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".

Our household revolves around the amazing Tasks.org Android app. Originally, I would sync the tasks using a Baïkal server because I prefer lightweight solutions. But since then, I've moved on to Nextcloud because I sometimes need a desktop overview of our tasks (and enjoy the other functionality). Nextcloud Tasks is very similar to Tasks.org, which I prefer over Vikunja etc.

Simple shared task lists have worked very well to keep track of chores, shopping and other reminders

For taking notes, keeping recipes etc. I use Joplin

I'm afraid of falling into the trap of having too many new toys to play with, so I'll keep simplicity and tasks.org in mind! For taking notes for myself, I have Obsidian set up the way I like it. I must say, I under utilize that one as well. Joplin, I used in university some years ago. I should maybe revisit it to see if I find any use for it.
