I've been continuing to rely on

  • Lightning calendars for Thunderbird
    • Reminders are locally set in Thunderbird
  • CalDAV from Nextcloud Calendar
    • Not really sure of how to handle reminders in Calendar itself
  • Fossify Calendar for Android, from F-droid
    • Supports adding a reminder to a CalDAV event and to set an event as recurring
  • Tasks oscillate between Nextcloud Tasks, Deck and Kanboard
    • Kanboard is complex, but far better featured than Tasks or Deck, so I prefer it. Still struggling managing too many tasks on Kanboard because of the interface, but once an item is added it works well.
  • Markdown, is a way I find myself adding tasks using - [ ] syntax, but these are not visible in Thunderbird, etc. so not totally helpful. :(

Thunderbird integrates into Knotifications in KDE and does give me nice, annoying alarms. Would love to explore other solutions, but this one has been okay for the last years. Wondering if this longtime setup could be refined or replaced. Cheers, and thanks for any suggestions!

The UI is passable at best, but it has all the features I need and it works bugfree.

I tried merkuro before and while it is much prettier I had lots of strange issues and crashes with it.

But I recommend trying it out for yourself and seeing what works for you.


ps: before radicale, I had nextcloud on a rpi but after an automatic plugin update it died and I could not fix it. So I've replicated the features I need among alternatives: radicale, sftpgo, syncthing and navidrome.
