Summary
OpenFamily is an open-source app for organizing household activities such as shopping, tasks, calendars, budgets, and recipes. Its 12 built-in modules synchronize in real time across devices. Shopping lists support automatic categories, prices, quantities, reusable templates, and live item ticking. The calendar handles recurring and all-day appointments, up to five reminders per appointment, connections to Google, Outlook, and iCloud calendars, and .ics imports. Meal planning links weekly views to recipes, can import Tandoor plans, and exports a week's plan as PDF. Family profiles can hold health details, allergies, vaccines, and emergency contacts; push alerts notify each member about appointments and tasks even when the app is closed. OpenFamily integrates with Mealie, Tandoor, Home Assistant, Grocy, and Nextcloud. Families can self-host with Docker Compose, or use OpenFamily Cloud for 3.90 €/month per family. Self-hosting is free; Windows has an all-in-one installer and Android is distributed as an APK.
