JewellerDesk: Jeweler's Bench

WHAT IT DOES

JewellerDesk is an offline intake record for a jewelry repair counter. It records the condition a piece came in, before the work is agreed, and produces the receipt the customer keeps.

The intake, in the order it happens • Customer, ticket reference and who took it in. The app does not number jobs for you, so the envelope and the record cannot disagree • The item as the customer describes it, and as you see it • Every stone counted and marked secure, loose, missing or not checked. A stone lost later stops being an argument about when • Condition photographs at the counter, before anything is agreed. A note written afterwards says nothing about what came in. Each one is numbered P1, P2, P3 in the order taken • The declared value, in the customer's own words • The customer signs • At handover, the intake and handover photographs side by side, and a second signature

The board • Counters for what is in the safe, due today, overdue and ready. Tap one to see only those jobs • Every job shows the piece's first photograph. Any photograph opens full screen with zoom

The record names its own gaps • A job with no photograph, no signature or an unchecked stone says so on its face rather than looking complete • Status through the shop: in the shop, at the bench, ready, collected, or returned with no work done • Held days, so nothing sits in the safe unnoticed • A nudge for work that is ready and still uncollected • Edit any part of the record later, and keep notes for the bench

The price • The quoted figure is kept separately from the running total, so a divergence is visible rather than hidden • The receipt prints the quoted figure and the date it was agreed

The receipt • The customer's copy, with the condition, the stones, the declared value and the signature • Photographs printed two to a row, with the same P1, P2, P3 numbers the app shows • It says in its own words that the declared value is what the customer stated, that it is not a valuation, and that the shop has not assessed, graded or authenticated the piece • It carries no exclusion of liability, which would not be enforceable against a consumer in the UK • Printed in English, whatever language the app is set to

The bench docket • One page for the bench: the ticket reference, the customer's name, the work agreed, the stones and the numbered photographs • No prices, no declared value and no contact details, so it can travel with the piece

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO

It does not value, grade, authenticate or identify anything: not the metal, not the hallmark, not the stones, not the piece. A declared value is what the customer told you and nothing more. Nothing in the app says a record is required, because no jurisdiction found requires one. Keeping the record reduces disagreement about the condition an item arrived in; it does not remove it, and it does not affect anyone's legal rights.

YOUR RECORDS STAY ON YOUR DEVICE

Customers, jobs, photographs and signatures are stored on the phone. There is no account and no sign in. Backup and restore is one file and it is not behind the paywall, because your record of somebody else's property should not be. The app does send crash reports and anonymous usage statistics. There are no ads.
