Errands vs jtx Board

Errands

• GNOME users who want a small, native task list
• Nextcloud Tasks users who want a Linux desktop client
• People who prefer a short feature list to a full planner

jtx Board

• Android users who sync tasks with their own CalDAV server
• Nextcloud, Fastmail or Radicale users who want journals too
• Keeping meeting minutes and their follow-up tasks together

Errands

• Linux only: the Flatpak on Flathub is the only version the developer supports, with no Windows, macOS or web release.
• For sync, the README says only Nextcloud is known to work well and other CalDAV providers may not work.
• The latest release, 46.2.10, is dated December 22, 2025.
• The GNOME Apps page lists a single maintainer, and donations are accepted in cryptocurrency only.

jtx Board

• Android only: the vendor's terms say the app is currently available on Android, and no iOS, desktop or web version is listed.
• Sync needs the separate DAVx5 app and a server that accepts VJOURNAL; the compatibility list marks iCloud, Posteo, Ionos and Infomaniak as not supporting it.
• In the Google Play version, editing entries in remote collections is part of the paid Pro upgrade.
• Google Play lists in-app purchases at $0.99 to $3.49 per item without naming them, so the exact Pro price is not shown; the app's code treats Pro as a one-time purchase.

Errands

Multiple task lists

The app supports multiple task lists, so separate areas of work can each have a list of their own.

Tasks and sub-tasks

Tasks and their sub-tasks can be added, edited, removed and marked as completed.

Accent color for each task

Each task can be given its own accent color.

Nextcloud and CalDAV sync

Tasks sync through the python-caldav library with Nextcloud Tasks and other CalDAV providers. The README says only Nextcloud is supported and known to work well.

Drag and drop and .ics import

The app supports drag and drop, and tasks can be brought in by importing .ics files.

jtx Board

Journals, notes and tasks in one app

Journals hold dated entries such as meeting minutes or a diary, notes hold memos without a date, and tasks carry due dates, subtasks and a progress value.

Linked entries

Tasks can be attached to a journal or a note, and any entry can take a comment or an audio comment, so follow-ups stay with the minutes they came from.

iCalendar standard format

Journals and notes are stored as VJOURNAL components and tasks as VTODO components under RFC 5545, so other apps and servers that follow the standard can read them.

CalDAV sync through DAVx5

The separate DAVx5 app syncs entries with a CalDAV server the user picks, including a self-run one. Infomaniak's kSync, a fork of DAVx5, also works.

Local storage and offline use

Entries are stored on the device and the app works without an internet connection; syncing is optional.

Recurrence, alarms and locations

Entries can recur daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, raise alarm notifications and carry a map location. Geofence notifications are in the Google Play version only.
