I am the maintainer of Super Productivity, a free open source task manager and time tracker for desktop, web, and mobile.

It is available on Linux via Flatpak, Snap, AppImage, AUR, and other package formats. It works offline by default, has no account requirement, no telemetry, and supports optional sync via WebDAV, Dropbox, or Super Sync.

v18.5.0 just shipped with:

• Reworked Focus Mode
• Scheduler view improvements with reference calendar and work-log events
• Week view scaling in the schedule view
• Estimated time in iCal/ICS planner entries
• Project sections for structuring larger task lists
• User-installable plain-CSS themes and new theme polish
• Ctrl+Enter and Escape task shortcuts
• UI/readability fixes and translation updates

If you use task/time-tracking apps on Linux, I would be especially interested in what package format and desktop workflow you prefer.

I've been building Screenix, a screen recorder for Linux with auto-zoom and cursor tracking (basically Screen Studio but native Linux)

Last week two Odoo users independently reached out, their team mostly uses Mac + Screen Studio, but two devs are on Linux and had nothing comparable, they asked for mask/blur/highlight zones to redact sensitive data in their recordings

so I shipped it within hours, they came back with more feedback: zoom options and speed controls and those already existed but weren't discoverable enough, so I fixed the UX and sent a demo

That turnaround is the best part of solo dev, someone tells you what they need and you ship it the same day

If you're on Linux and miss Screen Studio-level recordings, Screenix has a 7-day trial with full exports: https://screenix.studio

Happy to answer questions or take feature requests here!

Note-taking, To-Do-App with CalDav Sync?

hello everyone, does anyone know a note-taking tool that allows you to create tasks in the notes, but then manage them in a separate list or manage them like other to-do apps (without having to search for the tasks in the respective notes)?

if then these can also be scheduled in a calendar and the whole thing can be synced via CalDAV. that would be exactly what I’m looking for and absolutely perfect.

The most similar thing I found is Planify, but it’s not as well suited for notes.
