Household management - what are you using if anything? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello there!

I was wondering what people on here use for general household related peojects and general recurring task management.

I feel like it would be easier to get stuff done if my wife and I could have a place to store and real time add/update information on things. Notes on the fridge don't cut it anymore, as life gets complex.

I was looking into NextCloud AIO. I don't care much for the mail, file sync or call and chat features. But a shared calendar and the Deck app with tasks sound useful. Along with the cookbook app that exists.

I was also checking out independent-ish solutions like Vikunja and Kitchen owl. I was also looking for a MS whiteboard-like thing to use, and Excalidraw came up. It is possible to tie all these together with a dashboard, so it doesn't feel like it's all over the place I am sure. But the wife approval factor is also something I have to keep in mind. Also, mobile apps are hit and miss in my opinion.

If you have extendes experiences with the above tools or alternatives that you use, please share how you like it! I could use some perspective before I deploy stuff to "prd".

Self hosted version of https://homechart.app/

Not FOSS (source available I believe though) but it has the option of a lifetime license rather than a subscription. Dev is readily available and helpful too.

Thanks for the tip! I wouldn't have stumbled upon it by myself. Looking through their demo, it's rather complex, maybe too much for what I need. The price seems fair tho. With the source being available I'll consider trying it.

One neat aspect is under the admin options you can hide whole sections of the menu to not show what you don't need. Makes things a lot less cluttered that way.
