Yes!

My list of open source software lists LibreTrack as an open source delivery tracking app for Android and Linux.

No DHL support is unfortunate.

How do you expect to get tracking results if USPS isn't actually doing tracking?

If it's the app failing and not the API that it contacts, then a different app could work.

Depends. Does your universal package delivery provide an API?

One option is running changedetection.io on your server, it works for basically anything since it's actually loading a full web page and checking for changes.

Nice since it seems like everything these days requires apis and all kinds of BS to use in an app.
