What is PartKeepr?

PartKeepr is an electronic part inventory management software. It helps you to keep track of your available parts and assist you with re-ordering parts. PartKeepr is designed for hackerspaces with multiple users, but you can also use it to manage your personal electronic part inventory.

Project Status

This project is currently in alpha stage. Code quality is improving constantly. However, this project is not ready for production yet. Please try it out, but handle with care!

Note that currently some major refactoring takes place, if you want to keep track of the new development branch, please visit https://github.com/partkeepr/PartKeepr/tree/sf2migration.

Thanks

A very big "thank you" goes out to Georgyo of NYC resistor - although he claimed that he isn't creative, he invented the name "PartKeepr" which eventually became the project's name.
