The record

Purpose: Koffan is a lightweight shopping-list web app designed for couples and families to manage lists together.
Offline use: After opening the app and signing in online, users can manage lists, sections, and products offline, with pending changes synchronized when the connection returns.
Offline requirement: Offline page loads and the installed PWA require HTTPS, except that localhost works for development.
Accounts: Optional accounts and workspaces let people use personal logins and keep separate lists for multiple households on one server.
Integrations: Koffan provides a REST API and signed outbound item-event webhooks, with examples including n8n, Node-RED, and Zapier.
Webhook security: Webhook payloads can be signed with HMAC-SHA256, filtered by event type, and retried using durable SQLite-backed storage.
Login protection: The app includes login rate limiting against brute-force attempts, configurable by failed-attempt count, time window, and lockout duration.
Workspace privacy: The maker says workspace members can see that workspace’s lists, while people outside it cannot.
Webhook limitation: Webhooks are not scoped to a workspace and can receive item events from every workspace on the instance, including list and section names.
Browser support: Koffan works in mobile and desktop browsers and can be installed on a phone as a progressive web app.
Deployment: The maker documents Docker deployment and running Koffan from source on macOS, Linux, or Windows.
License: Koffan uses the MIT License with Commons Clause, which permits use, modification, and sharing but prohibits selling it or offering it as a paid service.
Maker: The GitHub organization profile identifies PanSalut as Artur Witoś.
