The digital maintenance logbookfor ultralight pilots

Hobbsless automatically tracks engine time and keeps a living maintenance record for your paramotor or ultralight. No wired Hobbs, no spreadsheets, just a small stick on your frame and a smart logbook in the cloud.

Automatic engine hours

Vibration-based stick logs every session, no switches, no cables, no forgetting.

Smart maintenance reminders

Plugs, belts, carb, reserve repacks, wing life and more, all in one place.

Built for ultralights

Paramotors, paragliders (wing-only), trikes, PPC & other ultralights.

How Hobbsless Works

Three simple section title decorationsteps

Get up and running in minutes

1
Mount the stick

Attach the small vibration-sensing stick to your frame, pair it once, and forget it. No wiring into your engine, no cockpit clutter.

2
Just fly

Every time the engine runs, Hobbsless quietly tracks runtime in the background. Flights are stored locally until they sync.

3
Review & maintain

Your engine hours and maintenance items show up in a clean, mobile-friendly dashboard with clear "coming due" and "overdue" indicators.

Why Track?

Why bother tracking all this?

Track maintenance before something fails

Safety
Because "I think it was around 30 hours ago…" isn't a plan.

Most paramotor and ultralight pilots track maintenance in their head, a notebook, or not at all. Hobbsless gives you an always-up-to-date picture of plugs, belts, carbs, reserves, and wing life, before something fails.

Resale
A clean digital history makes your gear worth more.

When it's time to sell, export a maintenance report that shows exactly how your engine and wing were cared for. No guesswork, no stories, just data.

Headspace
Offload your brain to the logbook.

Instead of wondering "How many hours are really on this top end?", you'll know. Hobbsless keeps track so you can focus on launches, landings, and the view.
