I’ve been continuing to rely on
- Lightning calendars for Thunderbird
- Reminders are locally set in Thunderbird
- CalDAV from Nextcloud Calendar
- Not really sure of how to handle reminders in Calendar itself
- Fossify Calendar for Android, from F-droid
- Supports adding a reminder to a CalDAV event and to set an event as recurring
- Tasks oscillate between Nextcloud Tasks, Deck and Kanboard
- Kanboard is complex, but far better featured than Tasks or Deck, so I prefer it. Still struggling managing too many tasks on Kanboard because of the interface, but once an item is added it works well.
- Markdown, is a way I find myself adding tasks using
- [ ]syntax, but these are not visible in Thunderbird, etc. so not totally helpful. :(
Thunderbird integrates into Knotifications in KDE and does give me nice, annoying alarms. Would love to explore other solutions, but this one has been okay for the last years. Wondering if this longtime setup could be refined or replaced. Cheers, and thanks for any suggestions!
I wonder if it is possible to get the calendar in Thunderbird to take appointments from my Android phone’s calendar.
Depends on how you are syncing your calendars between devices afaik
I use Todoist for tasks/reminders. Works great on Linux for me.
Thanks, I’ll look into it
Android phone.
Just whatever is included?
Basically. Email is K9, reminders, notes, tasks, events and calendar is all Google. I don’t really use much of it, just very basic stuff.
Gave up on other people’s solutions and wrote a giant shell script that does exactly what I want it to do. Calendar, tasks, reminders, everything. This is the promise of free computing! (Well, you did ask.)
Does you script handle syncing between devices?
Absolutely. A mix of
sshfs,rsync,unison. Only standard core utilities.
selfhosted radicale Tasks.org on Android Thunderbird on Computer
I mostly use my phone, Tasks is great! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tasks
Thanks
Thanks
I think this might be more of a selfhosting question, so maybe better for that sub.
I use Proton for business since it runs on everything. Zero issues.
I’m doing this off mostly hosted, so was hoping there are tools I’ve missing out on. Sounds like others here are using the same tools as me. 🤷
I use Trello to organize my life, because every other solutions I’ve tried aren’t enough to keep up in the long run, unfortunately. I even considered developing an open-source clone of it, but never dive into doing it (yet).
