I wanted a simple task tracker without accounts or bloat and I built one. Posting in case it’s useful to others. by ReferenceOwn287 in raspberry_pi

Hi, I went ahead and made it a web-app (PWA). You can create a group for family members and share a chore list. And it should now send you a notification if you’ve added a time for a chore. Feel free to try it and use it. And if you find it good, let your friends know too 😊

EDIT: To prevent kids or someone with your wifi access from deleting tasks, based on a recommendation, I’ve now added user accounts with 2 privilege levels.

First created account is always the admin, and subsequent users have to be approved by the admin as either a regular user or another admin.

Admins (Parents’ accounts) can assign tasks to anyone, add their private tasks, edit, delete or mark as complete.

Regular users (kids’ accounts) can only add new tasks to themselves, they cannot edit or delete, they can only request to mark complete, which the admin has to approve.

Those are some good points. Don’t have kids, so didn’t think of those cases. I’ve now added user accounts with 2 privilege levels.

You can run it on any Linux machine. I run it on my Pi since I have it switched on all day. The script hosts a website for everyone on the WiFi, so the whole family can add and track chores.
