# jtx Board

**jtx Board** is a task management application for Android recommended by the URZ (and specifically the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]]) for synchronizing tasks and "To-Do" lists from the university Groupware service.

## Integration and Relationship with DAVx5
jtx Board is developed in cooperation with [[davx5]]. The two applications serve distinct roles in the synchronization process:
- **[[davx5]]**: Handles the synchronization bridge and protocol communication.
- **jtx Board**: Provides the user interface and management for the synchronized tasks, as DAVx5 does not provide a task UI.

## Comparison with Alternatives
The URZ recommends jtx Board over other options based on the following comparisons:

- **Tasks.org**: jtx Board is recommended because it remains functional in its free version, unlike Tasks.org.
- **OpenTasks**: jtx Board is preferred because OpenTasks is no longer being developed.

According to the newly generated version, jtx Board is recommended over Tasks.org and OpenTasks because its free version is fully functional for university needs and it is actively maintained.
