Linux Note-taking app that supports CalDAV

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 ?

I hope they really do it. I'd love notes in Thunderbird.

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.

I got this last year and it has traveled up and down the East Coast, as well to the South West. Gone by plane and car. I have used it with my Surface laptop running Windows for work, my personal Framework 13 running Fedora Linux, and my Nintendo switch.

Is it great? I don't know, but it works.

I'm in the same boat.

Past: My notes are all over the place. Some are in paper notebooks, on scraps of paper, index cards. Some are plain text files, some are markdown; dumped into random folders (had some in my yyyy/mm/dd folders for my journaling, some in project folders) some are on a wiki, some in redmine, some in openproject. I've tried different bug tracking apps, but as mentioned, they (like project management apps) are too burdensome.

Current: For now I am using Joplin for my active notes (and slowly migrating historical notes as I have energy). I have a top level notebook for my homelab, then a subnotebook broken down by subject (infrastructure, app/service, hardware), then individual pages for each specific item (host os setup, vpn, application, etc). On those individual pages, I have it sectioned out; Goal, Research notes, Actions taken, results.

  • Personal Notes
  • Journal
  • Inbox
  • Homelab
    • Infrastructure
      • Host OS
      • VPN
      • NFS
    • Services
      • Radicale
      • Audiobookshelf
      • etc
    • Hardware
      • node 1
      • node 2
      • node 3
      • router

Future step: Once I have something figured out and ready for "prod", I will be wiping it out and redoing it all through ansible. I'll take that playbook and a clean markdown doc with the important details and put them in git. That way I can rebuild it later if there is a tragedy.

Joplin has a plug-in that can grab todos and reveal them all in one spot. You can use tags with it as well. Although I believe it only works on desktop? I haven't tried on phone/tablet. https://github.com/CalebJohn/joplin-inline-todo#readme
