Yes. You can share any note or checklist with other people on your server, with view or edit access. Pins, labels, colors and reminders stay personal to each person, so a family member can pin the grocery list without it jumping to the top of your grid.
It isn’t live yet, though. Changes sync rather than stream. The Android app syncs every 30 seconds and whenever you open it, so a checked-off item shows up on the other phone within about half a minute. In the web app, changes from someone else show up when you refresh, reopen the note, or pull down on the list.
If you both edit at the same time:
- Checklists merge item by item. You can both tick things off or add items in the same list and nothing gets lost, which covers the usual shared shopping list case.
- For text notes, the last save wins, and the other version is kept in the note’s version history, so nothing is ever thrown away.
Live updates, where a tick or edit shows up on the other person’s screen within a second or two, are very doable, and I’d like to add them. If you open a feature request for it, it goes on the list and you’ll get a notification when it’s in: https://github.com/TraceApps/notetrace/issues/new?template=feature_request.yml
A couple of lines about how you’d use it (for example, two phones on one shopping list at the store) will help me with envisioning how this should work.
Glad you are liking it so far! Yes i have thought about adding Kanban support, but i am not sure if its the right fit to implement in the app. Will surely continue to think about and consider it for the future! I’ve been thinking about putting all my apps on F-Droid, so i will say coming soon!. With respect to the color… you can change it to literally whatever you want in Settings under Apperance, so you are not stuck to the purple if you prefer something else.
