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?
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.
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 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.
