Lendra
Log who has which laptop, tool, or camera checked out, and get automatic overdue flags on a live dashboard.
The problem it solves
Every team that shares gear has the same quiet chaos: the good drill is missing, a laptop walked off after an event, and nobody remembers who took the projector. The "system" is a whiteboard, a clipboard, or a spreadsheet that's always out of date. Cloud asset-tracking SaaS solves it, but it's overkill: depreciation schedules, ticketing, per-seat pricing, and it puts your inventory on someone else's server for a monthly fee.
- No live record of who currently has what
- Nothing stops the same item being lent out twice
- Overdue items go unnoticed until someone has to ask around
What you get
Live "who has what" dashboard
See available, checked-out, and overdue counts plus a currently-out table at a glance.
Guided check-out / check-in
Pick an asset and borrower with a due date; check-in records the returned condition and puts it back on the shelf.
Automatic overdue flags
Anything past its due date is flagged with how many days late it is and who to chase.
Full loan history
Every asset and borrower keeps a complete history, exportable to CSV for all, open, or overdue loans.
Tested double-booking guard
A state machine, backed by a 70+ assertion test suite, guarantees an asset can never be lent to two people at once.
Pricing — one-time, yours forever

Honest limitations
- Single-tenant: one organization per installation
- No barcode/scanner hardware integration built in (asset tags are typed/searched)
- Overdue reminders are surfaced in the app; automated reminder emails require wiring the notification address into your own cron, a documented, deliberate scope choice
- Not an accounting or rental-billing tool — no pricing, invoices, or payments
Two-minute web installer, PHP 8+ with MySQL or SQLite, with one-click demo data included.
Frequently asked questions
Isn't this just a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet doesn't stop you double-lending the same laptop, doesn't flag overdue items, doesn't keep a per-person history, and doesn't give five people a shared, always-current view. Lendra enforces the rules a spreadsheet only hopes you'll follow.
Will this run on shared hosting?
Yes. It needs PHP 8+ with PDO — present on virtually every cPanel/Plesk host. The web installer takes about two minutes.
Can I trust the core logic?
The check-out/check-in engine ships with an automated test suite (70+ assertions) proving you can't double-check-out an asset, can't lend something in maintenance or retired, and that overdue detection is exact at the due-date boundary.
Is it going to be bloated and hard to learn?
No — that's the whole idea. It's the lending log and nothing else: no depreciation, no tickets, no per-seat licensing.
Does it work with barcode scanners?
Not out of the box — asset tags are typed or searched rather than scanned with handheld-scanner hardware.
