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.

Staying on top of hundreds of RSS feeds is impossible when every reader just dumps articles in chronological order. RSSMonster takes a different approach: it evaluates, scores, and prioritizes every article so the signal rises above the noise. The three-pane reading interface automatically marks articles as read when you scroll past them, while the built-in quality scoring engine rates content by freshness, originality, trust, and attention metrics. Compose advanced search expressions using field operators like star:true, quality:>0.6, hot:true, and date filters like @today or @lastweek, then save those expressions as persistent Smart Folders for one-click access to curated views. Semantic event clustering groups related articles across sources so you see one coherent story instead of fifteen duplicates. Connect your favorite mobile client through the Fever API (supporting Reeder for iOS) or the Google Reader API (compatible with News+, FeedMe, Vienna RSS, and ReadKit). The AI chat assistant powered by the Model Context Protocol lets you ask questions about your feed content and get summarized answers. Import your existing subscriptions via OPML, switch between light and dark themes, and install the app as a Progressive Web App for offline reading. On RepoCloud, deploy RSSMonster on a dedicated VPS with root SSH access, full data ownership, and persistent storage under the MIT license.

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.

What Trello fans wanted Trello to stay: Kan (kan.bn) is a minimalist, frills-free kanban board capturing the original vision before the enterprise pivots - and then adds the things 2025 actually demands. The core is exactly right: drag-and-drop cards across lists, labels and filters to find work fast, comments for discussion on cards, checklists, a detailed activity log tracking every change, and reusable board templates. Workspaces gather your team with member invites and role management, and board visibility controls decide who can view or edit each board. Migration is first-class: a built-in Trello importer brings existing boards over, so switching costs an afternoon, not a quarter. The standout differentiator is the bundled Model Context Protocol server exposing 46 tools across workspaces, boards, lists, cards, comments, checklists, labels, and members - meaning Claude Desktop, Cursor, Copilot, or any MCP client can read and manage your boards in natural language: "move everything assigned to me into Done" becomes a sentence, not a click marathon. The stack is modern TypeScript - Next.js, tRPC, Drizzle ORM over PostgreSQL, Better Auth (credentials or OAuth), Tailwind - with optional SMTP email and S3 file storage. Unlimited boards, lists, and cards; AGPL-licensed.

Backed by $50M+ from Benchmark, Y Combinator, and NVIDIA with 800+ contributors and 39,000+ GitHub stars, MindsHub Cowork is the unified AI workspace where open-source models handle entire projects — research, reporting, internal tools, scheduled operations — and return finished, shareable deliverables. The platform runs two interchangeable open-source agent harnesses, Anton and Hermes, swappable from a dropdown without losing context. A built-in Model Router pre-wires 25+ models spanning Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, Grok, and MindsHub Air with automatic failover — no per-provider API keys required. A secure credentials vault connects BigQuery, PostgreSQL, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, Gong, Gmail, Google Drive, Notion, Linear, Stripe, and Slack, keeping secrets scoped per connection so agents never see raw keys. Agent output becomes publishable artifacts — documents, dashboards, apps, and code — each deployable to a live shareable URL. Cross-session persistent memory, a reusable skill library, and a background scheduler supporting hourly, daily, and weekly cadences enable autonomous recurring workflows. The architecture separates a React/Vite frontend (shipping as both Electron desktop app and web SPA) from a FastAPI backend with a versioned REST API at /api/v1 covering conversations, projects, artifacts, schedules, and connectors. Self-host via Docker Compose with nginx on port 3000 and the API on port 26866, or deploy on-prem, in a VPC, or air-gapped. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Why should your chat history live on someone else's servers? Chatpad AI - a React/TypeScript front end for the OpenAI API, built on the Mantine component library - is designed around that question. Enter your own OpenAI API key and start chatting with GPT models; every conversation, prompt, and setting is stored locally in your browser via DexieJS over IndexedDB, with no tracking, no cookies, and no backend database at all. That architecture is the point - the Docker image is just Nginx serving static files, making it one of the lightest AI deployments in the catalog, and pay-per-token API pricing typically undercuts a ChatGPT Plus subscription for moderate use. The interface earns its "premium quality" tagline with the details: a persona selector that switches communication styles per conversation, a saved-prompts library for messages you reuse constantly, organized chat history, and full data export/import so conversations move between browsers or into backups as files you control. A JSON config file customizes defaults - models, API endpoints, UI options - without rebuilding the image. AGPL-licensed, with desktop builds available upstream. For teams that want ChatGPT's utility with a self-hosted, zero-telemetry footprint, Chatpad is the minimal, sane answer.

"As simple as Trello but as feature-rich as Jira" is how the Leantime team frames its goals-focused project management system for non-project managers - built from the ground up with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia in mind, with behavioral science shaping customizable dashboards, time blocking, low-cognitive-load prioritization, and Kanban, list, table, Gantt, and calendar views so each person works the way their brain does. The PHP application (AGPL, Laravel Blade frontend) connects strategy to execution: tasks with unlimited subtasks and dependencies roll up into milestones on a timeline, sprints and retrospectives handle iteration, and strategy-level blueprint boards - Lean Canvas, SWOT, risk analysis, goal and metric tracking - keep the "why" attached to the work. Knowledge lives alongside: wikis and docs, idea boards, comments on everything, file storage on S3 or local disk, even screen and webcam recording. Time tracking with timesheets supports estimation and client billing. Admin features are serious for an OSS tool: per-project permissions, two-factor auth, LDAP and OIDC single sign-on, Slack, Mattermost, and Discord integrations, a plugin system, and an expanding API that now powers a mobile app. Recent releases added multi-collaborator task assignment and low-vision accessibility improvements. Available in 20+ languages.

Calendars, to-do lists, journal entries, and contacts, synced over the open CalDAV and CardDAV standards nearly every client already speaks: Radicale is a small pure-Python server that works with Thunderbird, DAVx5 on Android, Apple Calendar and Contacts, GNOME, and many more. Its defining design choice is radical simplicity: there is no database. Events live as plain .ics files and contacts as .vcf files in an ordinary folder structure, which makes backup a copy command, migration a move, and disaster recovery a matter of reading text files. The server works out of the box with no complicated setup, then grows as needed: flexible authentication (htpasswd files among other methods), per-collection authorization rules, TLS-secured connections, and a plugin system for extending storage, auth, and rights handling. Built-in limits on parallel connections, file sizes, and failed authentication attempts harden it for network exposure behind a reverse proxy. A bundled web interface handles creating and managing calendars and address books - useful since many clients cannot create collections themselves. Maintained since 2011 with 140+ contributors, GPLv3-licensed, and light enough to run on the smallest VPS or a Raspberry Pi.

Every unit of income gets a job in Actual Budget - a local-first personal finance app built on envelope (zero-sum) budgeting, where you can only budget cash you actually have, which keeps the plan honest by construction. The data model is a SQLite file that lives on your device and works fully offline; the self-hosted Node.js sync server adds background multi-device synchronization using CRDT-based distributed-systems machinery, browser and mobile access as an installable web app, and automated backups. Optional end-to-end encryption makes the synced data unreadable even to the server hosting it. Transactions enter three ways: manual entry, file import (CSV, QIF, OFX, QFX, CAMT.053), or automatic bank syncing through GoCardless for EU/UK banks and SimpleFIN for US/Canada. Built-in YNAB4 and nYNAB importers migrate complete budget histories, and reports, schedules for recurring transactions, and rule-based transaction cleanup handle the day-to-day. A fully featured local API lets developers script custom importers and automation against their own data. 100% free, open source, and 26k stars strong.

Manage My Damn Life is a personal productivity platform and CalDAV task manager that gives individuals and teams a full-featured web workspace for coordinating todos, calendar agendas, and project schedules without relying on proprietary productivity software. Users can connect multiple CalDAV server backends including Nextcloud, Radicale, and Baikal to synchronize tasks, events, and subtasks across their self-hosted infrastructure. The interface offers multiple interactive perspectives, letting planners switch between nested task checklists, full monthly calendar grids, and dynamic Gantt chart roadmaps with customizable timeline scales. Keyboard-driven operators can rapidly log action items via intuitive Quick Add syntax that parses due dates, priority tiers, and category labels from inline text triggers. A versatile filter manager allows users to save custom query views matching due dates, completion statuses, parent task hierarchies, and color-coded labels. Team members can establish reusable task templates for recurring administrative workflows, assign multi-level checklist items, and manage individual calendar visibility across shared workspaces. System administrators can configure user authentication through native accounts or integrate enterprise Single Sign-On using OpenID Connect providers like Keycloak, Authentik, and Google. Client-side state caching accelerates navigation while background sync preserves CalDAV compliance. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL v3 licensed.

Every service you run, behind one polished start page: Dashy is the most customizable homelab dashboard, built as a Vue.js homepage. Configuration lives in a single YAML file, but you never have to hand-edit it: an integrated UI editor with real-time validation writes changes back to disk, so both config-as-code and point-and-click camps are served. Status indicators put a live health dot next to every app - HTTP checks or pings on custom intervals, with response time and status details on hover - giving you an at-a-glance uptime overview before anything breaks. Over 50 built-in widgets pull dynamic content from the services you already run: Pi-hole and AdGuard block stats, Proxmox lists, Nextcloud status, Netdata CPU/memory history, Prometheus data, plus weather, RSS, crypto prices, and generic iframe/API-response widgets for anything with an endpoint. Instant fuzzy search launches any app as you type, with customizable hotkeys and web-search fallthrough. Theming is deep: dozens of built-in themes, a UI color palette editor, and custom CSS over CSS variables. Alternate views include a fast-loading minimal startpage and a workspace view that embeds apps side-by-side without leaving the dashboard. Icons resolve from Font Awesome, homelab icon packs, emojis, or auto-fetched favicons. Built-in authentication, multi-page support, cloud backup/sync, and multi-language round out an MIT project with a massive community.

A self-hosted "second brain": Khoj indexes your own files and answers questions from them, parsing Markdown (whole Obsidian vaults included), org-mode, PDF, Word, plain text, Notion pages, GitHub repositories, and images described by a vision model, then embedding everything with sentence-transformers into a vector index for semantic search and RAG with cited sources. Any LLM backend works: local models like Llama, Qwen, or Mistral via Ollama, or cloud models like GPT, Claude, and Gemini. You can build custom agents, each with its own persona, scoped knowledge base, chat model, and tools such as web search and code execution. Scheduled automations run recurring research and deliver newsletters or notifications to your inbox, and research mode performs multi-hop web searches with inline citations. Access it from a browser, the Obsidian plugin, Emacs, desktop, or WhatsApp - all clients connect to the same self-hosted instance, making Khoj one of the few AI assistants Emacs users can point at decades of org files. Semantic search means recall works without exact keywords: "that paper about forecasting with transformers" surfaces the right PDF even when you cannot remember its title. Switching LLM backends never requires re-indexing your documents, and with a local model via Ollama, even inference stays on hardware you control - journals, research, and private notes are never sent anywhere. Python/FastAPI stack, AGPL-licensed, with PostgreSQL storage.

A pile of paper becomes a searchable digital archive under Paperless-ngx, the community-maintained document management system. The pipeline is what makes it work: drop a file into the consumption folder (or let it poll an email inbox), and a worker hashes it for duplicate detection, routes it by type, runs OCRmyPDF with Tesseract (100+ languages) on anything without a text layer, and produces an archivable PDF/A with invisible selectable text embedded - so Ctrl+F works on your scans. Then the smart part: a scikit-learn classifier (TF-IDF plus multi-label prediction) trained on your own tagged documents automatically assigns tags, correspondents, and document types to new arrivals, alongside rule-based exact, keyword, and regex matching for deterministic cases. Full-text search includes relevance ranking, match highlighting, autocomplete, and "more like this" similarity search. Apache Tika integration extends consumption to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and LibreOffice formats. The Django/Angular app adds custom fields, saved views on a customizable dashboard, bulk editing, workflow automation triggered on upload or matching, shareable public links with expiration, and a robust permissions system with per-document access control. Metadata lives in PostgreSQL with Redis-queued Celery workers processing documents in parallel. Your tax records, invoices, and contracts stay on your server - searchable in seconds, never in someone else's cloud.

The most-starred open-source project management platform on GitHub with over 55,000 stars, Plane delivers what Jira, Linear, Monday, and ClickUp charge thousands per year for — issue tracking, sprint planning, documentation, and AI-powered workflows in one unified workspace that you own and control entirely. Work items feature a rich text editor with file uploads, sub-properties, custom states, priorities, labels, assignees, and cross-referencing, organized across five customizable layout views (list, board, table, spreadsheet, Gantt) with Command-K navigation for instant access to anything. Time-boxed Cycles provide sprint planning with automatic burn-down charts, velocity tracking, and scope change detection, while Modules break complex projects into manageable deliverables with progress aggregation. Built-in Pages combine AI-powered documentation with rich formatting, image embedding, and one-click conversion of notes into actionable work items. The AI layer reads across every project, cycle, document, and thread in the workspace — agents take real assignments, triage incoming requests, assign owners, track blockers, and ship status updates automatically. Native integrations connect GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Sentry, Figma, and 50+ tools with bidirectional issue sync and PR tracking, while import pipelines migrate entire workspaces from Jira, Linear, Asana, ClickUp, or Monday in minutes. The REST API with OAuth 2.0, HMAC-signed webhooks, typed SDKs in Node.js and Python, and a native MCP server enable custom automations. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

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.

With 27,000 GitHub stars and 349 releases shipping multiple times per week, Huly replaces four separate SaaS subscriptions — Linear for issue tracking, Notion for documents, Slack for team chat, and Motion for time-blocking — with a single self-hosted platform that charges nothing per seat. The issue tracker provides projects, sprints, roadmaps, custom workflows, and Kanban views with bi-directional GitHub and GitLab synchronization that keeps issues and pull requests in lockstep across both systems. Collaborative documents use CRDT-based real-time editing for wikis, meeting notes, and technical specs with nested page hierarchies and rich embedding. Team messaging delivers channels, direct messages, threaded conversations, reactions, and pinned messages in a Slack-equivalent interface that lives alongside your project context. The time-blocking planner schedules tasks into calendar slots with drag-and-drop, integrating directly with your issue backlog so nothing falls through cracks. A virtual office module provides audio and video rooms for standups and pair programming with external guest access. HR features handle team management, office hours, and PTO tracking. The architecture runs 30+ microservices on CockroachDB for ACID-compliant storage, Elasticsearch for full-text search, MinIO for file attachments, and Redpanda for event streaming. Desktop apps ship for macOS, Windows, and Linux alongside mobile apps for iOS and Android. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. EPL-2.0 licensed.

Two decades of continuous development made Roundcube the standard-bearer of open-source webmail - a PHP IMAP client that gives any mail server a polished, application-like interface in the browser. It connects to whatever IMAP/SMTP stack you run - Dovecot, Postfix, a hosted mailbox - and delivers the full desktop-client experience: drag-and-drop message management, threaded conversation views, full MIME and HTML mail handling, find-as-you-type address book with groups and LDAP connectors, multiple sender identities, full-text search, and spell checking in dozens of languages. The default Elastic skin is genuinely responsive, working as well on a phone as a desktop, and the entire UI is skinnable. The plugin API is where deployments get shaped: managesieve exposes server-side filter management in the UI, enigma brings PGP encryption and signing via GnuPG, markasjunk trains spam filters, zipdownload batches attachments, password lets users change credentials, and attachment_reminder catches the classic forgotten-attachment email - among hundreds of community plugins. Built-in caching keeps large mailboxes fast, IMAP ACLs and shared folders support team setups, and XSS protection is engineered into the rendering pipeline. It scales from a single personal mailbox to unlimited users, backed by MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, or SQLite. GPL-licensed with regular security releases.
