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.
There seems to be a request to add this to the new Thunderbird CaldDAV features: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/support-vjournal-in-thunderbird/idi-p/46295
Yes. I use thunderbird for all the other caldav features. So being able to use the app for notes will be the best thing.
KDE’s KOrganizer supports journal entries
But it’s not what I want. KOrganizer’s is a full fledged journal with a date, whereas I need a simple note taking app without a date.
Which OS?
Linux
Maybe it’s not what you want to hear, but I was looking these types of apps, too, some time ago.
Then I noticed that most of the apps are useless for me and found an interesting type of apps that implement a “second brain”. There are a few of them, but I chose Logseq.
