HobbsMate

HobbsMate is aircraft management software from HobbsMate, LLC, a bootstrapped, pilot-owned company in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, that turns photos of Hobbs and Tach meters into aircraft time, maintenance tracking and partner cost splits automatically. Available on the web, iOS and Android, the app reads the meters from the photo, drafts the flight entry with readings and route, and lets the pilot review, correct and approve before anything is saved, keeping the photo attached to the flight as proof of what the meter said. The company holds registered trademarks for HobbsMate and HobbsMate Intelligence and has a patent pending for automated flight logging using AI-powered instrument photo analysis and voice input.

Features

• Photo-based flight logging from Hobbs, Tach and fuel receipt photos, with manual logging available on every plan
• One approval that updates time to annual, cost per hour, amounts owed between partners and pilot-in-command time in the pilot's logbook
• Expenses, maintenance, airframe and engine logbooks with page previews, compliance and airworthiness directive tracking with a wizard that sorts FAA and EASA ADs into likely, possible and unlikely, and multi-country registry lookup
• FAA and EASA pilot logbook modes with Part-FCL exports, and HobbsMate Intelligence, a copilot that answers questions about the aircraft
• Partner splits by share, equal or fixed rules, netted into settlements

Team

HobbsMate started with a spreadsheet when Lance, a pilot, veteran and software engineer, decided to build something better for himself and his aircraft co-owner Brandon after finding existing software priced beyond its value. The small team uses the product itself and includes an engineer focused on latency and platform details and a creator who tells the company's story. A Bonanza co-owner quoted on the site says the app replaced her spreadsheet and settled cost splits without back and forth.

Shows

HobbsMate appears in the exhibitor lists of the Sun 'n Fun Aerospace Expo 2027 and EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2027.
