50-word description
Torq is an iOS torque-spec lookup. Pick year, make, model, and engine. Every value carries a trust tier — OEM, community, or unverified — and a cited source. Toggle ft·lbs and Nm. Save your garage offline. Free for one vehicle; Pro is $29.99 a year for the whole garage.
150-word description
Torq is a reference tool for anyone who turns a wrench. Pick a vehicle by year, make, model, and engine; pick the system you're working on; read the spec in your preferred unit.
What makes Torq different from a forum thread or a search result: every value has a trust tier on it. OEM means it came out of a manufacturer service manual. Community means a working mechanic submitted it and others vetted it. Unverified means it's a starting point — verify before you torque. Sources are cited with page numbers where available.
Free tier saves one vehicle. Torq Pro is $29.99 a year and unlocks unlimited vehicles, an OEM-only filter, and full offline access to your saved garage. No ads, ever. Built by mechanics for mechanics. iOS only at launch; Android is on the roadmap.

Quotable soundbites
01
“A wrong torque spec on a forum thread can stretch a head bolt, warp a head, or strand someone on the side of a freeway. The data layer for wrenching deserves to be sourced.”
02
“Every value in Torq carries a badge: OEM, community, or unverified. The badge is the source of truth. Mystery numbers are the bug we are fixing.”
03
“Mechanics already know which forum posts to trust and which to ignore. Torq just makes that trust visible — and citable — to everyone else.”
04
“We charge $29.99 a year because we do not sell ads and we do not sell user data. A torque app should not be monetized by the same playbook as a free-to-play game.”
05
“Numbers are mono. Words are sans. No marketing copy in the UI. Torq is built to look like the inside of a service manual, not the inside of a consumer app.”
