What Manage My Damn Life actually does
Manage My Damn Life is a self-hosted web interface designed for interacting with CalDAV task lists and calendars. It provides a centralised front end to help you organise your schedule and to-do items on your own infrastructure. Because the user interface focuses purely on CalDAV standards, it acts as an alternative client rather than a standalone backend.
Best fit: It is well-suited for self-hosters who rely on standard CalDAV servers for their calendar data and want a dedicated web-based dashboard to manage everything in one place.
Worth knowing: The project has a moderate maintenance profile and overlaps heavily with widely adopted groupware suites and established calendar web clients, which might offer more comprehensive feature sets.
Deployment notes
Since it runs via Docker and Node.js, you will typically need to configure persistent storage for any local state and place the container behind a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
