What is it?

Snipe-IT is an open source system for managing IT assets in an operations team. It keeps track of which person holds which laptop or other equipment, when each item was purchased, and how it should be depreciated. It also handles software license management alongside hardware records.

It is a web application built on Laravel 12 and runs on a web server, so users access it through a browser rather than installing a desktop program. The project supports Mac OS X, Linux and Windows hosts, and an official Docker image is available for container-based deployment.

The project offers a JSON REST API and has a number of third-party integrations and libraries, including sync scripts for Jamf, Kandji and UniFi, a Model Context Protocol server, and PowerShell and Python wrappers.
