Now on iPhone, Mac, the web, and in Claude and ChatGPT. Track unlimited packages across 1,000+ carriers, free for personal use. Connect Amazon once and your orders show up on their own, with everything that ships in one box shown as one package. And when the wait gets long, ShipShow can roast your 2 a.m. impulse buys. Only if you let it. Most tracking apps cap how many packages you can follow and lock notifications behind a subscription. ShipShow doesn't. Add as many shipments as you want, track them across 1,000+ carriers worldwide, and get an alert the moment something moves. That part costs nothing. FREE, ACTUALLY FREE - Unlimited packages for personal use across 1,000+ carriers: local, regional, international, freight. - Real-time alerts when a package ships, moves, stalls, or lands on your doorstep. - Folders for orders, gifts, returns, and "why did I buy this." - Attach a photo to any package so you remember what's actually coming. - Add tracking numbers by typing, pasting from the clipboard, or scanning the label with your camera.
