I found http://owncloud.org after looking through the http://tagspaces.org site.

I really can't wait to install them and see if they are the personal content management systems that I've been looking for for years.

They both can also be installed on Window/Linux/Mac/Android/iOS/Web (on private server, nice interfaces, PHP based I think).

Anyone know of similar web-based (but self-hosted) software like this that might be life-changing?

Be sure to check out Wallabag (http://wallabag.org), an open source self-hosted read-it-later client, kind of like Pocket/Instapaper.

They also have another website (http://framabag.org) where you can try it out with a free account.

The one I use most in addition to ownCloud is http://subsonic.org/ – after I ripped my full music collection I no longer felt the need for a Spotify subscription. Subsonic has a really nice Android app, but the only iPhone app I found was quite confusing, so if you're using an iPhone you should probably … make a new app :)

BTW, ownCloud used to have a remoteStorage provider plugin that would've been useful for Laverna, but it was removed due to various issues :-/ https://github.com/owncloud/core/wiki/Project%20ideas#ownclo... may lead to a new one

Audiophone looks nice from the screenshots? iOS7 unlike the rest of them.

I've used Subsonic for roughly 4 years now and have used both iSub for iOS and the official android app and find both to be quite similar. Only exception being on both my S3 and now S5 there being no playback options with screen locked. iSub integrated nicely into iOS and had same functionality on lock screen as iTunes.
