Overview

Donetick is an open source, self hosted app for managing tasks and chores, on your own or shared across a household or team. It organises work into circles (groups) whose members share task lists, supports flexible recurring schedules, assignments and rotation between members, optional points to gamify who does what, and clear views of what is due. A single self contained server bundles the web interface and stores everything in an embedded database, so it runs as one lightweight appliance with nothing else to deploy.

It suits households, families and small teams who want a private, self hosted alternative to hosted chore and to do apps, running inside their own cloud account.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships Donetick secure by default with no baked secret: a fresh session signing secret is generated on the first boot of every instance and never ships in the image, so no two deployments can forge each other's logins. A single administrator is seeded on first boot with a unique per instance password written to a root only file, no default login survives into the image, and open self registration is closed by default so only that administrator exists until you choose to invite members. The server and its embedded database are bound to loopback behind a reverse proxy, the appliance is verified end to end during build by creating a real task and marking it done, and the fully patched base keeps unattended security upgrades enabled. Every deployment is paired with a step by step deploy guide and backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.

Common uses

  • Shared household and family chore management
  • Recurring tasks with assignments and rotation
