I finally gave this a go a few days ago but wasn’t in love with the UI. I’d contribute but it’s written in .NET.
I’ll probably build something myself. One thing I’d like to do is have it integrate with other APIs (like Paperless).
Appreciate the circle back!
I'm running it. It's good. Tracks fuel mileage, PMs and repairs and can remind you of things either by time or mileage.
Ahhh, I'd love it if I could tie that in with a Bluetooth OBD dongle and Home Assistant. It'd be awesome if I could set up a BLE proxy in my carport to automatically update stuff. It'd be especially handy if I could get alerted about check engine codes.
Yeah, I’ve been looking for this as well. I’ve got a constant check engine light because the catalytic converter is dead, and that’s about the only thing on the car I don’t care about.
Oh cool, this looks like something I'd really like. I've been using a paid Android app called Simply Auto which is excellent, but self hosting is more fun.
Looks great but that is not a good name for an application
For what it's worth, you can replace the name in most locations: https://docs.lubelogger.com/Replacing%20The%20Logo.
- Keeps track of taxes(registration, going fast tax, etc)
Lmao
Where has that been all my life!
At the risk of sounding like an oaf I just use an excel document, and these days I just keep it in nextcloud and edit it via a browser while in the driveway. Each car gets a sheet. Keeping it simple.
I mean if it ain't broke don't fix it lmao we manage oil maintenance on our vehicles the same way, we have a wooden board at the back of the garage and we use a Sharpie to draw on that wooden board the mileage of the last oil change for each vehicle
I do something similar but with Grist
That's my method as well. That and a folder to hold all the receipts. When I sell the car, I print out the spreadsheet and then trash the receipts.
for receipts and such paperless ngx is good. that won't track your repairs or inform of you of likely maintenance problems, but that and a spread sheet sounds like a good start.
I’m thinking of building my own and having it use Paperless’ API for invoices, receipts, etc.
I would also be interested in such a thing. :)
I’m at the point where I want to just build it but it’s a matter of free time (I’m a full time web developer with a side business). Also, I wouldn’t know where to source car maintenance schedules.
Maybe an API of some sort. A quick search found michelins solution: https://ddi.michelin.com/en/preventive-maintenance-api/ and this one https://vehicledatabases.com/vehicle-maintenance-api
I would love one that would work for a fleet of vehicles/equipment, and had a webapp/android/ios interface. We have about 40 pieces of equipment and vehicles that we need to keep track of. If the phone apps had a connection to a bluetooth OBD dongle to update the odo or hourmeter, that would be pretty dope too.
I have a Bluetooth OBD-II scanner that works with Android/iOS but the app I use kind of sucks. Others I’ve found that claim to be something of a maintenance app suck as well.
Sometimes I wish I were an iOS developer.
I've been using aCar for over a decade. It's owned by Fuelly now, but all the cloud stuff is optional.
I keep track of my mileage, fuel, maintenance, etc. I can take pictures of receipts, make notes, etc. It's pretty easy, and I can save local backups of the data or have it sync to Dropbox or onedrive.
