TrackIt is an open-source shipment tracking dashboard that aggregates package statuses from multiple US couriers into a single web interface.
What is TrackIt?
TrackIt is a web-based application that simplifies shipment tracking by bringing UPS, USPS, FedEx, and OnTrac package data into one unified platform. Users input or manage tracking numbers and see current status, location, and date details in a centralized dashboard. The project runs on a Node.js v18+ and npm v7+ development environment, with a live production site at shipmentracker.com. It is built on the Next.js framework with Tailwind CSS styling, based on the repository's tags and metadata.
