Hi, does anybody know any notetaking app which supports sync with caldav server ? I am self-hosting a Radicale server which on android with DAVx5 client and jtx Board app works pretty well! I have searched on web but haven’t found any desktop alternative to jtxBoard yet which supports this protocol. Anybody using this setup ?
It’s not CalDAV, but Joplin supports syncing with WebDAV and works great with Nextcloud (or any WebDAV server, really).
Nextcloud is a love it / hate it kind of thing. Since you’re not already running it, I assume you don’t want to (fwiw, it also does Cal- and CardDAV). Filerun used to be the go-to alternative, but it sold out and is all paid now. I’m not sure what took its place, but at the very least you should be able to setup a basic WebDAV server using just Apache.
The only thing I don’t like about Joplin is it doesn’t have a web app (at least, not as of the last time I checked).
There was another note-taking app I was thinking of and about to suggest, but it syncs over IMAP.
Umm. Definitely it’s in my to-do list. But for now I just wish Joplin had some caldav features in it :(
Here’s a decent guide to setting up WebDAV with Apache if you’re interested: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-webdav-access-with-apache-on-ubuntu-20-04
You may need to do some tricks in your reverse proxy to get it to coexist with Radicale under the same domain, but it’s doable. Certainly a lot more lightweight than running Nextcloud just for a webdav service.
Thank you. Will check.
Don’t leave us hanging, what is this mystical notes app that syncs over imap?

I was thinking a desktop app. I’ve played with imapnotes3 and jtxboard.
+1 for Joplin. Works really great and has some good plugins if you need to extend it.
