No targets, no gamification spiral, no motivational nagging: Beaver Habit Tracker is a self-hosted habit tracker deliberately built without "Goals". The core loop is honest: add habits, check them off each day, watch streaks accumulate on a calendar view. Its design follows behavioral-science basics - make it obvious (visual streak cues), make it attractive (progress is the motivator), make it satisfying (tracking becomes its own reward). Beyond the daily checklist it supports per-day notes intelligently grouped per habit, periodic habits, habit categories and tags, drag-to-reorder (manual or automatic), dark mode, and detailed streak and frequency views. Data lives where you choose: a single SQLite database or flat JSON files on a mounted volume, with JSON export and import for full portability. A REST API opens automation - community integrations already cover Stream Deck buttons, Home Assistant triggers, and CalDAV. The Python app ships as one Docker container with no external dependencies; environment variables tune everything from first day of week and index-page columns to iOS standalone PWA mode, and single-user setups can bypass the login entirely with TRUSTED_LOCAL_EMAIL. BSD-3-Clause licensed with no commercial restrictions - a well-executed single-purpose tool whose mobile PWA works anywhere a browser does.

Notes, tasks, and habits in one app, synced only to a server you run yourself. Notes are written in Markdown and render right in the list, so reading one costs no clicks. Tasks get a planned date and time, a duration, a checklist, and a timer. Weekly statistics show what got done and how long it took. Habits are measured by how overdue they are, not by an unbroken streak. A habit on a ten day interval that is two days late reads 120 percent. Charts track progress toward the target for today, this week, this month, this quarter, and this year. They also list the ten longest streaks and what you finish on each weekday. Categories and priorities span all three item types. Search reads note text and checklist items, not only titles. Filter by date, status, or how overdue a habit is, then sort with eleven keys. Pick from 26 themes in dark and light mode and 20 languages, with full keyboard and screen reader support. Import and export JSON, YAML, TSV, or Markdown, or bring in a Google Keep Takeout ZIP. Native apps for Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android sync with your server. The single-user Docker server also serves an OpenAPI spec, a Scalar UI, and a log page behind the same login. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.

Edi Life OS puts the habits, goals, projects, money, focus sessions, and notes that usually live in five separate apps into one calm dashboard on your own server. Start the day from an Overview that rolls focus, habit trends, goals, finances, and the week ahead into one readable score. Connect long-term goals to six life areas, drive progress from a checklist, a measure, or a habit you actually keep, and use weekly, monthly, or quarterly reviews to choose the next honest step. Log daily habits with streaks and monthly progress, run timed focus sessions with short and long breaks, and keep a history of the deep work you finished. Track expenses, income, budgets, debts, and credits in your chosen currency, including recurring entries that land straight in the ledger. Plan projects on draggable Kanban boards with labels, priorities, due dates, checklists, comments, and attachments, then see card deadlines and money dues together in one calendar. Capture Markdown notes with preview and export, pin sticky notes with colors and connections, and give each account its own private workspace, theme, and currency. Ask an AI assistant through the optional MCP server to read your dashboard, create goals, log habits, or record expenses through a token-protected API that never touches the database directly. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Tududi is a self-hosted planner that turns a pile of tasks into a plan for the day, keeping projects, notes, goals, and habits on a server you control. One Add box files an Inbox item, Task, Note, or Project and understands natural-language dates, recurrence, tags, projects, and people, so "every first monday #home" becomes a recurring task without opening a form. The Today page switches between planning mode, with a timeline or list beside your calendar and optional AI help to sketch the day, and doing mode, with a Next card and a hint when a free slot fits a small task. Tasks have subtasks and live in projects and areas, projects link to season or year goals, and saved views, project templates, and optional Eisenhower and Kanban boards organize the work. Habits support build or quit goals with streaks, a strength score, and a history grid, while notes offer linked pages, backlinks, and mermaid diagrams. Households and teams share projects with read-only or read-write access, assign tasks to people, and follow an Everyone board; members without email sign in through one-time links. Telegram captures tasks and can send daily summaries, CalDAV syncs with reminder apps, OIDC handles single sign-on, and an MCP server lets Claude or Cursor manage tasks. AI stays off until you enable it and add a provider; local models work too. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Pomodoist pairs a task manager with a Pomodoro timer, so the list of what to do and the clock that gets it done live in the same app. Type a task the way you would say it and the quick-add bar sets its priority and estimates its Pomodoros as you type, filing it into the Inbox, Today, or Upcoming views. Plan the week on a calendar, drag cards across a kanban board, spread work along a timeline, or sort it into a four-quadrant priority matrix when everything feels urgent. Start a focus session and the timer tracks intervals against the task at hand, with configurable work and break lengths, while a 3D desktop companion focuses, rests, and celebrates along with you. Share a project and the discussion stays beside the tasks, with comments on shared items and the team's focus time visible next to the work itself. Reports chart weekly focus time, completed tasks, and habit streaks, and voice notes can become task checklists when typing is not an option. An MCP endpoint lets your AI tools manage the same projects after an OAuth sign-in, and optional Google Calendar and Telegram integrations meet the planner where you already are. The self-hosted instance unlocks every feature locally, with your own accounts and one-command backups of the whole database. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Instead of locking your daily schedule inside proprietary cloud calendars, dayGLANCE offers a privacy-first visual time-blocking planner that syncs directly with your own WebDAV server, Nextcloud instance, or Obsidian vault. Drag tasks from a prioritized Smart Inbox onto an interactive 24-hour timeline, resize blocks as priorities shift, and carve out recurring energy-tagged Frames for deep work or administrative batches. The live Glance panel highlights your current commitment, remaining free time, and daily routines, then transitions into GLANCEahead each evening to preview tomorrow's start time, deadlines, and total committed hours. Switch between multi-day, single-day, weekly, and monthly layouts, or launch the fullscreen Day Dial to view your schedule, solar daylight arc, and watch-style progress complications on a secondary wall display. Long-term work stays organized inside a Goals and Projects hierarchy with duration-weighted progress bars, visual roadmaps, and dedicated hyperGLANCE focus workspaces that pair a Pomodoro timer with project notes and subtasks. Bidirectional Obsidian synchronization reads and writes markdown daily notes and wikilinked tasks directly, while optional bring-your-own-key AI assistants and encrypted backups keep your productivity workflow completely under your control. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Super Productivity eliminates the context switching between issue trackers, calendars, and timer apps that fragments developer focus, pulling tasks from Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, OpenProject, Linear, ClickUp, Trello, and Azure DevOps into one local-first interface. With 21,000+ stars and availability across web, desktop, Android, and iOS, it syncs issue status, subtasks, and time logs bidirectionally so sprint planning and worklog submission happen without leaving the app. CalDAV integration pulls calendar events into your task timeline for visual timeboxing. Built-in Pomodoro and Flowmodoro timers enforce focused intervals with configurable break schedules. Data stays under your control in browser IndexedDB by default, with optional AES-encrypted sync via WebDAV, Nextcloud, Dropbox, or the SuperSync server ensuring no task data touches infrastructure you do not own. The extensible plugin system supports JavaScript-based custom panels, automations, and MCP plugins for AI workflows. A REST API on port 3876 enables external script integration for desktop automation. Time tracking generates exportable timesheets compatible with corporate reporting systems. The Docker container serves the Angular PWA through Nginx on port 80, consuming roughly 50 MB of RAM. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Recurring household chores and shared team checklists stay on schedule when Donetick coordinates assignments, reminders, and completion tracking from one self-hosted hub. Type a phrase like "change water filter every 6 months" and the natural-language parser extracts the due date and cadence automatically. Adaptive scheduling even adjusts future intervals from your actual completion history. Rotation rules distribute tasks fairly across family members or roommates via round-robin, random, or least-completed logic. Nested subtasks reset themselves each cycle. Finished chores earn points in the built-in gamification engine that members redeem in an admin-approved reward store. Stateful "Things" track numerical, boolean, or text metrics to trigger tasks automatically when values change. Tap physical NFC tags to check off chores on the spot, or mount a dedicated kiosk dashboard on a wall tablet for one-tap account switching. Real-time updates sync across devices alongside iCal calendar feeds, Home Assistant cards, OIDC single sign-on, and Pushover or Telegram notifications.

Unlike a calendar alert that rings on one phone, a MIND reminder reaches any of 100+ services, including email, Pushbullet, BlueSky, Cisco Webex Teams, and SMS gateways, from a self-hosted reminder app that you control. Normal reminders fire with second precision once or repeat every few days, once a year, on chosen weekdays, or on a custom cron schedule, while static reminders wait for a button press, so a single tap can tell the family that you are running late. Templates store colour, title, services, and text for fast creation, and the colour-coded library can be searched and sorted, with each reminder enabled, disabled, or tested on demand. Time zone changes, including daylight saving shifts, are accounted for, and sends that fail on a connection error are retried every two minutes until they succeed. Several users can share one instance: the admin panel handles accounts and registration, login lifetime, reverse-proxy URL prefix, debug logs, and scheduled database backups that can be exported and imported, and sign-in supports two-factor authentication. A documented REST API covers reminders, templates, notification services, and static triggers, and the web interface adapts to phone screens.

A Day One alternative that keeps your most personal writing on your own server: Journiv is journaling purpose-built for self-hosters. The FastAPI backend runs on SQLite by default with optional PostgreSQL, Redis, and Celery for background work, behind a clean, minimal web UI. Unlike general note-taking apps, it ships the features journaling actually needs: customizable moods and mood groups, activity tracking, goals with automated progress from logged activities, and daily writing prompts filterable by category and difficulty so a blank page never stalls you. Quick Log captures a moment in seconds and expands into a full entry later; "On This Day" resurfaces entries from past weeks, months, and years. Multiple journals separate work, gratitude, and personal writing, with tags and full-text search across everything, plus media uploads with automatic thumbnails and an Immich integration for linking photo-library memories. Analytics chart mood trends and writing patterns over time. Data portability is taken seriously: native import of Day One exports, JSON/Markdown/HTML export, and a standalone HTML viewer that opens your archive in any browser with no server running. OIDC single sign-on works with Authentik or Keycloak, and multi-arch images cover amd64 and arm64.

LiftTrace is a self-hosted weightlifting tracker that keeps your entire training history, programs, personal records, and progress photos on your own server in a single Docker container. Log every set with weight, reps, RPE, warm-up markers, and supersets, or type a line like bench 3x5 at 225 and let the Smart Log parser turn plain text or a voice note into structured sets. Follow multi-week programs where each week prescribes its own sets, reps, tempo, rest, and load, and watch the diary prefill today's session from the active template. Browse an exercise library merged from wger, Free Exercise DB, and ExerciseDB, add custom movements, or bulk import your own catalog from a spreadsheet. Automatic PR detection, estimated one-rep maxes, volume and frequency charts, and dated progress photos with a drag-to-compare view show how training is trending. The built-in Trace AI coach reads your workouts, programs, records, and body stats to answer questions, log sessions, and adjust plans through Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, or a local Ollama model. Coaches can prescribe workouts, leave notes on individual sets, and review filmed set videos with comments stamped at the moment that matters, all with explicit consent from the athlete. Import years of history from Strong, Hevy, FitNotes, Jefit, or Garmin FIT files, keep logging offline in the gym, and sign in with OIDC through Authentik, Keycloak, or Authelia. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Strength training, cardio, and body metrics land in one workout log on your own server, backed by an optional AI coach that explains its advice from your real numbers. Quick entry such as 100x8@9 logs weight, reps, and effort in one line, with a rest timer, plate-loading calculator, and warm-up ramp beside the set table. A weight picker offers only loads your equipment can build, and a readiness check-in adjusts the suggested load and says why. Templates for 5/3/1 BBB, GZCLP, nSuns, PPL, and Upper/Lower run as written and edit like any custom program. Progress pages chart estimated 1RM, weekly volume per muscle group against MEV and MRV bands, a muscle heat map, bodyweight goals, and a training calendar. Garmin FIT, TCX, and GPX imports need no cloud account and add heart-rate charts and aerobic decoupling to each run or ride. The coach writes a weekly debrief, chats in a streaming conversation, and drafts a full program from a one-sentence goal, using your own Anthropic or OpenRouter key. History imports from Strong or Hevy CSV files with a dry-run preview and exports to CSV or TCX, and an MCP connector lets ChatGPT or other agents analyse it. The app installs as an offline-capable PWA, speaks English, French, Russian, and German, and keeps every user's data separate.

Lyftr delivers a self-hosted workout and nutrition tracker that runs on a small VPS — no subscriptions, no vendor lock-in, no "export is a Pro feature" paywalls. The Go backend with Gin framework provides JWT authentication and a REST API while storing everything in a single SQLite database file you can back up with one copy command. The exercise library ships with 800+ movements auto-seeded on first run, letting you build reusable workout programs with target sets, reps, and weights from day one. Active workout mode provides a guided set-by-set flow through your session while Gym Mode offers a full-screen card layout showing one exercise at a time with an integrated rest timer for focused training. The React frontend built with TypeScript and Tailwind delivers a mobile-first interface featuring a dashboard with weekly session KPIs, daily calorie and protein tracking, 12-week consistency heatmap, volume trend charts, and muscle balance visualization with sparklines. Nutrition tracking connects to Open Food Facts for food search with camera-based barcode scanning, logging calories and macros across customizable meal sections. Bodyweight logging with trend graphs supports both lbs and kg units across all data. An Android APK connects to your self-hosted instance for native mobile access.
