
A photo is optional. Use the camera action to capture a bench image or Apple’s Photos picker to select one. Keep the movement orientation and lighting consistent when possible. Place numbered markers over the positions whose meaning you explain in the step or marker notes.
If camera access was denied, use the Photos picker or continue with a text-only step. Camera permission can also be reviewed in the iOS Settings app. Caliber Trail copies a captured or selected photo into its private local storage.
Reassembly
Reassembly presents the recorded removal steps in reverse order. Open each step to review its photo, markers, module, tray cell, and notes, then mark the checklist as work progresses. The checklist reflects the user’s own record; it is not a movement-specific service instruction or approval.
Parts and timing records
Use the parts queue for replacements, research, orders, receipts, installations, suppliers, costs, and follow-up notes. These values are private planning records and are not orders placed by the app.
Timing values are entered manually from observations or bench equipment used separately. Caliber Trail does not use the microphone, connect to a timegrapher, take a measurement, diagnose performance, or decide whether a value is acceptable.
PDF reports and portable backups
A PDF is a readable service summary. A `.calibertrail` file is a portable backup intended to preserve editable project content. Save exports to a location you control. Before deleting an important local job or moving to another device, import the backup and verify the expected text, photos, markers, parts, and timing entries.
Files leave the app only after you choose a destination through an Apple system share or file interface. A cloud-backed or third-party destination handles the file under that provider’s terms and your device settings.
Saved work and deletion
Jobs and their media are stored locally on the iPhone or iPad. Caliber Trail has no account or developer synchronization service. Delete a job only after confirming its exports and backups, if any. Removing the app may remove its local records, subject to Apple device backup and restore behavior.
Purchases
Caliber Trail is a US $9.99 one-time paid download. There are no subscriptions or in-app purchases. Apple handles downloads, payment, refunds, and Family Sharing availability through the App Store. Prices may vary by storefront.
Accessibility
Caliber Trail uses system text sizing and provides VoiceOver labels for key content, including step numbers, photo markers, job status, timing entries, and reassembly progress. Interface motion is reduced when Reduce Motion is enabled in iOS or iPadOS.
Photos and marker positions contain visual spatial context that cannot always be conveyed completely without viewing the image; marker labels and legends provide a text reference. If larger text clips, VoiceOver reads an item unclearly, or a control is difficult to use, include the device, operating-system version, accessibility setting, and screen involved in a support message.
Contact support
If something is not working as expected, email mannykin333@gmail.com. Include the Caliber Trail version, device model, iOS or iPadOS version, and the step you were working on. Do not send a client name, serial number, confidential bench photo, or full backup unless it is necessary and you are permitted to share it.
Support is provided by email on a best-effort basis. Messages are reviewed as availability permits, and no specific response time is guaranteed.
