Aware of Raindrop, but not a fan of freemium models & the data being stored primarily in the cloud. Many alternatives I've found are self-hosted, however if possible I'd prefer a desktop app with data stored locally.

Thanks in advance!

Hello all. I'm looking for (a) program(s) to manage & document things in life. Mainly these features are what I need:

• Diary, random notes(like a wiki?) with version control
• TODO list, auto added to diary at that time period
• Ability to attach images and text files to those diary, notes
• Calendar with schedule synced with TODO
• Easy backup, preferably in plaintext or simple db
• Text search

Currently I'm using SeaMonkey and my phone(android) to manage calendar (so two separated ones), a paper note to write diaries and use dokuwiki for random notes. This setup is too complicated and isn't productive at all.

I do think my requirements are kinda abstract, and there most likely isn't a single program that can do all this. Although basic I'm a novice FreeBSD & Emacs+evil user so *nix-only or text-based utilities are okay. I'm not aware of any program that meets these needs, is there anything that resembles what I'm thinking? Thanks!

I have many ebooks I have from scouring the Internet in two formats: epub and PDF. I want something server like that lets me drop read them from any device on my local network and remembers where I left the book on device and let's me continue on another. I want the client app to have android and Linux support while the server should run on linux. Is there anything out there? Bonus points if it autographs metadata from the internet and organises them by topics, authors, ddc etc.

TLDR: An ebook library running on a Linux server with Android and Linux client software.

I am looking for a note talking app to keep work notes in. My requirements are:

• Allow hierarchical organization of notes (like project1, project1/build, project1/configure) and easy to navigate to different notes.
• Allow basic formatting (heading, code block).
• Run locally
• (Optionally) Have a table of contents for quick navigation

Obsidian looked promising and had the additional benefit of storing notes in Markdown format for easy export. Unfortunately, I would need to buy a commercial license in order to store work-related information.

Not really from a privacy concern, that's simply a bonus, more of a reliability/convenience interest. Even if internet/mobile internet is out for some reason, being able to easily text across local network would be nice.

For Windows/Android mainly, but crossplatform tools that include those are great too!

I have 30 pictures of 6 months of weight loss pics. In all of them I'm standing in the same background in the same position. I'm willing to do a little bit of *cutting out" backgrounds and drawing nodes if I need to.

I don't have the money for expensive software, so I'm hoping for something free or open source, even if it means I have to do extra work.

PDFs are ubiquitous in life, and choosing the right PDF reader for your phone can minimize the frustration of reading, signing, editing, and sharing these documents. While PDFs can be opened and read in any browser, a dedicated app has all the necessary functionality to make managing these documents a breeze.

We've collected the best PDF readers for Android together so you can find one that best fits your needs. Many of these are also compatible with our top Chromebooks for every budget so that you can edit your PDFs from your laptop. If you need to turn a paper document into a PDF file, here's how to clearly scan your documents on your Android device.

I don't mind cloud solutions that I need to pay as long as it's fair and the software is worth it. Having that said, I also don't mind one that simply exposes the stream and I need to setup my router to access it remotely.

Portable as in software you can download and toss on a flash/thumb drive and use on other PCs.

The goal: See upcoming events from various NYC venues in one place, possibly my Google Calendar

The problem: Bars and venues all use different sites and apps to manage their event calendars, forcing me to check each venue's website individually. It sucks!

My best guess at a solution: Find a way to convert the venue's websites/calendars to RSS, then use IFTTT to convert the RSS feeds to Google Calendar entries.

1. Is that the correct solution?
2. Does anyone know the best way to convert these sites to RSS?

Here are the calendars that I need to convert:

• Barbes

• Rockwood

• Union Hall

• The Skint This one actually has RSS, but it combines multiple events into each RSS entry

• Starr Bar

• Jalopy Theatre

• Art Cards

• Art Net

• NY Art World

And one newsletter:

• Nonsense NYC

These venues already use Google Calendar, so I've successfully imported them:

• House of Yes

• Union Docs

• Branded Saloon

• Sid Gold's Request Room

Thank you Software Options!

I like todo lists, and I like time blocking so I can schedule out specific hours to work on each task. However I have yet to find an app that combines these cleanly.

Features I am looking for:

• Todo list that allows nested lists, and adding details to each item (due date, more detailed instructions, etc.)
• Seamless integration with a calendar, so I can assign a given todo item to a date and time
• Adjustable time durations. Not every task is exactly 1 hour.
• Accessible and syncable across PC and Android,
• Freeee....?

Nice to have:

• Sync with Google Calendar/Tasks
• Color-coding tasks

Windows Live Gallery had a great Photo Fuse feature that allowed you to select multiple similar photos and be able to select which faces from each photo would be used in the final composite image. This was great for group photos where in every photo someone isn’t looking at the camera or blinking etc, as you can combine them all and select all the faces that are looking in the right direction. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-Zy4mLkEL4

Unfortunately, Windows Live Gallery is now unsupported and unavailable for download. Is there any software that has similar functionality (offline/online)? Preferably on Android so I can directly clean up my picture collection as I take the photos.

I know I could do this manually in something like photoshop, but that's not what I'm looking for.

I'm interested in recommendations for apps to share ideas, links, screenshots, text,... with my wife.

Use cases: sharing possible vacation spots, things we need to buy for our kid, interesting articles about specific topics, useful links regarding a project we're both working on and so on.

Currently it's all cluttered in text messages.

I've looked into

• Nextcloud Deck
• Trello (my current top pick)
• ClickUp
• Notion

and a few others but most of these tools are geared towards project management while I'm looking for something more versatile/"creative".

Here is what I need:

• Android and Windows Client or preferably Webapp
• Easy sharing from Android and browser
• Possibility to create different workspaces/topics/channels
• Decent and simple UI
• FOSS is a plus
• Doesn't have to bee free
• Not selfhosted

Thanks everybody!

I'm looking for an alternative to Clipboard History since it has a limit on the amount of text it can store (11kb per text copied)

It has an ignore list option (to prevent storing passwords, credit card info, etc.), and I couldn't find that in any other program (at least not in their description/features lists)

I'd also like it to have an option to auto-clear the history on exit but this is optional.

Thank you in advance :)

I didn't know whether it would be best to post in a windows, open source, or software community for this - but this seems best. If not, please redirect me and I will be on my way :)

I'm on the hunt for some kind of windows software (or website is fine) that allows me to craft a guide. I have been using https://www.getpaint.net/ but it's just so tedious and meticulous to align everything perfectly (which you can see if you look at my example below). I would like the software to allow me to:

• Add/edit text, images, resize images
• Move around content (text/images)
• Color sections
• Create shapes/drawings (ideally with color customization like borders & thickness levels) - including lines and other shapes like arrows, circles, etc
• Dividers between sections (see image for an example)
• Modify background color
• Modify text font (type, size, color)
• Text formatting (bullets, numbers) though I can also just manually write 1. 2. etc, or draw a circle shape if needed
• ADDED: the ability to adjust canvas size / full dimensions (see how in the example below its a vertical guide. I also would want to be able to add additional space if it gets cramped, so also the ability to select multiple elements and move together
• ADDED: the ability to save the project as a PNG, I'm sure I could probably just screenshot with snipping tool but that isn't super ideal
• ADDED: having elements snap to keep everything aligned easily (or any other way to keep things aligned, rather than what I've had to do with pain.net which is just manually dragging & eyeballing the alignment)

This is specifically for video games but could honestly apply for anything that could have a cheat sheet or a guide

Here is an example for a Lost Ark raid - anything that can make this is what I'm looking for

I am willing to pay a one time fee for a product if it's a a price affordable enough for me, otherwise I'm looking for something possibly FOSS. I'm hoping there's something out there better for this than paint.net , but there might not be. I appreciate any suggestions in advance!

I've recently wanted a more programmable one, as my work recently broke the shared calendar (but haven't broke the rss feed for it, yet!). Suggestions?

Hi, I'm looking for an app in which you can have shared timers with other users across both iOS and Android. A website could also work, especially if it's a pwa.

Hi, I'm looking for a time sheet tracking software on either linux or android that can track data like what I was working on and what times I worked on it. Preferably foss.

Example: worked on debugging x from hh:mm to hh:mm on yyyy-mm-dd and hh:mm to hh:mm on yyyy-mm-dd.

I don't care about the exact format, it just needs to contain all the information in the example.

Thanks

For me its Everything, makes finding files extremely fast and easier than with Windows Explorer

Thank you u/Manifish_Destiny for telling me

Does it even exists?

If posible a FOSS one

I use MiXplorer because of its features although it is slow because it doesnt cache or index the files
