Your identity, appearance, and measurement units — just for you.

Identity

Theme
Light is the default — matches the website and reads well in a bright shop bay. Dark is easier on the eyes over a long night shift. System follows your OS setting.

Sign-in & security

Change password

At least 12 characters, with a letter, a number, and a symbol.

Two-factor authentication

Add a second step at sign-in with an authenticator app. Strongly recommended for owners and managers.

Set up 2FA →

Signed-in devices

Sign out everywhere — including this device. Use this if you've lost a phone or suspect someone else has your password.

Recent sign-ins

Your last 20 logins — review for any you don't recognize.

Address

Hours of operation

Your shop's public business hours. (Mobile route scheduling has its own window under Mobile scheduling.)

Branding

Your accent colour is used on the customer portal so it wears your shop's look.

Daedalus AI

RAG-grounded assistant for diagnostics, maintenance, and vehicle questions.

Without a key, Daedalus AI uses a local knowledge-base lookup — useful offline, but limited. Get a key at console.anthropic.com.

Backup & Recovery

Automatic snapshots of all your shop data — customers, vehicles, repair orders, invoices.

To restore: open View snapshots and pick a date. Daedalus auto-saves a pre-restore copy first so you can roll back. If the app won't start, run python -m daedalus.tools.restore_backup --latest.

Off-site backup

Keep a secure copy in a storage account you own — AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, or any S3-compatible provider. Daedalus encrypts before upload, so only you can read it. You set up the account and pay the provider directly (typically $1–5/month).

Download all your data

One file with everything on your shop's account — customers, vehicles, repair orders, estimates, invoices, and payments. A spreadsheet (CSV) for each, plus a machine-readable copy for moving into another system. It's yours, no contract, export anytime.

Live mirror to a computer you own

Keep a continuously-updated, read-only copy of all your shop data on a computer at your shop — the strongest ownership claim. Set it up once on an always-on computer; everything you need is right here.

  1. 1
    Download the backup app
    A small file. Runs on Windows, Mac, or Linux — needs Python (free) installed.
  2. 2
    Generate your secure key
    A one-time key the app uses to read your data. Shown once — keep it private (anyone with it can read your shop's data); you can revoke it anytime below.
  3. 3
    Start it on that computer
    Download your ready-to-run launcher into the same folder as the app (step 1), then double-click it. Your address + key are already built in — it installs the helper and starts backing up.
    Generate your key (step 2) to enable these.
    Leave the window open after it starts — closing it stops the backup; it re-syncs about every 5 minutes. Use a computer that stays awake (not a laptop that sleeps). Mac: if double-click doesn't open it, right-click the file → Open.
    Prefer to run the command yourself?
    In Terminal (Mac/Linux) or Command Prompt (Windows), in the app's folder:

What to send

          

            Choose which messages go out and on which channel.  Customers who
            opt out are always suppressed regardless of these defaults.

About Daedalus

          
Links and a bit of context on what you're using.

        

        

          

            These links open the public Daedalus brand sites.  The customer portal link
            is what you share with customers so they can view their service history.

Setup

          

            Walk back through the first-run setup wizard — taxes, labor rates,
            hours, and feature toggles. Everything here is also editable in the
            individual settings panels.
