Hey everyone,

I realize this is an old thread, but I thought I’d post anyway, for those people who came here recently. I had the same problem (keeping track of electronic parts) and ended up launching an application that does it right.

Check out PartsBox https://partsbox.io/ — it’s free for hobbyists/makers. Businesses need to pay, but should get lots of value out of it, so that should not be a problem. Functionality is designed so that no hobbyist should need things from the commercial plans (you don’t normally need lot control, internal part numbers, or real-time BOM pricing as a hobbyist).

Hey guys,

This is an old thread but just in case someone stumbles upon it, here’s my recommendation:

BOMIST - https://bomist.com

It’s a software that runs locally on your computer (not cloud nor web based) but has several online utilities, making it “smarter”. You can have as many databases (called Workspaces) as you like and its FREE for maker/hobbyist usage.
