What it does
Donetick is an open-source task and chore manager for individuals, families, and groups. It supports recurring and adaptive schedules, assignments, group sharing, task completion views, and self-hosted deployment.
Create shared tasks, assign responsibility, and schedule recurring chores daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or on custom intervals. Assignment rotation can distribute work among group members, and an API can trigger automated tasks. Donetick can be self-hosted; its AGPLv3 source is available on GitHub. See the official site, repository, and license.
