App Manager vs jtx Board journals|notes|tasks
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
App Manager
App Manager began by merging the features of App_packages Info (formerly Application Info), ClassyShark3xodus, Activity Launcher and Watt into a single app with material design and dark mode to give a modern look and feel. General features • Fully reproducible, copylefted libre software (GPLv3+) • Material 3 with dynamic colours • Display as much information as possible in the main page • List activities, broadcast receivers, services, providers, app ops, permissions, signatures, shared libraries, etc. of an application • Launch activities and services • Create shortcuts of activities • Intercept activities • Scan for trackers and libraries in apps and list (all or only) tracking classes (and their code dump) • View/save the manifest of an app • Display app usage, data usage (mobile and Wi-Fi), and app storage info (requires “Usage Access” permission) • Install/uninstall APK files (including APKS, APKM and XAPK with OBB files) • Share APK files • Back up/restore APK files • Batch operations • Single-click operations • Logcat viewer, manager and exporter • Profiles • Debloater • Code editor • File manager • Simple terminal emulator • Open an app in Aurora Store or in your favourite F-Droid client • Sign APK files with custom signatures before installing • Backup encryption: OpenPGP via OpenKeychain, RSA, ECC (hybrid encryption with AES) and AES. • Track foreground UI components Root/ADB-only features • Revoke runtime (AKA dangerous) and development permissions • Change the mode of an app op • Display/kill/force-stop running apps or processes • Clear app data or app cache • View/change net policy • Control battery optimization • Freeze/unfreeze apps Root-only features • Block any activities, broadcast receivers, services, or providers of an app with native import/export as well as Watt and Blocker import support • View/edit/delete shared preferences of any app • Back up/restore apps with data, rules and extras (such as permissions, battery optimization, SSAID, etc.) • View system configurations including blacklisted or whitelisted apps, permissions, etc. • View/change SSAID. …and many more! This single app combines the features of 5 or 6 apps any tech-savvy person needs! See the instructions page within the app for more information on how to use the app.
jtx Board journals|notes|tasks
Elevate the power of the iCalendar standard to the next level, use the potential of the combination of journals (VJournal), notes (VJournal) and tasks (VTodo) out of one app and use DAVx5 to synchronize your entries with a CalDAV-server of your choice! iCal standard compliant Using the iCal standard ensures compatibility and interoparability with other apps and services independent of a dedicated provider or infrastructure. Journals and Notes are compliant to the definition of the VJOURNAL component, Tasks are compliant to the VTODO component. Future features will also include import and export functionalities to and from .ics files :-) Combine journals, notes & tasks Instead of using separate apps for journals, notes & tasks you can use them out of one hand, combine and link them to each other, e.g. create meeting minutes and link your tasks to them. Sync with DAVx5 Synchronize your entries with any compatible CalDAV server by using DAVx5. By using DAVx5 you are free to choose your preferred provider for CalDAV, you can even use your local server to store and synchronize your data. Note: DAVx5 is an independent app and must be acquired separately. Open Source Your data can contain private and sensitive data by their nature. We believe that individuals and companies should be able to be in full control of their own data. This means the freedom to choose where and how the data are stored, and freedom in choice of software. That is why we chose DAVx5 as a Sync Adapter to synchronise your data between your phone and any compatible CalDAV-server. The source code for jtx Board is publically available - find out more on https://jtx.techbee.at ! What does VJournal and VTodo mean? VJournal and VTodo are calendar components defined in the international standard RFC-5545, the Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Specification (iCalendar), see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5545 . This standard also defines the VEvent component, which is the standard definition for calendar event entries. jtx Board is using the VJournal component according to this iCalendar standard for journal entries and tasks. VJournals can have a defined start date, but they cannot have a duration or an end date. VJournals with a defined start date are considered journals entries in jtx Board, VJournals without start date are interpreted as notes. The VTodo component as defined in the iCalendar standard defines the technical specification of tasks, which can have a scheduled start, due and completed date as well as a progress and a completed status (amongst others). The VEvent definition is widely used, the VTodo component also found some implementations in Apps, but the VJournal component remained in the dark almost not being implemented at all by other apps and services. With jtx Board we would like to revive the usage of this standard and empower it with the possibilities to link and combine VTodos with VJournals - and in the future also VEvents! :-) Find out more on https://jtx.techbee.at
