Website: dinkydash.co Every morning at 6am, DinkyDash calls the Claude API to generate a fresh, personalized dashboard — with calendar events, chore rotations, countdowns, fun facts, and daily challenges — then displays it on a screen at home. Two ways to run it Self-hosted (this repo). Free, MIT-licensed, runs on your own hardware with your own Anthropic API key. Setup takes an afternoon and some comfort with a terminal. Self-hosting is community-supported . Issues and pull requests are welcome, but there is no support commitment — if you need it to just work, use the hosted version. Hosted (in development). Zero setup, $5/month or $39/year. Join the waitlist. Built from this same repo — see PLAN.md. What the dashboard shows - AI-generated daily greeting and headline - Chore rotation badges (automatically rotated daily) - Countdowns to birthdays, holidays, and special dates - Calendar events with AI commentary, pulled from any iCal feed - Fun facts, daily challenges, and a pet corner How it works --- Getting started Prerequisites - Python 3.11+ - An Anthropic API key - A Google Calendar iCal URL (Google Calendar → Settings → Integrate calendar → Public address in iCal format) 1.
