With over 7,000 GitHub stars and active community maintenance through version 0.26.0 released in June 2026, Homebox fills the gap between inadequate spreadsheets and overcomplicated enterprise asset management by providing a purpose-built inventory system designed specifically for home users, families, and small groups. The Go backend with SQLite storage deploys as a single Docker container consuming under 50MB of RAM at idle, running on hardware as modest as a Raspberry Pi while the responsive web interface adapts seamlessly across desktops, tablets, and smartphones. The entity-based architecture introduced in v0.26 unifies items and locations into a shared structure supporting custom fields, attachments, entity types, and reusable templates for consistent data entry across inventory categories. QR code generation creates printable labels that scan with any smartphone camera to instantly display item details, photos, serial numbers, and associated documents. Warranty tracking records purchase dates, prices, and expiration dates while maintenance scheduling sends reminders for recurring service tasks. Location hierarchies organize items spatially with nested sub-locations, and flexible label tagging enables cross-cutting categorization beyond physical placement. Multi-user support shares collections with family members or roommates with OIDC single sign-on integration for Active Directory, Okta, and other identity providers. CSV import and export handles bulk operations, while the full REST API enables automation and third-party integrations. Collection-level ZIP export packages complete inventories with attachments for backup or migration. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Carbon delivers a unified manufacturing operating system that eliminates the integration tax of running separate ERP, MES, and QMS platforms. The Remix and TypeScript frontend paired with Supabase PostgreSQL backend provides full-stack type safety from database schema to React components, with real-time subscriptions pushing production floor updates to every connected client. The built-in MCP server exposes 1,374 operations across 15 modules through three discovery tools, enabling AI agents to interact with manufacturing data while respecting attribute-based access control. Nested bill of materials with unlimited depth supports complex assemblies, while the MRP engine calculates material requirements across multi-level structures with configurable lead times and safety stock. The configurator handles configure-to-order scenarios with rule-based variant generation. Full lot and serial traceability from receiving through shipping satisfies AS9100, ISO 13485, CFR Part 11, and ITAR compliance requirements. Custom fields extend any entity without schema modification, and the app framework lets integrators build domain-specific modules that plug into the core navigation, permissions, and data layer. Typed API clients for TypeScript, Python, C#, and cURL enable programmatic access to every manufacturing operation. Docker-based local development boots Postgres, Redis, Inngest, and the application stack with a single CLI command.

GLPI combines helpdesk ticketing, hardware inventory, license compliance, CMDB, and project management in a single PHP application with over 6,200 GitHub stars and 500,000+ Docker pulls, offering a unified ITSM platform that replaces ServiceNow, Freshservice, and ManageEngine without per-agent pricing. The ITIL-aligned service desk handles incidents, problems, changes, and service requests with configurable SLA management, approval workflows, satisfaction surveys, and business rules that automate ticket routing, escalation, and categorization. Native dynamic inventory through the GLPI Agent discovers Windows, Linux, and macOS endpoints with deep hardware profiling, while network discovery scans switches, printers, and infrastructure devices automatically. Software and license management tracks per-user and per-core license allocations with compliance reporting, expiration alerts, and financial cost tracking across the asset lifecycle from purchase through depreciation to disposal. Data center infrastructure management provides rack visualization with U-level positioning, PDU tracking, and connection mapping. The integrated forms editor builds custom request portals for end-users, while the self-service portal lets users submit tickets, browse the service catalog, and reserve assets. Webhooks trigger external HTTP calls on events, and the High-Level REST API v2 exposes every resource for automation. A plugin marketplace offers 90+ extensions for monitoring integration, advanced reporting, and authentication. Deploy via Docker with the glpi/glpi image alongside MySQL.

InvenTree is an inventory management system for electronics manufacturers, makerspaces, and small-to-medium businesses. The hierarchical part categorization system organizes components into unlimited nested categories, while stock items tracked across cascading locations and sub-locations provide instant visibility into current inventory levels, with optional serial number tracking for individual item traceability and acceptance testing. Intelligent BOM management calculates sub-part requirements, validates availability against current stock, supports multi-format BOM upload including KiCad integration, and generates detailed bills of materials with full database enrichment. Build orders consume BOM-allocated stock to produce assembled parts with step-by-step work order tracking, while purchase orders manage supplier relationships with pricing history, lead times, and automatic stock receipt processing. The modern React frontend built with Mantine, TanStack Query, and Zustand provides responsive data tables, tree-select navigation, a preview drawer, and a snippet editor. The extensible plugin system supports 19 mixin types including BarcodeMixin for scanner integration, LabelPrintingMixin for Zebra and Brother printers, AppMixin for custom database tables, and ScheduleMixin for periodic background tasks.

That yogurt hiding behind the ketchup expired three weeks ago, and the flour you bought "just in case" has been sitting in the pantry since last winter. EverShelf replaces mental guesswork with a structured inventory system that tracks every item across pantry, fridge, freezer, and custom locations with precise quantities, expiry dates, and consumption patterns. Scan barcodes with your phone camera to add products instantly, or let the Gemini AI identify items from a photo and estimate shelf life based on storage location. The dashboard surfaces expired items and upcoming expirations with color-coded urgency badges, while anomaly detection flags suspicious quantities and consumption predictions that deviate from your history. Opened products get reduced shelf-life calculations; vacuum-sealed items get extended dates automatically. The recipe engine generates context-aware meal suggestions from your current inventory, prioritizing ingredients approaching expiry so nothing goes to waste; each recipe includes step-by-step cooking mode with text-to-speech narration and timer integration. A smart shopping list auto-populates when stock hits zero and syncs bidirectionally with the Bring! app, with AI-estimated prices per item and consumption forecasts showing when you will need to restock. For Home Assistant users, a native HACS integration provides 22 sensors, expiry calendars, bidirectional todo-list sync, and voice assistant support for adding items hands-free. A dedicated Kiosk mode optimizes the interface for wall-mounted tablets with BLE scale integration.
