# OpenRepairPOS > OpenRepairPOS is free, open-source repair shop software: a repair shop POS (point of sale), repair ticketing system, inventory and invoicing app for cell phone, tablet and computer repair shops. Every feature is free, with unlimited users and no paid plans, add-ons or per-ticket fees. Each shop deploys its own private copy to its own free Cloudflare account with one click (about two minutes) and can run the shop from Claude or ChatGPT through a built-in MCP server with 25 tools. MIT licensed, independent, and it collects no data from shops. The app includes optional reorder links to one parts supplier (Parts4Cells).
