Welcome to MATER, short for Maintenance, Asset, Tracking, Equipment, Registry. This project is a personal endeavor by a coding newbie, designed to provide a self-hosted solution for tracking various assets such as hardware, computers, software, cars, or any item that requires maintenance or service.

🚧 USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. CURRENTLY IN ALPHA. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP A BACKUP OF ALL DATA ELSE WHERE

The current primary goals for the MATER project include:

• Mobile App: Develop a mobile application for seamless asset tracking on the go.

• Break-away Database: Implement a modular and scalable database architecture to enhance data management and give the user the option to use an exteneral database.

• Calendar Integration: Integrate calendar features for scheduling and managing maintenance activities and syncing to various calendar systems.

• API: Intergration with apps that house asset information (i.e Home assistant)
