Hey everyone! I’m really excited about learning n8n and want to create some cool workflows for my personal life. The problem is I’m drawing a blank on what to build.
I’ve already got Home Assistant handling my home stuff and RSS Bridge for feeds. So I’m looking for ideas beyond work and home automations.
What are some fun or useful n8n projects you’ve made for your personal life? I’d love to hear about workflows that have made a real difference for you outside of work and home tasks.
Maybe something for hobby tracking, fitness goals, or managing personal finances? I’m open to all suggestions! Thanks in advance for any ideas you can share.
I’ve been using n8n to revolutionize my recipe management and meal planning. I built a workflow that scrapes my favorite cooking websites and aggregates recipes into a personal database. It tags dishes based on ingredients, cuisine type, and dietary restrictions.
Every week, it generates a meal plan considering my preferences, what’s in season, and what’s already in my pantry (I input this manually). It even creates a shopping list and sends it to my phone.
The real game-changer has been the integration with my fitness tracker. The workflow adjusts meal suggestions based on my activity levels and calorie expenditure. It’s like having a personal nutritionist and chef rolled into one.
This setup has saved me tons of time, reduced food waste, and helped me maintain a balanced diet without the mental overhead. Plus, it’s introduced me to new recipes I might not have tried otherwise. Definitely one of my favorite personal automations!
hey there! i use n8n to track my plant care routine. it sends reminders when each plant needs watering, fertilizing, or repotting based on their species and last care date. it also logs temperature and humidity from a smart sensor, alerting me if conditions aren’t ideal. super helpful for keeping my green buddies happy!
I’ve found n8n incredibly useful for managing my book collection and reading habits. I created a workflow that connects to my Goodreads account and my local library’s API. It automatically checks if books on my ‘Want to Read’ list are available at the library, then sends me a notification when they’re in stock. It also tracks my reading progress and generates monthly reports on genres I’ve explored, pages read, and authors discovered. This has not only streamlined my reading hobby but also helped me diversify my literary choices. It’s a great way to combine data tracking with a personal passion, and it’s made a significant difference in how I approach my reading goals.
