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.
