I am a recent member of multi-monitor gang and I won’t lie it doubled my productivity. But I have one more small screen which is not that useful. So I am looking for a selfhosted software or even an android app that I can put up on the screen. My requirements are having calendar, to-do list, notes, etc all at a glance. I use Google workspace for college so a self hosted software which can pull data from Google would be best(I know it’s an irony) but a separate. For now the only solution I have is creating a custom dashboard using home assistant. Maybe magic mirror software would work too but I haven’t tried it yet. Can anyone suggest a better alternative?
Is there a reason you cannot just use a window manager or tiler for this? Something like FancyZones. Even snap to corner functionality would suffice, given the small monitor has enough resolution.
I’ve been using this for awhile as a self hosted homepage for my home network: https://gethomepage.dev/
Recent updates have been moving towards more the productivity space I think it seems. The widgets in particular might offer what you want, with room for customisation. It’s largely configured through yaml. You can stand it up with a docker compose file.
I built a product to help me with work. It’s called success and is built to be self hosted. https://github.com/mbseid/success
As an Engineering Manager there is a lot to keep track of, so this was built out of need. I use it everyday at work.
This looks really cool from the description, is there any screenshots of what it looks like?
I’ve been using nextcloud apps since setting up a home server, Deck has been pretty useful for me for compartmentalizing my work tasks. There are a lot of different apps you can set up, including a workspace clone, but none of them I would say are worth it unless you want to use nextcloud in the first place. There are ways to sync nextcloud with Google drive, but I haven’t tried it yet. If you have a raspberry pi you can install nextcloud using the nextcloud pi install script pretty easily. I ran it on a pi 4 without any issues for a few weeks before migrating it to an old nuc.
