Manage the household's chores, shopping list and project plans in one self-hosted task manager, with the same tasks shown as a list, kanban board, table or Gantt chart. Repeat reminders, subtasks, share links and CalDAV sync sit on top. Vikunja imports what you already have in Todoist, Trello or Microsoft To-Do.

Official client for phone and desktop.
Run the vikunja/vikunja container with a volume for its files and one for the database, and set VIKUNJA_SERVICE_PUBLICURL to the address you reach it on. That single container uses SQLite; add a Postgres container once more than a handful of people use it.
Yes, through CalDAV, which Vikunja still labels early alpha. Apple Reminders, Tasks.org with DAVx5, Evolution and KOrganizer are on its tested list, so add the /dav/principals/<username>/ URL and a CalDAV token in the client.
Yes. Vikunja imports from Todoist, Trello and Microsoft To-Do, so existing projects arrive with their tasks and can be reorganised afterwards.

Write docs, track work in databases and sketch on a whiteboard, with workspaces synced through your own server.
Baserow turns Postgres into a no-code database you edit in the browser, with typed fields, filters and forms. Every table gets a REST API.
CryptPad is an encrypted office suite you host yourself. Write a document, sheet or slide deck in the browser and it encrypts the copy on your machine before it reaches the server. Rich text, forms, kanban boards, diagrams and whiteboards use the same encryption. Shared drives, access lists, document history and guest links cover a household or a small group.
Sketch hand-drawn style diagrams on a virtual whiteboard, served as a static site from your own server.
Gofer puts Gmail, Outlook, iCloud and IMAP mail in one self-hosted webmail, with contacts and calendars alongside. You spin it up as a single Go binary or container.
Keep budgets, inventories and project lists in documents where a cell can reference a row from another table and formulas run in Python. Each document is stored as a file in a folder you choose, so it moves or backs up like any other file.
Write markdown together in a browser-based editor and watch the edits land as they are typed. HedgeDoc keeps the notes on your server, renders diagrams and slides from the same text, and gives each note a permission level you pick before you share the link.
Run kanban boards on your own server in the Trello style, with workspace members, labels, comments and an activity log on every card. Kan takes an existing Trello board as an import, and the self-hosted stack is the web app, Postgres and a one-off migration container.
