In their own words
Shelf
Shelf is an open-source asset tracking platform that records what an organization owns, where items are, and who has custody of them. Its tools include bookings, audits, location tracking, asset pages, kits, consumables, calendars, dashboards, search, reminders, and workspaces. The free Shelf Companion app for iPhone and Android scans QR codes, supports audits and custody management, and handles booking check-ins and check-outs. The web app can be installed as a progressive web app on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux. Organizations can self-host with Docker and Supabase or use managed cloud. All plans include unlimited assets; Personal is free and is limited to one user and three custom fields. Plus costs $34 a month, and Team costs $67 a month. Enterprise pricing is custom. Shelf says it uses TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest, but is not yet SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified. Its managed cloud stores data in Frankfurt and runs application servers in Amsterdam.
