Hi!
2025 was a big year for my open source goals and I wanted to share some accomplishments with you, after all I wouldn’t have gotten so far with any of my projects if it wasn’t for the few selfhosted communities I interact with daily <3
Thank you for all your support and here’s a summary of everything I’ve built/maintained throughout 2025. Everything is free, self-hostable and entirely open source.
p.s. - no, these are NOT vibe coded.
jotty.page - 1.3k stars - 78.3K total downloads
repo: https://github.com/fccview/jotty

Jotty is a lightweight note taking/checklist app with a ton of features packed in a very minimal easy to use UI, it features two types of encryptions, drawio/excalidraw/mermaid diagrams, tons of language syntax highlighting for codeblocks, kanban boards and a lot more.
Cr*nmaster - 903 stars - 103K total downloads
repo: https://github.com/fccview/cronmaster

Crnmaster is a UI to manage cronjobs and easily create and schedule scripts, it allows you to log cronjobs (including live logging)*
Scatola Magica (beta) - 108 stars - 2.47K total downloads
repo: https://github.com/fccview/scatola-magica

Scatola Magica is a file upload/download system which allows you to upload files in chunk for maximum speed. The cool feature about it is that you can drop a file literally anywhere, from anywhere, including copy/pasting into the page, if you paste text it creates a file with the right file extensions - e.g. if you paste javascript it’ll create a .js file) - it also has full web torrent support, but needs to be enabled in the settings page as it’s in beta
Here’s to a 2026 full of self hosting and coding <3


2024 was the year I got more serious with self hosting and migrating away from the cloud offered by Google etc. But 2025 was the year I pushed to run all my own services and get the family on board as well; trying to educate my kids with running our own services (the wife is so not interested!).
There were some really cool projects released last year and some oddly well-timed ones as I was looking for various services, and Jotty was one of those!
Thanks so much for you work and rest assured amongst the negativity you may receive in certain corners of the web, there are people truly appreciative of yours, and others like you, hard work.
So relatable… haha
Thank YOU! I am so glad you found Jotty useful and resonated with it!
