Self-hostable, privacy-friendly productivity tool.
Jinear is a project management and calendar app for small teams or individuals who prefer to self-host. Originally built for personal use, it's now open source and ready for anyone to use or customize.
Hi everyone!
I’m the maker of Jinear. I originally built it as a side project to manage tasks for myself, my wife’s PhD planning, and a friend’s small business. Over time, it grew into something more complete.
I didn’t get traction as a product, so I decided to open source it for others to self-host freely.
If you have questions, feedback, or ideas, I’d love to hear from you. Thanks for checking it out!
Here's the repo
https://gitlab.com/140crafts/use...
I currently self-host my own Jinear instance on a Mac Mini at home. Also using jinear's custom domain support for pages to host my personal website (https://cagdastunca.com) and jinear product updates (https://forum.jinear.co). I'm keeping registration open on my jinear instance(https://jinear.co) for demo purposes.
@cagdas_tunca really cool project and love that you open-sourced it! Curious—beyond the calendar feature, how does Jinear differentiate itself from tools like Notion or Motion? Would love to hear what makes it unique!
Right now, I feel the easiest task management is just my notebook—nothing fancy. I write down my tasks in the morning and glance at them again at the end of the day
@admiralrohan Actually there’s not a lot talk about. She used Jinear to create tasks in the calendar for her reading schedule, attached papers or articles to those tasks, and relied on reminders to stay on track. It helped her organize her workload day by day.
Jinear sounds like a fantastic tool, especially for those who value privacy and prefer self-hosting. The fact that it started as a personal project but grew into an open-source, customizable productivity solution is impressive. Are there plans to add any collaboration features for teams, like shared calendars or task assignments?
Great to see open-source solutions like Jinear enhancing productivity! If you're considering expanding its capabilities or integrating with no-code platforms, I'd be glad to collaborate. At Prime Dev, we focus on building efficient, no-code solutions tailored to user needs.

@cagdas_tunca What was the problem with existing apps?

@evgenii_zaitsev1 These stuff already exists. Add someone to your workspace and you can assign tasks, share calendars etc.
Nice UI. But it seems like a bit overwhelming at first bird's-eye view. Try to make it more simpleler
