Tiddlywiki
The entire wiki - content, code, and interface - is built from "tiddlers," small addressable units of information that link, transclude, tag, and filter into each other: TiddlyWiki is a non-linear personal notebook with a design philosophy unlike anything else in this catalog. Instead of pages in a hierarchy, you compose views by pulling tiddlers together on demand, which is why researchers, zettelkasten practitioners, and GTD devotees have sworn by it for two decades. The whole application is JavaScript, and the UI itself is written in hackable WikiText - customization goes as deep as rewriting the interface from inside the wiki. Self-hosting runs the Node.js version, which upgrades the classic single-HTML-file architecture in the ways that matter for a server: every tiddler is stored as an individual text file (Git-friendly, organizable), edits save through the HTTP API from any modern browser including phones, and one installation can serve multiple wikis blending shared and unique content. The plugin ecosystem covers graph visualizations, themes, languages, and hundreds of community extensions, declared per-wiki in a simple tiddlywiki.info file; the newer MultiWikiServer plugin adds multi-user accounts and tiddler sharing. Your notes stay usable for decades, independent of any corporation - the project's founding promise. BSD-licensed.
PsiTransfer
Upload files, get a share link, let it expire: PsiTransfer is a self-hosted WeTransfer with no accounts, no logins, and no third-party cloud with size caps and metadata harvesting. The engineering focus is large files over imperfect networks. Uploads use the tus.io resumable protocol, so a dropped connection on a multi-gigabyte video resumes exactly where it stopped once you're back online; downloads support HTTP range headers for the same resilience, and everything streams, so file size is bounded by your disk rather than memory. Files organize into upload buckets with retention you control: expire after a set time (up to weeks) or after a one-time download, with automatic cleanup when links lapse. Recipients need nothing installed - they open the link, preview files in modal views, and grab everything as a zip or tar.gz archive with one click. Buckets can be password-protected (AES-encrypted download lists), and security-through-obscurity is done properly: bucket URLs use hashed UUID tokens and stored filenames are replaced with UUIDs. An optional admin page (enabled by setting an admin password) lists bucket information and storage. The Vue.js frontend ships under 100 KB gzipped and is fully responsive. Honest caveat from the author: no end-to-end payload encryption yet. BSD-licensed, Docker-ready.
TimeTagger
Freelancers, consultants, and solo workers get an accurate record of their hours from TimeTagger, a time tracker that logs tagged tasks on an interactive timeline and summarizes them as billable reports. Press S, type a description, and hit Enter to start the clock without the mouse, or drag across the timeline to log finished work. Hashtags in a description become autocompleting tags, with no projects to set up. Renaming a tag updates every record that uses it. Drag a record's edges to fix its times, then zoom the timeline out to a week or month with mouse, touch, or arrow keys. An overview panel totals time per tag combination for the selected range, and the Report button saves it as a client-ready PDF or a CSV with decimal hours. Daily, weekly, and monthly targets track progress toward your goals, and an optional Pomodoro timer alternates work and break periods with an alarm and a notification. Settings add a dark theme, local date notations, a Monday-to-Friday week, and a day offset for night shifts. The interface adapts from desktop to phone, installs as a progressive web app, works offline, and syncs records across devices once the connection returns. A web API and a command-line client let you query, create, and update records from scripts or the terminal. 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.
Faved
Large link collections stay fast and organized in Faved, a private, self-hosted bookmark manager built for exactly that job. Its core is a nested tagging system that outgrows flat folders: place Go and Python under Programming Languages, color-code tags, add descriptions, pin frequent ones to the top of the sidebar, and optionally roll up child-tag items into parent views. Saving is frictionless - a lightweight bookmarklet works in any desktop or mobile browser without extensions, and Apple devices can send links through the native Share menu. Faved fetches titles, descriptions, and preview images automatically, keeps that metadata fresh over time, and flags duplicates as you save. Instant as-you-type search, flexible sorting, and bulk actions (retag, delete, refetch) keep collections of any size manageable, while customizable layouts - card, list, or table - plus a system-synced dark mode adapt the interface to your workflow. Migration is first-class: import from Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge with folder structure preserved, or move from Pocket and Raindrop.io keeping tags and collections. The stack is deliberately light - PHP 8 with SQLite behind a React/Tailwind frontend - deploying via Docker with no external dependencies. All data stays local: no ads, no tracking, and no risk of your library vanishing with a discontinued service.
Atomic
Atomic transforms collections of personal Markdown notes into an AI-augmented knowledge graph by breaking documents down into semantically linked conceptual units. Users capture thoughts, research excerpts, and web clippings as modular notes that the system automatically chunks, embeds, and categorizes with hierarchical tags. An interactive force-directed canvas maps out the entire knowledge base, positioning related ideas closer together based on embedding cosine similarity rather than manual folder hierarchies. Built-in vector search queries across text embeddings directly within SQLite, retrieving precise contextual snippets in response to natural language prompts. The automated wiki engine synthesizes disparate notes into comprehensive reference articles equipped with verifiable inline citations back to original source materials. Integrated conversational agents leverage retrieved knowledge context to answer research questions, surface contradictions across past entries, and draft structured daily briefings. External AI tools can read, search, and update stored knowledge through an embedded Model Context Protocol server endpoint. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Shaarli
Personal, minimalist, database-free bookmarking - Shaarli is a philosophy as much as an app. Everything lives in a single compressed datastore file inside data/: no MySQL, no PostgreSQL, backup by copying one directory. That write-once/read-many file is usually served straight from OS disk caches, which is why a decade-old Shaarli instance with tens of thousands of links still responds instantly. Designed deliberately single-user, it saves URL, title, unlimited-length description, and tags (with autocomplete, renaming, and merging), marks entries public or private, and automatically strips utm_source and fb tracking parameters from saved URLs. That description field is why the community uses Shaarli as far more than bookmarks: a microblog, read-it-later queue, code-snippet base, pastebin, and shared clipboard between machines. Sharing is one click via bookmarklet or Android apps; consumption is per-tag RSS/Atom feeds plus a daily digest feed; search is full-text with tag filtering. A REST API opens it to any client, a plugin and theme system extends the PHP core (Markdown rendering, thumbnails), and import/export uses browser-standard Netscape HTML - your data enters and leaves freely. LDAP login is supported, no telemetry is sent anywhere, and the UI degrades gracefully without JavaScript. The anti-cloud Delicious.
BeaverHabits
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.
Tinykit
Describe the small app you keep wishing existed, and Tinykit builds it, gives it a database, and puts it live on your server. Tell it the tool you need and the agent writes the code, creates the data collections behind it, and wires the two together, then steps aside. The result is not a screenshot of an app; it is the app, served from your own server with its data syncing in real time and its files stored beside it. Open the built-in code editor to adjust the single file behind each app, or avoid code entirely: content fields let you edit text like a miniature CMS, and the design system panel restyles colors, fonts, and shadows visually. Every change takes a snapshot, so bold prompts carry an undo button and nothing is one bad idea away from lost. Hosts running errands for a household, an internal team, or a portfolio of side projects can keep adding apps, each reachable on its own domain, with token costs for every prompt shown in real money so the building budget is never a mystery. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Whirl
Whirl puts every top AI model in a single conversation and remembers what you were working on last week, so you can switch models mid-thought without losing the thread. Ask for a report, a chart, or a small interactive page and it appears as a living artifact in a side panel, still editable while you keep chatting, and shareable by link when it is ready to leave the conversation. Connect your own tools over MCP, with OAuth sign-in handled for you, or install skills that teach the app new tricks your team relies on. Long-term memory carries your preferences and project context from chat to chat, and live web search with page reading grounds answers in today's pages instead of the model's training data. Sensitive threads can be locked with a password that encrypts them on your device, where the server never sees the key and only zero-retention models may answer. Around those headline pieces sits the everyday kit: incognito mode, a message queue for when you think faster than the model replies, voice input, image generation, file attachments, folders, and sharing controls. An admin console manages the model catalog, integrations, and skills, and the interface itself switches between light and dark with your choice of accent color, installable as a mobile web app. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
DispatchMail
DispatchMail is an SuperHuman alternative and delivers a self-hosted AI email assistant that processes your Gmail inbox through configurable OpenAI prompts without sending data to third-party cloud services beyond the LLM API itself. The Flask backend connects to Gmail via IMAP, retrieves new messages according to your schedule, and routes them through customizable whitelist rules based on sender address, subject keywords, or natural language descriptions before AI processing begins. Two distinct prompt configurations control behavior — the Reading Prompt instructs how the AI should analyze and classify incoming messages, while the Draft Prompt defines how responses should be composed, letting you maintain consistent tone and policy across all automated replies. Whitelist filtering ensures the AI only processes messages you explicitly authorize, preventing unnecessary API costs and keeping sensitive emails out of the LLM pipeline entirely. The React web interface provides inbox management with message previews, AI-generated summaries, draft editing with human-in-the-loop approval before sending, and configuration panels for prompts and rules. Automatic labeling and archival organize processed messages into categories without manual intervention. The sender research feature uses LLM-powered deep analysis to build background profiles of email contacts. All email content, credentials, and processing results persist in a local SQLite database with zero cloud storage dependencies. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.
Wakapi
Its author, a student and WakaTime fan, didn't want to pay $9/month for data about his own keystrokes - so Wakapi was born, a self-hosted, WakaTime-compatible backend for coding statistics. The compatibility is the killer design decision: the official WakaTime plugins for VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Vim, and dozens of other editors work unmodified - just point the plugin's API URL at your Wakapi instance with your personal key, and heartbeats flow to your server instead of a third party's. Duration inference matches WakaTime's own algorithm, with a configurable timeout (10 minutes by default). From that stream Wakapi builds statistics and plots across projects, languages, editors, hosts, and operating systems, plus the fun extras: public leaderboards (optionally login-gated, with configurable aggregation windows), badges for GitHub readmes, and weekly email reports. A REST API serves your data programmatically, Prometheus export feeds your existing Grafana, and a WakaTime relay mode can mirror heartbeats to both services during migration - with one-click import of historical WakaTime data. Written in Go, it is lightning fast and light enough for the smallest instance, storing to SQLite, PostgreSQL, or MySQL, with configurable data retention for GDPR peace of mind. Deliberately smaller than WakaTime, deliberately yours.
MIND
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. 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.
Hasty Paste
Paste some text, hit save, share the link - Hasty Paste is a fast, minimal pastebin written in Python on the async Quart framework, named, by its author's own admission, "because you use it so fast without a care in the world." No accounts, no authentication, no friction - built for the everyday case of handing a debug log, config snippet, or stack trace to someone in tech support or a chat channel. Pastes get randomly generated IDs, with an optional "long" ID mode that makes brute-force URL guessing impractical, and expiry times ensure throwaway content actually gets thrown away. Optional Pygments syntax highlighting makes code readable, a dark theme spares your eyes, and the whole interface works without JavaScript - it renders in terminal browsers and under the strictest script blockers. Storage is a custom flat-file system (no database), caching runs internally or through Redis for busier instances, and a REST API plus the companion "Hastily Paste It" CLI script enable piping command output straight into a paste from the terminal. The Alpine-based Docker image is tiny, resource usage is minimal, and the license is AGPL.
Yaade
Yet Another API Development Environment delivers a self-hosted alternative to Postman designed from the ground up for teams that need secure, collaborative API development without sending sensitive credentials through third-party cloud services. The multi-user system manages team members with role-based permissions and supports external authentication through OAuth2 and OIDC providers, while all data persists in an H2 file-based database that survives container and server restarts. REST and WebSocket request testing includes environment variable substitution, request chaining, and Markdown documentation for each endpoint. The JavaScript scripting engine runs request and response scripts for automated testing and data extraction, with cron job scheduling and API-triggered execution for continuous integration workflows. Collections import directly from OpenAPI specifications and Postman exports, while outbound export generates request code in multiple languages and frameworks. The browser extension proxy for Chrome and Firefox routes requests through the user's browser to bypass CORS restrictions when testing localhost and internal APIs, with an alternative server-side proxy for headless environments. Single-file data import and export simplifies backup and migration between instances. The React and Vite frontend ships with dark mode enabled by default. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
OpenHabitTracker
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.
Whiteboard
The drawing surface inside WebRTC conference tools like Meetzi and the LAMS online-learning platform is Whiteboard (by cracker0dks) - a lightweight Node.js collaborative sketchboard built to be embedded and customized, which also slots into Nextcloud via the External Sites app. Everyone opening the same whiteboardid URL parameter draws on the same board, with remote user cursors visible live, per-user undo/redo, and an indicator showing the smallest participating screen so nobody draws outside a colleague's view. Content handling goes beyond pen strokes: drag-and-drop or paste images and PDFs from any PC or browser, then resize, rotate, and draw over them on canvas or background; add text and sticky notes; hold Shift for angle-snapped lines and perfect squares. Every function has a keybinding - deliberately friendly to pen displays like Wacom and XP-Pen whose hardware buttons map to shortcuts. Boards save to image or JSON (with reload), export directly to Nextcloud via WebDAV, and persist across restarts with the file-database option. A REST API with bundled interactive docs allows full programmatic control, an optional access token locks down uploads, and YAML configuration tunes behavior and performance. MIT-licensed and reverse-proxy friendly.
Wally
Started as an ExpenseOwl-inspired project, Wally grew into a lightweight, self-hosted expense tracker more capable in every direction its author touched. The backend is Python FastAPI over SQLite, which means every deployment ships a full REST API with interactive documentation at /api/docs - automating imports or wiring in external tools requires no reverse engineering, and when the optional login page is enabled you can mint scoped API keys from the Settings page for token-based integrations. The transactions view is built on AG Grid, bringing real search, column sorting, and per-column filtering to your ledger, with a footer totaling rows, income, and expenses for whatever slice you have filtered. Dashboards go beyond the usual monthly doughnut: a Change button swaps in year-scale line graphs so you can track a single category - restaurants, say - across time. Recurring transactions edit intelligently, letting you apply changes to all instances or only future ones. CSV import and export use a simple six-column format handled from Settings, the refined dark theme is genuinely easy on the eyes, and the interface is translated into more than ten languages. The whole thing runs from one small container with a single data volume.
DumbPad
With a deliberately minimalist design philosophy and zero database dependencies, DumbPad delivers a self-hosted notepad that stores notes as plain text files with real-time auto-saving every 10 seconds and keyboard-shortcut manual saves. The Node.js Express backend serves a vanilla JavaScript frontend that supports multiple named notepads with direct URL linking and shareable links for instant access to specific notes. The split-view editor displays markdown source on the left and rendered preview on the right with a draggable resize handle, while the full preview mode renders complete markdown with GitHub-style alert blocks for Note, Tip, Important, Warning, and Caution callouts, extended table formatting, fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting via highlight.js covering approximately 180 programming languages, collapsible details sections, and checklist support. Fuzzy search matches across both filenames and file contents for fast navigation across large collections. Optional PIN protection secures access with configurable 4 to 10 digit codes, constant-time comparison to prevent timing attacks, brute force lockout after 5 failed attempts with 15-minute cooldown, and IP-based tracking. The Docker container runs as non-root UID 1000 by default with multi-architecture support, CORS origin restrictions for reverse proxy deployments, and persistent data volumes. Notes can be downloaded as text or markdown files, printed with auto-expanded collapsible sections, and imported by placing text files directly into the data directory. On RepoCloud, deploy DumbPad on a dedicated VPS with Docker, root SSH access, and complete control over your note-taking infrastructure, all under the GPL-3.0 license.
