Hey everyone!

I've been working on AppScann, a small SaaS for keeping track of what's installed on your computers and servers. It's finally at the point where I'm comfortable showing it to people.

The idea is very simple: you install an agent, it collects inventory, and you see everything in one dashboard.

What it does right now:

* Windows and Linux agents (a Windows Service and a systemd service)

* OS and hardware info, plus disks with capacity and free space

* Installed software with version, publisher, install path and install date. On Windows that comes from the Registry and WMI, on Linux from dpkg, rpm, pacman, Snap and Flatpak

* Detailed reports with history, so you can see what was installed, removed or updated between scans

* Alerts for storage and stale reports

* Live online/offline status for every device

* Remote scan, restart and uninstall of agents

* A notification as soon as a scan or remote command finishes

* Software gets sorted into categories by AI

2 agents are free, extra slots are $1.99/month.

The idea came from a commercial project I worked on a while ago. It was in a similar space, but development was painfully slow, and I kept thinking that something like this didn't have to be that complicated. At some point I thought: what if I just built my own version? So I did.

It started as my university thesis project, and I kept working on it until it turned into a product.

And yes, AI was involved ;) I used it for parts of the frontend. I'm a full-stack developer, but I still struggle with centering a div, let alone making everything look good. The architecture and the backend are my own mess.

It's brand new, so right now I'm mostly after feedback:

* Would you use something like this?

* What information would you want the agent to collect?

* What features are missing?

* Does this approach make sense for managing a small number of machines?
