I searched quite a bit and wasn’t able to find a conclusive list of available third party apps that can sync with Nextcloud. So I thought I’d start one for folks who might be interested. Feel free to chime in with any you’ve used!
Notes
macOS:
Nextcloud Notes Client - looks exactly like Apple Notes, but syncs with NC and supports Markdown.
Linux:
Iotas - minimalist markdown notes app in the same vein as IA Writer.
Android:
Quillpad - Google Keep clone that supports Markdown. Fork of Quillnotes. There are some quirks with this one. For example, if you create a task list from NC WebUI version of Notes, the checkboxes will show up in Quillnotes, but you cannot check them off as complete. Has a promising roadmap.
Carnet - another Google Keep clone. This one has an app in the NC app store, so it has a web based counterpart unlike Quillpad. The Android app is weirdly slow to open. I’ll need to test this one more.
Tasks/ToDo
Android:
Tasks.org - excellent Task app. Supports subtasks, categories, reminders, recurring events. It can also sync with Google but ewwww.
Handwritten Notes:
All:
Saber - Cross platform notes app. Akin to Samsung notes. This one is rough in my experience so far. But it has potential and I will be following to watch how it updates.
2FA:
Android:
Aegis - excellent 2FA app. I just recently migrated out of Google and Microsoft’s versions and am very happy. To be honest though, I’m not exactly sure how the NC integration works on this one, but it is mentioned on their site:
If your cloud provider supports the Storage Access Framework of Android (like Nextcloud does), it can even create automatic backups to the cloud.
There are others I’ve tested, but not long enough to make any comments on. Les Pas being one of them. I’m happy with Immich, so didn’t give this one a fair shake.
For Aegis it means when you go to select a folder location once you have before installed and setup on the device it will show your nextcloud as a storage location on your phone you can set aegis to upload backups there automatically
Ah, ok. I’ll have to set that up. I currently have aegis backing up to my phone’s documents folder which Seafile is syncing with my server and 3 other clients. Sounds like a similar idea

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

Otp manager is a well integrated 2fa code app Many services like opnsense and others have backup features that integrate with nextcloud.
Memories photos is really good.
I did like Memories, but ultimately went with Immich so that I could access photos outside of Nextcloud.
I’m interested in the backup features you mentioned. Can you point me in the direction of something specific?
The two main ones that come to mind that I use are open sense and home assistant which both have add-ons to backup directly to next cloud
Antennapod via Gpoddersync
Technically, anything that syncs with WebDAV, CardDAV, or CalDAV syncs with Nextcloud, since Nextcloud has built in servers for these.
I’m adding AntennaPod for Podcast.
