What is it?
Personal Management System is a self-hosted web application that works like a small personal CMS or CRM. It bundles many modules in one place: todos and goals, notes, contacts, passwords, health records, travel ideas, payments and owed money, shopping lists, work overtime and holidays, images, files, video, and read-only reports.
The passwords module stores entries encrypted in the database and offers a copy button in the frontend to retrieve the original value. The schedules module tracks recurring items such as oil changes or bill payments, showing them on the dashboard and in a notification bell. Files, images and health entries can be linked to uploaded storage.
This repository is the backend only; the frontend is a separate project. The author built it for personal use, with the goal of running it on a home server or Raspberry Pi without internet access. Extensions are written in the Symfony codebase, and the project is MIT licensed.
