Donetick
Self-hosted task and chore manager with assignee rotation, adaptive scheduling and a points system.
Recurring tasks, assignee rotation, NFC tags and points for households and groups.
Donetick is an open-source app for organising tasks and chores with family and friends. It suits households that want shared recurring chores and can run a Docker container.
What it is
You describe tasks in plain English and it extracts dates and recurrence. It rotates assignees, can learn adaptive due dates from past completions, tracks time, supports nested subtasks, and awards points for completing tasks.
Who it's for
It suits families and small groups sharing recurring chores. It does not suit teams needing project boards or full offline use; the README says offline support is very limited.

Adaptive scheduling
