Overview
Donetick is a task and chore manager for individuals, families and teams, available as a hosted web account, iOS and Android apps, a self-hosted binary or a Home Assistant add-on. Tasks recur on daily, weekly, monthly, custom or adaptive schedules, and can be rotated between assignees using rules such as random, least assigned or least completed.

Strengths and trade-offs
Strengths
- Rotates chores by random, least-assigned or least-completed rules
- Open source: self-host a binary or add it to Home Assistant
- Records who completed each task, when, and any notes added
- Reminders before, on or after the due date via Telegram, push or webhook
Trade-offs
- Thing-based triggers are excluded from the Basic plan; Plus is required
- No prices published on the captured page, so the cost of Plus is unclear
- Self-hosting means running and updating your own binary or add-on
