Run the shed.Don’t let it run you.
Shed Manager is one app for everything your committee keeps track of: members and fees, who’s in the shed, the roster, the machines and the meetings. It does the chasing, the counting and the reminding, so you can get back to the shed.
Made by a shed, for sheds in Australia and New Zealand.
From $400 a year, everything included, with a free trial.
What you see when you open the app.
Sound familiar?
- The sign-in sheets only get half filled in, and a grant application wants last year’s attendance.
- There are six versions of your member register and nobody knows which one is current.
- Renewal time means a month of phone calls to work out who paid their fees from a company bank account with no reference.
- A member injures themselves and nobody at the shed knows their emergency contact.
- You get the committee meeting minutes days before the next meeting and are reminded that you have actions from last month you haven't started.
Shed Manager keeps all of it in one place, so the shed doesn’t depend on any one person.
Start with the job that gives you the most grief.
Most sheds come to Shed Manager for one of these. Everything else comes with it at no extra cost.
Know who’s in the shed, and who to ring if someone has an accident.
Members check in by scanning a QR code at the door with their phone. The list of who’s in is your evacuation list, and if anyone has an accident, any member can get to the emergency contact list in seconds.
See how sign-in worksAlways know who’s a member and who’s paid.
New members submit their application and it goes straight in. At renewal time you see at a glance who’s paid, and if your Treasurer uses Shed Manager for the accounts, the invoices and reminders go out by themselves.
See how renewals workGrant figures that count themselves.
Attendance, events and volunteer hours are counted as they happen. The year’s figures are on one sheet when you need them for a grant application or for when the annual report is being drafted.
See the grant figuresSend the meeting invite and let committee members add agenda items themselves.
Stop chasing committee members for replies, agenda items, or papers to be discussed. The system builds the agenda from member submissions, and you can write the minutes as you meet, assigning actions keep on the agenda until they get marked as completed.

Your members don’t have to learn anything.
Members can use the app on their phone, but nobody has to. When there’s something to tell them, you can email them straight from the app.
Getting started is the easy part.
Send us your member list as it is, a spreadsheet or even paper, and we bring it across with you on a one-hour call.
How getting started works$400 a year. Everything included.
That’s under $8 a week for a shed under 50 members. There’s no cheap version with bits missing.

Your shed's records belong to your shed. Download your members, attendance, machines and books as spreadsheets whenever you like, and if you ever leave, you take them with you.
How we look after themMade by a shed, for sheds.
Every shed has a system that works until the person who built it steps down. Shed Manager was built by a former Secretary and President of a Men’s Shed in Melbourne, in a way that the next committee can pick it up without being shown.
Have a look this week.
About 45 minutes on a video call, with your own shed’s records if you’d like. Bring whoever on the committee does the most typing.
