Selfhosted

I use a DAV integration to show a bunch of shared calendars and task lists (nextcloud, but I guess you can find a Google alternative if needed)

Events: stuff like doctors appointments, bdays, etc.

Maintenance: stuff to do/fix. Some are recurring events (like cleaning faucet aerators, aircon filters, etc)

Shopping: separate from HAs shopping list, this one is for stuff that might be handy to get, but not a priority (not groceries, but stuff like idk a new potato peeler)

On my main dashboard I have atomic calendar revive card from HACS with "upcoming events" as the default view

I want this for cleaning my house. When did I last clean my dish washer, the lamps etc. It's on my TODO to create when I have time.

Like, a calendar app?

I use chore-helper for Home Assistant for that. I chose it because I like the "after x days" vs. the classic "every x days" approach. If I forgot to clean the shower for over a week there is no point to have a reminder the next day after I finally did it, but I want it to happen x days later no matter how long I dragged the previous task.

It hasn't received updates in ages though and can be quite slow and complicated to manage. I want to have a look in ChoreOps to replace it.

I use Vikunja for that. Recurring reminders, CalDAV, email reminders if missed, and more

I probably wouldn't use something specialized to home maintenance. Just any todo/task management system that lets you have a recurring task to tick off. There are tons of those out there.

Personally, I use repeated tasks in org-agenda in emacs for most of this, but I wouldn't recommend picking up emacs simply to use org-agenda. But if you are an emacs user, then it might be a good option.

I haven't used Taskwarrior myself, but I've seen a few people recommend it for Linux use, and if I weren't using an emacs-oriented system, I'd probably look into it. It supports recurring tasks.

I use taskwarrior for this. For example:

task add recur:monthly due:eom wait:due-3weeks clean mesh filter
task add recur:quarterly due:eoq wait:due-3weeks replace charcoal filter

There are quite a few web frontends to it too, although I haven't tried these out so not sure which to recommend.

You could uh.. Hang a calendar on your fridge?

A ton of smart buttons. Every time you do the task you push the button and a time helper is updated to the next date. If today is beyond that date, update a second boolean helper to show the task must be again!

Bonus if you set a light or alarm to go off of you forget to do it or a reward dispenser to drop treats when you complete the task!

Vikunja will cover all the bases you’re looking for I think! I’ve really been enjoying it

Could use something as simple as a cronjob or gitea runners. Loki/Grafana can read logs and trigger webhooks, send emails, etc.

I have a router with a few cronjobs like this:

# m h dom mon dow command  
00 20 12 * * echo "check bank transactions (monthly reminder)"  
00 19 15-21 * * test $(date +\%u) -eq 6 && echo "Anki learning reminder"  

Cron will by default send an email with the script output. So you "just" need a non-broken email setup that forwards system emails to your main account. (Assuming you don't self-host email too.)

This setup is useful because I have a few other cronjobs (backup scripts, and a health check for my own application) that should notify me in case of failure, and I would eventually notice that this is broken by noticing that those "calendar" emails no longer get through.

Many selfhosted project planning tools have those features. Personally I have set up Vikunja.

Have you seen grocy, that I think has something similar?

I was thinking about making something like this actually.

I'm just getting into self hosting some things so I'll see what I can come up with in the next few months.

Were you thinking like a web app that is basically a reoccurring to-do list, but it's more maintenance focused?

I built a similar app for Android, but it's limitedvright now, mostly a to-do list with a due date, no reoccurring, and no notifications.

Donetick is what I use for this kind of stuff. Still needs a bit of work on the OIDC systems, though

If the tasks are associated with assets (e.g. change the smoke alarm battery) then DumbAssets sounds like what you'd want.

This would actually be an awesome feature request for homebox.

CalDAV?

I use grocy for this. It has task tracking and along with other home management stuff its a good solution.
