I really dont find the management intensive at all, I mostly don’t think about it tbh. Thats why I caveated on self hosting, if its simple just an app will do. The moment you add in complication (multiple users for example) it starts to make quite a bit of sense. Most of those tasks also have a related consumable (and another task as a result, such as ordering diapers to use my diaper pail example). Even the robovac example goes to consumables, like replacing the filter/brushes/etc. Or cleaning the sheets means laundry detergent, etc.

Unless you mean the grocery portion, which I do while shopping to check needed items off the list and set the stock (simple scan from the phone).
