About CommonTier

Useful mobile software for the things people actually manage.

CommonTier Apps LLC publishes focused mobile apps that turn everyday ownership, buying, and home organization into simple digital workflows. Our first product helps people catalog garage tools with photos, AI identification, and searchable context — so every purchase decision starts with what they already have.

ToolVault snapshot

Photo inventory

Every tool added as an image first, the way it sits in your garage.

AI identification

The app suggests what a tool is; you confirm and it's catalogued.

Fast search

Searchable context means the right tool surfaces in seconds.

First product — ToolVault

A garage inventory that pays for itself the first time you don't re-buy.

Photo-first inventory built around the way tools live in real garages — capture, organize, identify, and check before you buy.

01

Capture by photo

Add tools visually instead of typing long item details from memory. Snap it, and ToolVault does the rest.

02

AI identification

Let the app suggest what a tool is, then confirm and save it — no manual catalog numbers required.

03

Organize storage

Track where each tool lives, from wall racks to toolboxes and bins, so nothing goes missing again.

04

Avoid duplicates

Check your inventory before a hardware-store run or online order — and keep your money for the tools you're missing.

Second product — StoryForger™

Forge a hero, villain, or antihero origin story from your imagination.

Answer guided questions, shape a character, and turn your ideas into a polished origin story plus a ready-to-use image prompt.

“Every unforgettable character begins with a wound, a choice, and a reason to keep going.”

01

Choose a path

Hero, Villain, or Antihero. Each path asks story-shaped questions — never a blank form — to draw the character out of you.

02

A wound, a flaw, a choice

Name, wound, flaw, power, world, and a defining choice — the bones every memorable character is built from.

03

A polished origin story

Your answers become a literary, cinematic origin story you can read, share, or build a whole world around.

04

A ready-to-use image prompt

Every forge ends with a copy-paste image prompt, so your character can have a face in minutes.

Paid add-on
