Let’s face it: keeping track of product warranties is a headache most of us just avoid. That TV you bought last year? Still under warranty? What about your fridge? And where on earth did you keep the receipt?

Enter Warracker — a simple, open-source warranty tracker built to solve that exact problem. Whether you’re managing your own purchases or coordinating across a team, Warracker gives you a clean, centralized place to organize everything warranty-related — receipts, serials, expiry dates, alerts, and even photos.

Why Use Warracker?

Warracker is not trying to be another bloated asset management platform. It focuses purely on what matters: your warranties and the important documents tied to them. It’s lightweight, fast, and genuinely useful.

Key Features That Matter

• Smart Notifications – Get alerts before warranties expire. Notifications can come via email, Discord, Slack, Telegram and over 100 other channels thanks to Apprise integration.
• Document Uploads – Safely store your invoices, receipts, and manuals.

• Multi-user Support – Great for teams or households where multiple people need access.
• Open Standards – Export/import everything via CSV. Supports single sign-on (SSO) through Google, GitHub, and others.
• Status Dashboard – Track expiring warranties, usage stats, and more — all in a modern, mobile-friendly interface.

Built with Real Problems in Mind

Warracker didn’t come from a corporate boardroom. It was created after a frustrating personal experience. Imagine thinking you’re covered under warranty only to find out — too late — that you weren’t. That’s what happened to the developer behind Warracker when his father’s dishwasher broke.

That pain point turned into a passion project — and now, an open-source tool others can use to avoid the same headache.

Self-Host in Minutes

If you’re into self-hosting, you’ll love how easy it is to run Warracker using Docker. With just a few commands and some environment configuration, you can have your own private warranty tracker running in no time. PostgreSQL powers the backend, and a responsive frontend ensures it works great on desktop and mobile.

Here’s a basic idea of the setup:

services:
  warracker:
    image: ghcr.io/sassanix/warracker/main:latest
    ports:
      - "8005:80"
    volumes:
      - warracker_uploads:/data/uploads
    env_file:
      - .env

  warrackerdb:
    image: postgres:15-alpine
    volumes:
      - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    env_file:
      - .env

Everything you need to run this is on GitHub.

Thoughtful Extras

Warracker goes beyond just storage. It includes:

• Tag-based categorization
• Warranty claim tracking (coming soon)
• Localization support (coming soon)
• CSV import with validation rules
• Custom branding and reminder timing
• Password reset with secure tokens

In short, it does exactly what you need — and nothing you don’t.

Want to Contribute?

Warracker is open source and actively developed. If you have ideas, bug fixes, or just want to help improve the project, contributions are more than welcome. Just fork the repo, make your changes, and open a pull request. Be sure to check the contribution guidelines first.

Final Thoughts

Warracker might not sound glamorous at first — it’s not trying to be. But if you’ve ever scrambled for a receipt or lost money on an expired warranty, you know just how valuable this kind of tool can be.

Best of all? It’s open-source, free, and respects your control. You own your data. You decide how it runs. And if you find it useful, giving it a ⭐ on GitHub is the perfect way to say thanks.
