Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have horrible ADHD and need such a thing.

Many tasks have a countdown, and I would like to:

  • on Android have a widget on the homescreen displaying the task and a countdown
  • sync it witg DavX5 to my mail provider and then to Thunderbird
  • easy interface, modern etc

Do you know the best app for that? Dont really want to try every app again, even though I did that (Simple Calendar is the best calendar!)

I am posting this here because the community is damn huge.


I tried ProgressBars and it is okay, but widget placement requires a new event (no no existing, weird workflow) and it doesnt support CalDav

I use Tasks.org on Android which does sync with DavX⁵.

There is no "countdown" but it shows due dates in he widget and has notifications.

Errands app (gtk) has caldav support for tasks.

It’s all Electron though, so the Android widget sucks (won’t update way too often). But otherwise should be a perfect fit for you.

It just means it isn’t built using technologies native to Android, but it will run on every Android phone. I can’t speak of the performance of the newest releases, I use an iPhone now. YMMV.

I use Vikunja, but you have to self host it, it's not an app you can just start on your PC
