What is familynido?

FamilyNido is a self-hosted household management app designed to be installed by a single family on their own home server, keeping all data private on their own hardware rather than in someone else's cloud. It covers most of the coordination needs of a household in one place: a shared calendar, a chore tracker with gamification, a weekly meal planner, per-child school schedules, health records for each family member, and a family message wall. The app installs as a PWA (Progressive Web App), which means family members can add it to the home screen of any phone, tablet, or laptop and it behaves like a native app. A dedicated "tablet mode" provides a full-screen rotating dashboard suitable for a tablet mounted on the kitchen wall, cycling through today's events, tasks, meals, and messages automatically. The chore system awards points for each completed task, creating a scoreboard that makes everyone's contributions visible without nagging. The calendar can mirror read-only data from Google Calendar accounts, so existing schedules don't need to be re-entered. An open API lets external automation tools like n8n, Home Assistant, or iOS shortcuts add tasks to the system programmatically. You would deploy FamilyNido on a home server or a small home-lab machine using Docker. It is built with a .NET 10 backend, an Angular frontend, and PostgreSQL for storage. The project was developed by a single developer working alongside an AI coding assistant and is designed to be private, ad-free, and telemetry-free.
