todo.txt-cli VS org-caldav

FSNotes for macOS and iOS is one I used for a little while.

https://fsnot.es/

todo.txt is another thing that comes to mind.

http://todotxt.org/

And of course pretty much all of *nix.

Since at least 2012 I've also been using a text file format from http://todotxt.org/ and more recently I wrote a program that takes a crontab-like list to pre-generate entries on a daily, by-day-name (every Sunday for example), and I also pull in a list of holidays from gov.uk, so they are also populated.

It's a web app implementing the todo.txt format (see http://todotxt.org/). It's an exercise to learn frontend currently, I doubt I could successfully monetize it. Would appreciate any feedback!

That format is really similar to todo.txt format, worth taking a look at http://todotxt.org/ (which in turn has application links).

For todo and schedule I use todo.txt (http://todotxt.org/) a plain file managed by scripts which build agenda and plumber to keep track of unique keys.

The ToDo.Txt format makes it easy to use across devices/software, but this is really limited to ToDos.

Here’s the todo.sh features for those interested. There are several addons for it as well: https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt-cli

Good idea, something similar to todotxt.org. But no 1) iPhone app 2) you need to sigh up and keep your notes at developers servers 3) subscriptions?! come on!

There are a couple different routes you can go down. If your goal is to learn CLI stuff, it's hard to beat using shell-scripting for a simple app like a todo manager. Storing them in a plain-text file, a little sed/grep/awk and you're well on your way. For inspiration & hints, you might check out https://todotxt.org However, you can rapidly hit performance issues and limitations on available tooling if you stick to just POSIX tools.

For CalDAV there is org-caldav or khalel. For CardDAV there is khalel. In my experience, though, using these packages is kind of involved and not very satisfying.

- Org-Caldav

PS: I've asked a similar question before and I know of org-caldav, which still requires a CalDAV proxy and org-gcal, which only works for Google.

Yeah, thanks for mentioning this - that was indeed my plan. I’m using org-caldav successfully on one machine, but I’m finding it hard to run across multiple machines. https://github.com/dengste/org-caldav/issues/270

org-caldav for calendar sync

I have a few files that are specifically reserved just for calendar/todo syncs. Then I set them up with org-caldav.

Random example of someone dealing with it... :

I use org-caldav with emacs-calfw.

I have Org-Caldav partially working with davmail and Office365. (Yes my employer hates me and I have to use Outlook!) In Thunderbird items I create on the phone appear in Org-Mode. But for Org-Caldav items I create on the phone do not appear. Items created in Emacs Org-Capture in the todo.org file do appear in Outlook (and Thunderbird).
