`sync_changelog_to_fastlane.sh` has been printing "note: >500 chars — F-Droid may truncate this changelog in-client" for three releases, and every release since 0.2.0 has sailed past it: 1824, 696, 916 characters. A note nobody acts on is not a check. F-Droid truncates the in-client "What's New" box, so everything past the limit is written for nobody — the reader gets a sentence cut mid-word and no way to expand it. The limit is now a hard failure: the script exits non-zero, with a message naming the section to shorten, and `MAX_CHARS` is a variable so the bound lives in one place rather than being copied into the workflows. Enforced in two places, for two different failures: - `.forgejo/workflows/ci.yaml` runs it as an always-on guard beside the reproducible-release invariant, then checks `git status --porcelain` over the changelogs directory. That second half catches a CHANGELOG.md edit whose generated fastlane file was never committed — which until now degraded silently into the official F-Droid listing showing the *previous* version's notes, exactly as RELEASING.md step 3 warns. Porcelain rather than `git diff --exit-code`, so a brand-new file for a bumped versionCode counts as dirty instead of being missed as untracked. - `.gitea/workflows/release.yaml` gets the same call in the cheap `detect` gate. The release job already regenerated the file, but only at step 15 of 24 — after the build, the signing and the keystore setup. Failing in `detect` costs one bash invocation and publishes nothing.
Agendula
A modern Material 3 Expressive task app for Android.
Keeps your tasks on your device, or on top of a tasks provider you already use.
Open standards, no account required.
Agendula is the task-list sibling to Calendula.
Where Calendula is a pure front-end over Android's CalendarContract, Agendula
keeps its own store, designed around RFC 5545's VTODO — the same tasks DAVx5
(and SmoothSync, DecSync, …) sync out of your CalDAV server. It can also read and
write a tasks provider you already have, for anyone already syncing that way.
The name rhymes with its sibling on purpose: Agendula is agenda — Latin for
“things to be done” — given Calendula's -ula ending. Calendula keeps your days;
Agendula keeps your to-dos. (A Calendula flower head is botanically a cluster of
many small florets — so the two apps are florets of one bloom.)
Where your tasks live — your choice
| Where | Sync | Needs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| On your device (default) | Agendula's own database | none yet — CalDAV sync of our own is planned | nothing. No account, no permissions, no other app |
| In a provider you already use | OpenTasks or tasks.org | whatever syncs it for you — DAVx5 and friends | that app installed, and its read/write permission |
Agendula's own store is an ordinary app database — nothing is published to other apps, so there is no authority to clash over and no permission to grant. It coexists with OpenTasks rather than replacing it: installing one never breaks the other, and if you already sync through a provider, that keeps working exactly as it did.
Switching between the two moves nothing — each store keeps its own tasks — so Settings → Storage asks before it switches, and offers to copy a provider's tasks into Agendula's own store when you want to move over. The copy is taken once and the originals stay where they are; it is not an ongoing sync in either direction.
Recurring tasks are expanded per RFC 5545, and everything the schema does not model is round-tripped verbatim rather than dropped — so passing your tasks through Agendula does not quietly lose fields a server sent.
Your tasks are exportable as standard iCalendar .ics files at any time, because
data you can't take with you isn't really yours.
Status: backend complete, UI catching up. Storage, reads and writes, smart-list filtering, a self-scheduled reminder engine, and export are built and unit-tested. The Material 3 Expressive screens are being built on top, one at a time — the storage-mode picker and export screen are not there yet. See
docs/ROADMAP.mdfor status,docs/ARCHITECTURE.mdfor how it's built, anddocs/STORAGE-AND-SYNC.mdfor why storage works the way it does.
Sync sources (by design)
In external-provider mode Agendula works with anything that writes to that provider — DAVx5 (CalDAV), SmoothSync, CalDAV-Sync, DecSync CC, or any Android sync adapter — because it builds on the provider, not on any one sync app. Google Tasks / Microsoft To Do are out of scope by design (proprietary; they would mean owning a sync stack). Open standards — CalDAV / iCalendar / DecSync — are the lane.
Translations
Agendula ships in English so far, and would like not to. Translations are managed on a self-hosted Weblate, and partial ones are fine — an untranslated string simply falls back to English.
No coding needed: register on the Weblate server, pick (or request) a language, and translate the strings in your browser. You can also reach this link in the app from the top of Settings → App language.
