Etesync is basically caldav/etc right? What are you syncing it to on your devices?

It’s a fully client-side encrypted key store, mainly used for calendars, contacts, tasks, and notes. It does have a cal/carddav bridge. I use task.org for tasks, EteNotes for notes, and the android connector for native support of calendars and contacts. In GNOME it works via evolution for syncing. I use the *dav bridge for some custom integrations (like HomeAssistant).

Thanks! I’m assuming you meant tasks.org? It looks interesting, I’ll give it a try. I knew etesync could be used to sync calendar/contacts, but didn’t really think about tasks and notes too.

Etenotes looks like it might be too simple for me, but I have been looking for a new task/todo list.

I also saw etebase is its own thing, but it looks pretty interesting too and I’ll keep it in mind for future projects.

Yes tasks.org. EteBase is the server backend for etesync (the client side). EteNotes is one integration, but others are possible too!
