IngleGitHub

The family chores board for your kitchen wall

Ingle puts everyone’s chores, points and pocket money on a tablet the whole family can see. Tick things off with one tap, let grown-ups put mistakes right, and turn it into a photo frame when nobody’s looking.

Self-host it freeJoin the hosted waitlist

Free and open source, and happy on a Raspberry Pi. It’s set up for UK families from the start, with pounds and pence, dates as DD/MM/YYYY and weeks that begin on Monday.

The Ingle board: a column for each family member with their chores, points and progress, and shared chores up for grabs at the top.

On the wall, all day

Ingle lives on a wall-mounted iPad, and looks after itself when nobody’s using it.

The screensaver: a landscape photo with a large clock, the date and everyone’s progress today.

A photo frame when it’s idle

After a few quiet minutes the board fades into a slideshow of your photos, with the time, what’s on from your calendars, and how everyone’s getting on. A tap brings the board back, and only wakes the screen, so nothing gets ticked by accident.

The locked display: just a photo and the clock, with “Locked. Tap to unlock.”

Locked when the house is empty

Lock every display from your phone, on a weekly schedule, or after hours of no use.

The unlock keypad over the locked display, saying “Hi Sam, enter your PIN”.

Unlock with a PIN

Pick who’s unlocking and enter their PIN, or use a household code.

Light or dark, it follows the iPad

Every open board, on the wall or in your pocket, updates live the moment anything changes. Everyone gets their own colour, emoji or photo.

Run it at home, for free

Ingle is open source under the AGPL-3.0. It’s a single Go binary with a SQLite file, so it runs happily on a home server, a NAS or a Raspberry Pi. You don’t need an account with us, and your family’s data never leaves the house.

  • Docker image for amd64 and arm64 on GHCR
  • HTTPS with Caddy, even on a home network
  • Nightly backups, and migrations that run themselves
