A free, self-hosted workbench that helps brick collectors track sets and parts, find missing pieces in loose stock, and decide which unfinished builds they can complete.

Brick collectors managing loose parts and unfinished sets
Worth noticing
The public demo uses an invented collection of about seven real sets; changes made in it are not saved.

Field notes

The workflows go beyond a parts catalogue: Set Inspector tracks what is missing from a copy, while Orders allocates newly arrived pieces to the copies that need them. The install guide uses Docker Compose and says the project is meant for one user on a home network or VPN, not the open internet. The page also cautions that its Windows steps have not been tested on a real Windows computer.
