Self-hosted family organizer

Bring the household into one calm place.

Tribu helps families plan the week, share tasks, keep shopping in sync, remember birthdays, manage meals, and run a read-only shared dashboard from their own server.

Built for real family life.

Calendar apps, shopping lists, school reminders, chats, and sticky notes all solve one slice. Tribu puts the daily moving parts where the household can see them.

See today clearly

Events, open tasks, birthdays, shopping, reminders, rewards, and activity live in one shared dashboard.

Put it where people pass by

Pair a read-only kitchen tablet or wall screen without leaving a personal account signed in.

Keep phones connected

CalDAV and CardDAV sync work with iPhone and iPad built-in apps, and with Android through DAV-compatible clients such as DAVx5.

One product for the ordinary things that decide the week.

  • Plan appointments, school events, routines, and meals.
  • Assign tasks and keep recurring chores visible.
  • Share shopping lists while people are out.
  • Keep recipes, gifts, contacts, and birthdays close to the rest of planning.
  • Search across the household when you need something fast.

From dinner plan to grocery run.

Meal plans, recipes, shopping lists, and task ownership sit in the same home base, so planning dinner does not become another scattered workflow.

Self-hosted where it counts.

Run Tribu with Docker Compose, published GHCR images, PostgreSQL, and Valkey. Keep family data on your server while the app stays focused on the household using it.

mkdir tribu && cd tribu
curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/itsDNNS/tribu/main/docker/docker-compose.yml
curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/itsDNNS/tribu/main/docker/.env.example
cp .env.example .env
# Fill in JWT_SECRET and POSTGRES_PASSWORD
docker compose up -d

Before exposing Tribu to the internet, put it behind HTTPS, set SECURE_COOKIES=true, keep secrets stable, and test backup restore.
