The first is Part-DB-server (https://github.com/Part-DB/Part-DB-server). It was originally meant for managing inventories of parts but I've found that it's also good for managing my inventory of retrotech. All of the item features you mentioned are either first-class fields on whatever you add to the database or can be added to an entry's Parameters tab; I already do this for board revision, current firmware version, and what I bought them for (X units of foo for project Alpha, Y units of foo for project Beta, Z units of foo as spares in case I screw up). The other application, which I haven't had a chance to test yet but am checking out for inventorying other stuff in the house is Homebox (https://github.com/hay-kot/homebox), which is basically a home inventory application. In terms of complexity it's a single executable (written in Go, which means it's cross-compilable if you don't feel like downloading the latest pre-built release from Github) and uses a built-in SQLite database.
