Show HN: Solyto – a free, open-source all-in-one personal management app

Leomuck

I’ve been building something over the last year, with probably 1000 hours going into it. A personal management app that does almost everything while being privacy-focused, no-bullshit, open-source and selfhostable. It’s called solyto. I've been frustrated for a while with what's out there. I'm a data hoarder and love to organize things, but I kept jumping from app to app - started with Notion, but was frustrated with speed and then privacy issues. Switched to Obsidian, tried to do everything there, but figured Obsidian is great at notes, but wasn’t meant for writing custom JavaScript code to build libraries. Tried AnyType, found it confusing. Tried lots of other apps and was annoyed by pricy subscriptions, useless AI features and lots of “you should do this” things. There are great open-source options for most everything, but being a software developer at work, I really didn’t feel like stitching together 6 apps to do what I want and also, I found that’s not accessible to everybody. I just wanted an app that does what I need in my daily life, that is easy-to-use and no-bullshit. So I built solyto. It’s completely free, open-source, self-hostable and community-focused. I’ve been using it with a couple of my friends for half a year and have replaced pretty much every other app I’ve been using. I’d love for this to be useful to others as well and to be some kind of community project - people suggest or wish for things, I (or other contributors) build it and that’s that. No company shit, no money incentives, no other motives. Solyto is available at https://solyto.app . It does todos, notes, calendars & contacts (with DAV sync to your phone), music library, book library, games library, news, daily trackers, finance tracking, time tracking, well basically almost everything I could think of. And if a thing you’d like is missing, I’d love to build it! If any of you would like to try it out, you can do so via the website or via GitHub for selfhosting. We have pre-built images, compose files, etc. If anything is missing, let me know! Anyway, I'd love feedback on this. Any kind of feedback! And of course any questions are also welcome.

I'd like to checkout the app, but when I tried to register, the password requirements seem a little bit strict. Why not just allow users to use lowercase a for their password? This would have helped me register for the website.

Looks a lot like desktop usage. I have created https://github.com/qrauth-io/qrauth open source. I can help with integration for Passwordless login if you want. Also bonus social login by default
