Why Maht's Home?

While a few systems were already available as far as I know of, I chose to create my own system. Why?

• Few of the existing systems were easy to install.
• None of the existing systems had all the features I wanted.

So why should you use Maht's Home? Below is a list of all planned features.

• It is easy to install, use & customise.
• It is as free and open source as it can be.
• It has many useful and powerful features, such as:
  • An inventory that can be used to track items in your home.
    • Items can have a location, quantity, and expiration date.
    • Items can be grouped into categories.
    • Items can be added to and from a shopping list.
    • Items can be added to and from a meal.
    • An overview page of soon-expiring items is available.
    • An overview page of items that are low in quantity is available.
    • Users can be notified when items are low in quantity or soon-expiring.
  • A calendar that can be used to schedule events, tasks, and reminders.
  • A shopping list that can be used to keep track of items to buy.
  • A to-do list that can be used to keep track of tasks to do.
  • A notes section that can be used to keep track of notes.
  • A dashboard that can be used to keep track of important information.
  • A settings section that can be used to configure the system.
  • A user management section that can be used to manage users.
