I built a pinball management app for collectors and operators
Over the last few months I’ve been building a project called Pinventory:
It started because I was juggling machine info across notes apps, spreadsheets, photos, maintenance logs, parts orders, and “I swear I fixed this switch already” memory.
The goal is basically to make a modern system for managing pinball machines and collections.
Current stuff includes:
- machine inventory tracking - like pinside's collection management but on steroids
- maintenance / repair logging, including QR codes for users to scan to report issues if your game is on route
- audits and task tracking
- location management for operators
- native iOS / Android apps as well as the web interface
It’s aimed at collectors, operators, and anyone with enough machines that tracking everything becomes annoying.
This is still actively being built, but it’s usable now and I’m looking for feedback from people actually in the hobby.
A few things I’m especially curious about:
- What do you currently use to track your machines?
- What’s the most annoying part of managing a collection?
- What features would actually make this useful enough to switch to?
Would appreciate any thoughts, criticism, or feature ideas.
It's free btw! It's just a passion project and I just want to get it out there. I have a robust privacy policy and your data is yours, with export features and API access in case you ever decide it isn't for you or you've outgrown it.
