Hosted Warracker: managed warranty and receipt tracking for households tired of asking "where is the receipt?" the day something breaks.

Early Access

This app is a brand-new addition to ElfHosted, and is considered beta. It runs, we test it, and your trial lets you prove it fits before you commit, but our support team does not yet have deep experience with it. Expect some trial and error: lean on the upstream documentation, experiment freely, and share what you learn in Discord, where the community and team are figuring these new apps out together. If you need a battle-tested workflow today, our established apps are the safer pick.

What is Warracker?

Warracker tracks every product warranty you own in one place: purchase dates, warranty durations, serial numbers, vendors, and product photos, with receipts, invoices, and manuals stored alongside each record. When a warranty is about to expire, Warracker tells you, by email or via any of 100+ push services (Discord, Slack, ntfy, and more) through Apprise.

It also manages warranty claims end to end (statuses, dates, resolutions), supports tags, search, archiving, and CSV import/export, offers a 20-language interface, and handles multiple users with role-based permissions.

Key Features

• Everything about a purchase, together: Product, purchase date, warranty duration, serial number, vendor, photo, receipt, invoice, and manual in one record.
• Expiry alerts: Email or 100+ push services via Apprise, as far in advance as you like.
• Claim tracking: When something breaks, track the claim from filed to resolved.
• Tags and search: Filter by vendor, serial number, or product name across a big collection.
• CSV import and export: Bring an existing spreadsheet in quickly; your data is never locked in.
• Multi-user with roles: The whole household on one instance, each with appropriate permissions.
• Paperless-ngx integration: Already running a document-management workflow? Warracker can use Paperless-ngx for file storage.

Warracker in Your Stack

Warracker is the paperwork brain of an ElfHosted subscription: pair it with ntfy so expiry alerts land on your phone, and with LubeLogger, which does the same job for vehicles that Warracker does for everything else. The habit is simple: buy something, photograph the receipt, add it to Warracker, forget about it safely.

Why Run Warracker on ElfHosted?

Warranty records earn their keep years after you create them, which means the app holding them needs to still be running, backed up, and reachable when the dishwasher dies. That is exactly what ElfHosted provides.

• Managed access and support: Provisioned in minutes, kept updated, with humans on Discord when you need them.
• Plays well with other ElfHosted apps: Push alerts through your ntfy instance; sit beside LubeLogger on your dashboard.
• Persistent config: Records, documents, and users survive restarts and upgrades.
• Simple subscription: One flat monthly price with a 7-day trial, cancel anytime.

Works With

• ntfy: Expiry alerts pushed to your phone via Apprise.
• LubeLogger: The vehicle equivalent; together they cover the household.
• Paperless-ngx: Optional document-storage integration for existing DMS workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I log in?
Warracker manages its own accounts, and the first account registered becomes the owner and admin, so register as soon as your instance provisions. You can then disable open registration or add accounts for the rest of the household.

How do the expiry alerts work?
Under Settings you choose how far in advance to be warned and where the warning goes: email, or any Apprise-compatible push target. Your hosted ntfy instance works nicely here.

Can I import my existing warranty spreadsheet?
Yes, CSV import gets an existing sheet in quickly, and everything exports back out the same way.

Is it just warranties?
Warranties are the anchor, but each record also stores receipts, invoices, manuals, photos, and serial numbers, and the claims feature tracks repairs from filed to resolved.
