An app by Slay Apps

Rent it out. Get it back. Get paid.

Tool Rental is a simple rental desk app for tool and equipment rental shops. Check tools out at the counter, take a deposit, and always know what's out and what's late.

Runs in the browser. Built for an iPad on the counter.

Tool Rental's Today screen: 2 rentals ready for pickup, 14 tools out on rent and 1 late return.
How it works

The whole rental. Four steps.

From the moment a customer walks up to the counter to the moment their deposit is released.

  1. 1

    Book

    Search or scan a tool, pick the customer and choose the dates. Reserve ahead or rent on the spot.

  2. 2

    Hand over

    Take a card deposit, snap photos of the tool's condition and get the customer's signature.

  3. 3

    Return

    Check each tool back in and note any damage. Late days add up on their own, and partial returns are fine.

  4. 4

    Get paid

    Charge the rental, release the deposit and email the receipt. Done. Next customer.

Stuff we didn't build.

Rental software loves to sell you this stuff. Most rental counters never touch it, so it's not here. Less to learn, less to click past.

  • Franchise and multi-company accounting
  • Marketing campaigns and loyalty points
  • Drag-and-drop report designer
  • AI demand forecasting
  • Delivery dispatch and route planning
  • A settings page with 40 tabs

See it on your counter.

We'll walk you through the whole app on a short call. It won't take long. There isn't much to learn, and that's the point.
