I am a recent member of multi-monitor gang and I won't lie it doubled
my productivity. But I have one more small screen which is not that
useful. So I am looking for a selfhosted software or even an android
app that I can put up on the screen. My requirements are having
calendar, to-do list, notes, etc all at a glance. I use Google
workspace for college so a self hosted software which can pull data
from Google would be best(I know it's an irony) but a separate. For
now the only solution I have is creating a custom dashboard using home
assistant. Maybe magic mirror software would work too but I haven't
tried it yet. Can anyone suggest a better alternative?

I like taiga.io. I'm not familiar with google products so I can't tell
you if there is a plugin for google workspaces and how that would look
like.

I prefer Wekan for a kanban board. As for notes, I'm just adding notes
to individual cards as needed. Everything I do is related to a card so
it works well

I run my own gitea instance and made a project for my life. I make use
of the milestones isssues and projects there. It’s not ideal but works
fairly well

Is there a reason you cannot just use a window manager or tiler for
this? Something like FancyZones. Even snap to corner functionality
would suffice, given the small monitor has enough resolution.

Let me start by saying that your requirements are not really clear to
me. What are your expectations for each of these 3 components?

I think you’d like to have a) a planning tool (calendar) plus b) a
todo list and c) an information archive, possibly full text searchable
for when you need to look up some kind of information.

Usually, calendar programs allow fulltext search. So not knowing more
details about your requirements: Why not use a calendar for notes and
todos, too?

Yes that's what I'm doing currently but that is too cumbersome and not
well managed. A single page with all important information would make
it easier to look at the data

I use nextcloud dashboard to have a glance at calendar, notes and to-
do.

This. NC is actually perfect for this, assuming you are hosting it
already.

Not a calendar but the Vikunja overview is also quite useful.

I built a product to help me with work. It's called success and is
built to be self hosted. https://github.com/mbseid/success

As an Engineering Manager there is a lot to keep track of, so this was
built out of need. I use it everyday at work.

This looks really cool from the description, is there any screenshots
of what it looks like?

Sure. I just added one to the Github Repo.
