What OSS tools do you use for personal knowledge & task management? (lemmy.ml)

I've been looking into all sorts of them recently: logseq, appflowy, vikunja, etc. What tools do you use? Why? What problems did you run into with the previous set of tools you used for this job?

Right now I'm primarily interested in finding a "zero-knowledge" (cloud provider doesn't have access to my data) system for task management. Needs to be able to have recurring tasks and tasks organized in some interesting/useful ways (by projects/labels/something, maybe a kanban and table view). Deadlines and time tracking/planning interesting but not required.

Logseq, kept up to date on all my devices with Syncthing

I've never found a use for any of this. I only utilise a calendar. How complicated are your people's lives?

For me one of the most flexible and mature way to knowledge base, tasks and notes is an org-mode.

I have two main workflows. The first one is task management. I have a lot of recurring tasks with tags, deadlines, schedules, etc. All of them are living in org-files in my Nextcloud. On Android I'm using orgzly-reviwed for sync via WebDAV, on my work I'm using organice (via WebDAV) as a "web-version" and also I'm editing my notes in emacs on my laptop (but actually any text editor could be used).

The second one is a knowledge base. I'm using org-roam locally (and with a localhost web server, built in into emacs) and orgnote for Android/Web + synchronization. My knowledge base is Zettelkasten-based.

Orgnote provide a way to encrypt all notes by your own key/password. With orgzly I'm relying on Nextcloud encryption.

Logseq has Org Mode...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

It has org mode, but the links in logseq aren't compatible with org-roam links, so either you use custom elisp to make logseq links into emacs compatible links and can't follow links in logseq, or make emacs notes logseq compatible and can't follow links in emacs.

Also, iirc logseq is planning to drop org mode support when they launch their database update, either that or have it available but not updated anymore.
