Hey all,
I’ve been looking for an app to replace Flatastic as it’s a convenient way to track shared expenses, shopping lists, chores and notes. However, it has ads and basic features locked behind a SaaS model. Ideally such a replacement would be free and open source, but as long as it works and doesn’t sell my data, I’d buy something for a few euros. Suggestions are appreciated!
I tried grocy but it was too cumbersome for day to day usage. Ended up using Nextcloud:
Created a set of calendars/todo lists and set them to shared. One for chores, another for appointments and last one for shopping list.
JTX board app for android phones (also davx5 for syncing, but that was already installed on most for personal info sync and backups).
Added those NC to my HomeAssistant and replaced the default shopping list with the NC ones.
(optional) added some geofence zones on HA on regular shopping spots, and an automation that sends the shopping list as a notification to whoever is nearby.
Setup was a bit hit and miss until I figured stuff out but it’s been working fine for us for the better part of a year now.
