I’m experimenting with raidcale. I’m trying to find some client apps for Linux and Android.

So far, I have:

Desktop

  • Calendars: GNOME Calendar
  • Contacts: GNOME Contacts
  • Tasks: Errands
  • Journals: Unknown

Android:

Apps working with VTODO seem to be common enough, but does anyone know desktop apps that work with VJOURNAL?

    What’s your usecase for the journals? That might help direct the discussion.

    For work I use Outlook with caldavsynchronizer, but I’ve stepped away from those kind of Journals and now I’m tracking things in Logseq

    For time tracking for work I’m using other tools too.

      My use case is I want to write text and I want that text to be synced from my phone and laptop. I want to deploy the minimum number of services. I don’t care about any text editor features as long as I can write text and read it.

      I’ve already deployed Radicale and I’d rather not have to maintain anything else.

      I realize I can deploy something else just for notes, but I really don’t want to maintain something else.

    radicale can do cantacts as well btw. so that you can use the stock android contacts app. At least with DAVx5 on android.

    For Android, Davx5 plus JTX board, and you’re set. Just use the contacts, calendar, tasks and journals apps you feel comfortable with. I use Etar calendar, for example.

    I don’t think it’s a very well adopted extension on any platform. It kind…feels out of place if you think about it. I did see Davx5 supports it, but I’m literally not seeing anything else.

    I’m trying to think how it would be implemented in a simpler way than just using date entries and metadata mapping from an implementation standpoint, and I see no functional differences, so I can’t imagine developers really going out of their way to implement it when there’s already an existing and simpler method of essentially doing the same thing.

      Yeah, it definitely feels out of place.

      On the other hand… it is kinda nice that tasks and notes are offered in WebDAV because I don’t have to maintain yet another service for each of those.

      If I weren’t the one maintaining these instances, then sure I’d say launch one service for calendars, one for tasks, and one for notes.

      I have used todo.txt for, shit, over a decade now. Jesus. Anyway, I just sync files with whatever - in oelden days rsync, nowadays SyncThing. But I’ve occasionally speculated about syncing with VTODO instead.

      Whenever I start to think through it, I eventually come to the same conclusion: it seems out of place, and more fussy than just copying a file via SyncThing or even just WebDAV put-ting a file. I guess the value would be conflict resolution?

      If I have one criticism of SyncThing, it’s that there’s absolutely no facility for conflict resolution, even after all these years, there’s no way to configure a client to say, “if you get a conflict on a .txt file, try running ‘automerge’. If it exits with an error, leave it a conflict. If it exits with success, sync it resolved.” There are merge tools for a variety of file types, from txt to ODF to json. It’d be an almost trivial feature to add, and it’s frustrating that it’s still missing.

    I use exactly those you mention and the lack of journals on desktop is weird. Because of that I started implementing a notes app myself but never finished it.
