Every home cook keeps a graveyard of recipes scattered across bookmarks, screenshots, chat threads, and one stained index card, and CookTrace gathers the whole mess into one self-hosted library that knows what is in your pantry. Import recipes from URLs, files, or photos, or bring entire Mealie, Paprika, and Tandoor archives in bulk, then cook with live scaling that does fraction-aware ingredient math, per-step photos, and an inline unit converter. A pantry-match pill on every recipe card tells you at a glance what you can actually cook tonight, while barcode scanning and expiration digests keep stock honest. The cook diary and meal planner move from list to month calendar with drag-to-re-plan, and the shopping list generates itself from planned recipes, skipping items you already own and grouping the rest by aisle. Households organize into cookbooks and shared Kitchens with public links, and an optional conversational assistant can log a cook, plan a meal, or import a recipe for you. An opt-in MCP server even exposes your recipes and lists to external AI agents under token-scoped tool tiers.

Plain-text recipes in, a phone-friendly recipe site out: CookCLI reads Cooklang files and serves them with scaling, search, shopping lists, meal plans, and pantry tracking. Write ingredients, cookware, and timers inline. Open any recipe from a phone or laptop on your network. Change the serving count and the quantities recalculate. Search by ingredient or by text. Plan a week in a .menu file and get one shopping list, merged across recipes, grouped by store aisle from your own aisle configuration, with pantry items already subtracted. The pantry file holds quantities, expiry dates, and low-stock thresholds. Ask which items are depleted or expiring, or which dishes you can cook right now, near matches included. In the terminal, print any recipe as Cooklang, JSON, or Markdown, run template-driven reports, and let a doctor command check your files. Import a recipe from a web page with an OpenAI API key. Switch on sign-in so everyone can browse but only signed-in users can edit recipes, the pantry, or the shopping list. A documented HTTP API feeds other tools. The whole collection also builds into a static website. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

HomeHub gives a household one private page for the everyday coordination that usually scatters across chat threads, fridge notes, and five separate apps. Pin shared notes where everyone sees them, drop files into the shared cloud for the house, and keep one shopping list the whole family edits, with suggestions drawn from what you bought before. Chores become a shared checklist, the calendar holds the dates that matter, and a who's-home view answers the question every family group chat asks in the evening. The expense tracker follows family spending and handles recurring bills like the milk, the newspaper, and subscriptions, while the recipe book and expiry tracker keep the kitchen honest. Small utilities round it out: download media straight to the server, shorten URLs, compress PDFs, generate QR codes, and check the weather without leaving the hub. Every feature toggles on or off in one config file, themes recolor the interface, and there is no account system at all, because the hub trusts your home network instead of a password database. It runs happily on a Raspberry Pi, installs as a PWA on phones, and keeps uploads, media, and data in mounted folders you can back up with any file tool.
