Cita DEKRA is a Python desktop app that automatically books vehicle inspection appointments at DEKRA agencies in Costa Rica. Instead of repeatedly checking the website yourself, the app monitors appointment availability at the agencies you choose and reserves a slot the moment one opens up. The reason it runs as a local desktop app rather than a website is deliberate: web services on free hosting platforms cut off background processes after a few minutes of inactivity, which would interrupt the monitoring. Running on your own computer keeps the monitoring going continuously and for free, with no external accounts or server configuration needed. To get started, you fill in your personal details, name, email, phone number, and vehicle license plate, the first time you open the app. Then you pick one or more agencies, set a date range and how often you want it to check, optionally filter by preferred time of day, and press Start. The app handles the booking on its own when availability appears. When an appointment is found and booked, the app alerts you. On macOS it plays a sound and uses text to speech, on Windows it sends a system notification. The app is available as a downloadable executable for both macOS and Windows, so no programming knowledge is required to use it.
