Backstory: I have a handful of outgoing and incoming packages per day that I need to track. Many years ago there was a pretty good app that I used on my phone that mostly fit my needs, then the developer disappeared, and it slowly stopped working. Started using another app (I think it was AfterShip) and it was nowhere near as nice. I found it clunky and unreliable, so I stopped using it.

I've done some googling, and it looks like all of the self hosted package tracking projects that I can find ended up being abandoned 4 or 5 years ago after the 3rd party service they used started charging to use their API.

Is there anything out there that doesn't suck, and doesn't cost a bunch of money?
