LubeLogger review

LubeLogger is a small open source project that does one job well: it keeps maintenance and fuel records for a set of vehicles, and it costs nothing. Its site lists vehicle records for all work done with invoices and receipts attached, fuel economy tracking in MPG, UK MPG, L/100KM or KM/L, recurring reminders based on date, odometer or whichever comes first, an expense dashboard by year, month and category, and a planner for to-dos. Other features include multiple users, custom fields, CSV import and export, an API and single sign on. The GitHub repository shows an MIT license and distribution as a Docker image or a Windows standalone executable, and there is a live demo to try first. The trade off is that you host it, update it and back it up yourself, and it was built for vehicle owners rather than fleet operations, so there are no driver inspections, work orders or GPS. For a two to five vehicle business with someone technical, it replaces the spreadsheet.
