It’s not you, its… CalDav?įrom what I can tell one of the big sticking points in this story is CalDav I think. I can’t even see that I attached something in from the web UI which means I can’t quickly paste files from my PC into a task for review on the go later (or vice versa). Within Nextcloud you can add a description to a task, so I suppose I could manually thread my comments/discussion within the description box but I really like the idea of having a timeline so that I can see how my thinking about a particular thing evolves over time.Īs far as I can tell Nextcloud Tasks doesn’t support attachments at all.

If I mark a repeating task as complete in Nextcloud it kind of just goes away forever (presumably because the Nextcloud Tasks interface doesn’t really support repeating tasks as per above)Īgain this is something that Tasks.Org supports really well as a client but that does not work in the Nextcloud web UI.

I can’t find a way to create a new repeating task from Nextcloud so I had to set them up from my phone even if I’m sat at my desk looking at my Nextcloud dashboard which is kind of frustrating.

Whilst Tasks.Org does support this, support for repeating tasks in Nextcloud is very limited: I can go down my todo list a few times a day, systematically ticking things off and feel confident that I remembered everything. One of my favourite Todoist use cases is the ability to add repeating tasks. I couldn’t find any other actively maintained, todo list apps that will happily run on Ubuntu 22.04 and that have interoperability with CalDav.

I have read good things about Kalendar but I couldn’t get it to build or run in Ubuntu 22.04 even after lots of hassle and in the end I gave up.

Evolution - will happily report that it’s connected to Nextcloud and that it can see my calendars but fails to actually load any tasks.

Thunderbird Lightning/Calendar - quite a retro/00s UX with some strange and inconsistent behaviours that left me feeling that I couldn’t trust it.

Planner but it struggled to load and sync tasks from Nextcloud.

However, I can’t find an equivalent desktop client that offers the same smooth UX anywhere. Essentially, Tasks.Org is a really nice app with a great UX that is quite similar to todoist. This is the biggest and broadest problem that kind of leads to the issues below.

In summary, Tasks.Org is great but the poor desktop experience meant that many of my use cases that involve moving between desktop and moble were negatively impacted. The idea was to see if I could switch my todo list to a self-hosted solution and just because it’s been a while since I played around in this space.Īfter a week I have decided to stick with Todoist. This week I have been playing with swapping Todoist with Tasks.Org on android and syncing it with Nextcloud Tasks via CalDav.
