bootlog

Remember everything you've ever owned.

bootlog is a home for the technology you loved and the stories that came with it: the first phone you unboxed, the laptop that survived a backpack in the rain, the handheld you lost on a glacier. Build a timeline, share it, and swap stories with people who get it.

See it in action

Dozens of old mobile phones laid out in rows on a cloth — Every phone you've ever carried has a story.

Phone, headphones, camera lens and game controller arranged flat on a table — Cameras, consoles, earbuds, laptops: it all counts.

Your wordsmemories, not spec sheets

Why bootlog

Not a review site. A place for your stories.

People have strong memories of their gadgets but nowhere to keep them. bootlog lets you catalogue what you've owned and share how it shaped your life.

Tell the story, not the spec sheet

Add memories to every device: opening the box, the road trip, the unexpected call that changed everything.

Import instead of typing

Paste a Reddit flair or XDA signature, describe your history in plain words, or upload a screenshot. We build the timeline for you.

Fuzzy dates are welcome

"Around 2004" is fine. Statistics are approximate and uncertainty-aware, so you never need to invent exact dates.

You choose what's public

Entries are private by default. Publish a profile page when you're ready and share a single link.

Insights on your tech life

See your longest-owned device, favourite maker, upgrade count, and what you owned in any given year.

Connect over shared gear
