This prevents that my everyday bookmark list gets too full in the nc bookmark app on android.įor everyday bookmarks the nc boomark app is useful as long as there are max 15 -20 tags. Reason: there is still no way to organize bookmarks in a kind of folder system (only tags). I also use this for some bookmarks (hobby) that I don’t need everyday but that I want to save. The search function in opentask is basic but sufficient to search through all notes. This way I can set individual remainders even for notes (or none) and if I go shopping I can open the corresponding shopping list = task list (IKEA, hardware store,…) with a checklist. Since one of the recent opentask updates there is also the possibility to add subtasks like a checklist. If I need to see only certain subtasks / notes I open the app. Since I have different colours for the calenders I can immediately see where a task / note belongs to, the most recent is on top of the list. I can use the widget from opentask app to put my list on the homescreen. Then I go to the Nextcloud database (use phpmyadmin), table oc_calendars, column components, here I remove “VEVENT,” so that only VTODO is left (this prevents the calendar from showing as a calendar, it’s only a task list then).Įither in caldav app or in the database (column calendarcolor) I set the color. I use calDAV / cardDAV app for synchronisation and make calenders for subgroups of my tasks, eg There we have it! We can now enjoy all of our self hosted Nextcloud instance in our phone. There are open source apps for all those on F-Droid.

We probably will install other Nextcloud Apps in our server, such as Nextcloud News, Notes, or Bookmarks. In any case, your Nextcloud calendars should now show in your Calendar app. In my case, I wasn’t very fond of the default Calendar that comes with LineageOS, so I recommend Etar, which is available in F-Droid. I recommend that you use the widget ? Install Etar (optional) Your tasks will automatically appear as available in OpenTasks. You can install it from F-Droid at any moment, but make sure you install it after you have connected DAVdroid to your cloud. Install OpenTasksĭAVdroid will suggest that you install OpenTasks.

This is a great app store that only contains FOSS software ( Free and Open Source ). Basic procedure Install F-Droidįirst of all, if you haven’t yet, install F-Droid. When it comes to Android, it is the Nextcloud sync client that talks WebDAV with the server, whereas DAVdroid talks CalDAV and CardDAV for tasks, contacts and calendars. The Nextcloud desktop synchronization client also talks WebDAV with the server, whereas we usually resort to something like Thunderbird to sync calendars and tasks. Nextcloud is based on the combination of SabreDAV to support these technologies at the server backend, combined with a javascript WebDAV/CalDAV/CardDAV frontend for the web interface.
