Put It Back

Stop guessing where that screw, cable or bracket went.

Put It Back turns your own photos and video into a clear, reusable visual repair log. Capture DIY repairs, teardowns and repeatable builds as you work, then follow your saved states in the direction you need: forwards for a build, or backwards to put a dismantled object back together.

Your work, turned into a guide

• Take a photo at every change
• Record a full work session and mark key states without stopping
• Use either volume button to mark a state while your hands are busy
• Import an existing video, scrub the timeline and select exact guide frames
• Pause and resume recordings, then return to unfinished video review drafts
• Let Put It Back choose a sharp frame near each marker before extraction

Reassembly without the guesswork

• Reverse a teardown into an ordered reassembly guide
• Create forward guides for assembly, craft, workshop or repeatable tasks
• Complete steps in the correct order with progress saved automatically
• Switch between primary and close-up detail views
• Overlay a saved target photo on the live camera and adjust its transparency to align parts visually
• Reset and reuse a finished guide as often as you need

Capture the details that matter

• Add a primary photo and up to two close-up detail photos per state
• Record change notes, removed-part names, quantities and part notes
• Save a parts-tray photo with a step
• Add colour-coded arrows, circles and numbered pins
• Move, resize or delete markup with undo and redo
• Take photos with flash, zoom, a three-second timer or either volume key

One purchase. The whole app.

No subscription. No ads. No in-app purchases. No account. No locked feature tiers. Create as many projects and guide steps as your device storage allows, and reuse your guides without limits.

Private and offline by design

Your repair data, photos and source videos stay in private storage on your Android device. There is no cloud service, analytics, tracking, telemetry or advertising. Audio recording is optional and off by default. Put It Back works offline, and Android cloud backup is disabled.

Export, import and keep control

Export a guide as a portable .putback project file and import it later on another compatible device. Guide photos are checksum-verified during import, and unsafe or corrupt project files are rejected. Source videos stay on the original device and are not included in exports. Export files are not encrypted, so store and share them with care.

Made for electronics, appliances, furniture, bikes, models, mechanical projects, craft builds and anything else you need to take apart—and put back.

Put It Back records your own process; it does not diagnose faults or provide repair or safety advice. Disconnect power, follow manufacturer guidance and work within your ability.
