About Check1

Check1 turns a DJ’s gear closet into an insurance-ready inventory. Point your phone at a piece of equipment and Check1 identifies it, values it, and keeps the photos, serial numbers, and receipts an insurer asks for after a theft or loss — so if the worst happens, you can prove what you owned. It works offline in the storage unit, tracks warranties, and keeps a running total of what your rig is worth.

Check1 is built by 1time studios, an independent studio founded by working DJs — no investors, no data sold. It launches on iOS and Android in August 2026; founding members lock in $29/year for as long as they stay subscribed.
