Not a productivity suite. The specific, boring, load-bearing stuff of living with other people.
Add bread from the bus, your flatmate sees it before they hit the shop. Tick things off together; the list empties as the trip happens.
Log who paid, split it however is fair, and mitlist keeps the running tally. One tap shows exactly who owes what, no group-chat math.
Set a rhythm once: bins on Tuesday, bathroom every other week. It moves down the household on its own and nags nobody but the person whose turn it is.
The plumber's coming at nine. Movie night Friday. Stick it on the shared board so it lives somewhere other than one person's memory.
The whole point is that it disappears into the day. Here is a normal one.
mitlist is open source. Use app.mitlist.me in your browser, grab the mobile apps, or run the whole thing on your own box and own every byte of it.
Every line is on GitHub under the AGPL. Read it, fork it, send a patch, or just check it does what it says.
Read the code →One docker compose up and the backend, database, and
web app are yours. Your household's data never leaves your server.
There is no growth team mining your grocery list. The product is the app, not you. It works offline and syncs when you're back.
The complete self-hosted app stays free and open. Official hosting is free for normal household use while it remains sustainable: no ads, no data sale, and no crippled community edition.
The best support is a household that runs on mitlist. Star the repo, report the bugs you hit, and tell the next flat that's drowning in group-chat math.
Star on GitHub →Running your own box costs us nothing and gives you everything. Self-hosters get the complete product — same features, same app, your hardware.
Self-host guide →Donations are opening soon and will go straight to hosting costs, accounted for in the open. Until then, stars and bug reports are worth more than money.
Get everyone on the same board. It takes a code and about a minute.
