Update 16/03/26
Quick update on the Xcat App project.
Development is still underway and we’re continuing to build out the core features. The main goal is to create something that’s genuinely useful for DIY users and tradespeople rather than just another shop app.
Right now we’re focusing on getting the mobile interface and tool calculators working smoothly, along with the project dashboard and quick access tiles. Once those core parts are stable we’ll move on to things like saved tools, notifications and deeper integration with the Xcatalogue store.
It’s not quite ready for release yet, but progress is steady and the aim is to make the app genuinely helpful when you're working in the workshop or on a job.
More updates soon as development continues.
