Household task apps usually make you choose: share everything, or share nothing. Dægwork shares one task at a time, with real dependencies and access that doesn't leak what you're not allowed to see, self-hosted on your own hardware.
Shared to-do apps tend to offer one setting: share the whole list, or don't share at all. That's fine for a grocery list and wrong for anything with structure, a task that depends on another, a document only one person should see, a chore that's private until it's actually done. A shared calendar and a sticky note on the fridge end up covering the gaps badly, between them.
Every task belongs to one person, who decides whether to share it, and how much: read-only, or full access, to one person or a group. Dependencies work the same way across the whole hierarchy, not just inside a single list, so real household logistics, finish the shopping list before the shop run, actually hold together.
If you haven't been granted access to a task, even the fact that it exists doesn't surface, not as a locked placeholder, not as a hint about what's blocking something else. A blocked task shows as blocked; it doesn't tell you why, if you're not allowed to know.
Sub-tasks are for organisation. Dependencies are a separate, explicit relationship between any two tasks, wherever they sit. Most task apps only offer one of these; treating them as genuinely independent is what makes a real household dependency chain possible.
No account with a vendor, no data-retention policy to read. It runs as a couple of containers on hardware you control, next to Armarium.
Dægwork runs as a couple of small Docker containers: the same FastAPI, async SQLAlchemy, and React stack as Armarium, SQLite by default, deployed as a sibling app on the same server.
Still being built, deliberately not rushed. Open source happens once the sharing and dependency model is solid enough to trust with real households, not before, since the entire premise is people trusting each other with private tasks. That's the whole roadmap: get the trust model right, then let more people rely on it.
