FAQ
Q: How does jtx Board differ from traditional note‑taking or task apps?
A: Unlike most commercial tools that lock your data behind proprietary formats, jtx Board stores everything as plain‑text iCalendar components (VJournal for notes and VTodo for tasks). This means your information can be read, edited, or migrated with any calendar‑aware software, giving you true vendor independence.
Q: Can I still use my favorite calendar or reminder apps alongside jtx Board?
A: Absolutely. Because jtx Board adheres to the RFC‑5545 iCalendar specification, any app that supports iCal files or CalDAV can import or sync the same data. You can keep a personal CalDAV server for tasks while viewing a separate calendar for events, and everything will stay in sync without duplication.
Q: How does the synchronization process work?
A: jtx Board does not contain its own sync engine; instead it pairs with DAVx5 (or any CalDAV client) to push and pull .ics files to a CalDAV server of your choice. The sync happens over standard HTTPS, and you control the frequency and direction (one‑way or two‑way) from within DAVx5’s settings.
