Maintenance software for machine shops

Keep your spindles turning.
Stop the unplanned downtime.

RunTight tracks runtime hours on every CNC, triggers PMs by spindle hours or calendar — whichever hits first — and sends work orders to your team's phones. Built for the shop where everyone wears multiple hats.

You can't bill for a machine that's down.

When the Haas goes down mid-job because nobody tracked the spindle hours, when the coolant turns rancid because the change got pushed to 'next week' three times, when your best machinist quits and takes all the maintenance knowledge with him — that's when you need a system.

Up and running in 3 steps

No consultants, no 6-month rollout, no training binder.

Step 1

Add your machines

Register your CNC mills, lathes, grinders, EDMs, and support equipment. Track spindle hours, way lube levels, and coolant condition.

Step 2

Set PM schedules

Schedule oil changes by spindle hours, coolant changes by calendar, and way lube checks by shift. Dual triggers catch whichever comes first.

Step 3

Team gets notified

Your machinists and setup techs get work orders on their phones. Complete the PM, log the hours, move on. No clipboards, no whiteboard.

Built for machine shops maintenance

Every feature designed for teams that maintain real equipment — not demo dashboards.

Meter-Based PMs

Spindle hours, not guesswork

Track runtime hours on every CNC and trigger PMs when thresholds are hit. Oil changes at 500 hours, spindle bearing checks at 2,000 hours, full service at 5,000 hours — RunTight watches the meters so you don't have to.
