Thanks, I'll definitely check this one out. I love stupid simple!
Cron jobs lol
Genuinely had crossed my mind but I'm interesting in something a little bit more sophisticated, with a GUI, and something my partner would be comfortable interacting with as well. Maybe even something I can easily access on my phone.
Have you looked into Lunatask?
I have not.
Probably not exactly what you are looking for (and not maintained anymore) but this app allows you to set up your subscriptions (like phone plan, internet, streaming services, etc.) and it reminds you once the subscription is about to be renewed. You could set different time intervals for your different tasks.
I'll consider if if I don't find something better, thanks!
Baikal (CalDAV server), DAVx5 for sync, Tasks.org for Android UI, Thunderbird on PC.
Recently, I noticed there is also Thunderbird for Android which is actually based on the solid K-9 Mail app.
I have basically the same setup, but with Radicale.
Radicale is really lightweight, but quite basic - which is fine for my needs.
Out of curiosity, what pulled you to use Baikal?
Nothing special. Radicale is fine, too. As far as I see it also supports sharing of CardDAV among multiple users which Baikal does not.
One thing I needed after I migrated away from Nextcloud is the birthday calendar. There is a script for that on Baikal.
Self hosting a calendar isn't too difficult. I use NextCloud personally, but as the saying goes "it's overkill for your specific requirements". Nothing wrong with overkill, though.
Another option might be LubeLogger. It's designed to track car maintenance, but you can set up time based reminders. For example you can create a "vehicle" called Dishwasher and set a once a month reminder. The problem is notifications... LubeLogger only does email if you set it up. I hacked together Ntfy notifications but that was one of the more difficult things I've ever figured out. It's possible, though.
I use nextcloud with a task app like jtx board. it's basic and does exactly what you want
I'll look into this, thanks for the suggestion!
Just rambling - don’t have a direct answer or workflow to offer.
Set up n8n and an MCP server to schedule things - and then have it manage opening issues. (Probably via an API hook.)
For issue tracking I just stumbled across the following https://vikunja.io/features/ but don’t have any direct experience with it.
n8n could also just be a cron script.
systemd timer?
Ive also been looking for this for some time now but not found anything specific that fits my needs exactly. However i did find a very nice app called Planify for desktop/pc use. Has integrations to Nextcloud and Todoist.
