It seems that this doesn’t work as expected. Please see my new post from today. I have found also the following issue https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3107. According to this, a monotonic timer doesn’t survive a reboot or power off. Please correct me, if I’m wrong.

If I understand this correctly, only a onCalendar type can be used here. That’s a little bit annoying, but as of yet, I haven’t found a way around this.

Sorry, i have to ask again. I actually thought I had solved the problem. However, today I discovered that the jobs are overdue and have not been started for several days. When I display the timers with systemctl --user list-timers, I see that the NEXT column is empty::

NEXT LEFT LAST                         PASSED UNIT                  ACTIVATES              
-       - Sun 2026-02-01 20:01:48 CET       - backup.timer  backup.service

Since there is no NEXT date, the timer/service will probably not be restarted. The timer unit looks like this:

[Unit]
Description="Backup to remote"

[Timer]
OnUnitActiveSec=3d
Persistent=true

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

As you can see, I am well over the 3 days. When I call systemctl --user status backup.timer, I get:

● backup.timer - "Backup to remote"
     Loaded: loaded (/home/username/.config/systemd/user/backup.timer; enabled; preset: enabled)
    Drop-In: /home/username/.config/systemd/user/backup.timer.d
     Active: active (elapsed) since Fri 2026-02-13 16:53:31 CET; 7min ago
 Invocation: 95ae3860c50a454b98078fc2ce3eb3c5
    Trigger: n/a
   Triggers: ● backup.service

To me, this looks perfectly “normal.” The only thing that puzzles me is the Active line. Why is the current date (Fri 2026-02-13 16:53:31 CET) set there and not the date on which the job last ran (Sun 2026-02-01 20:01:48 CET)? The NEXT column fills up again when I start systemctl --user restart backup.service. The job is then executed immediately and the column is filled. However, after rebooting the laptop, the column is empty again and the job is no longer started at the given intervals.

Ahh even more possibility’s. Many thx.

OK. I think 7 day was a slightly misleading schedule :-) My bad. But yes, you are right, for 7 days, this will work fine. But i think OnUnitActiveSec=7d is more flexible, when i change this to 12 days, 9 days and so on… I should learn to be more precise in my questions. Sorry.

Shifting the day of the week is totally fine, since i only care about days between the job executions. Many thx, then i try my luck with this.

Good point. Will try that

Hmm this is close enough to mine… Manjaro…

have Arch in parallel boot, but I’m not happy how it works with Steam Games. This is at least for me, a lot better with Manjaro. But anyway, I will compare with Arch settings next time im on it. Tomorrow I have to go to Bangkok for some weeks and can’t use my private laptop for this time.

Strange. I’m on Gnome 47.4. Is this XFCE in your screenshot?

And how could you add a image here? I have tried, but couldn’t find a button to do so.

256x256px. In my eyes, this should be ok.

If you have access to a Roundcube instance, you can try my PrimitiveNotes plug-in, if you want. You can find it at https://codeberg.org/Offerel/Roundcube_Primitivenotes. Maybe this helps to understand, for what and how i use markdown notes. I have absolutely no knowledge about flutter or Android coding, so I can’t help that much.

But I can test and send you a little bit feedback for your app, because I really like your concept so far.

This looks like something usefull. Some observations after first start…

• why does the app requests full file rights, after I selected my local notes folder? If the app has access to that folder (and subfolders), this should be enough.
• for code, examples a code font should be used and not the same font as article text
• i use markdown a lot for code. With this it should be possible to select the whole code block by single click. When using css, this should be possible with > user-select:all
• auto line break should be disabled in the same context. This seems to be already the case for code block but not for single line code
• i would love to see support for yaml. But in the form that i can hide the yaml block
• i think the search feature doesn’t work yet. If I have for example a note with the title Manjaro.md and I type “manjaro”, it isn’t found. The search should also search the text inside the notes or at least the yaml tags (if supported)
• please keep the local folder and don’t invest your resources in a sync mechanism. There are so much possibilities like WebDAV, rsync, SFTP and a lot of clouds. To much to make anyone happy. There are some Android apps which sync such things with an ease.
• I keep my rare images in a hidden subfolder of the notes folder like “.media”. Not only images, also linked PDF and so on. Such images are not displayed. They seems to be not found

I really like the idea of your app. Could be a good companion for my PrimitiveNotes plug-in for Roundcube. Hopefully you find the time to develop it further.

Unfortunately, this version violates the DSGVO by sending telemetry without being asked. This shoots the app directly into out. I hope that the developers have an insight here and remove this function as soon as possible.

Many thx. I really like this app. Keep up the good work!

Maybe you can try to switch your browser to the so called “porn mode” or “private window” and login there. This will decouple your current session and you don’t have to clear the cache. If the community is also visible here, send a mail to the admin and ask for help. He is a nice guy.

Reading about the Gateway error. Have you possibly subscribed to any feddit.de communities? The instance is no longer accessible, not at all on the web, I can’t say what it looks like with the API, but try to remove subscribed feddit.de communities and see if it is better.

I have this effect also sometimes, but not always. It’s also different from client to client. With Thunder on Android it’s most of the time really fast. On the other hand I’m using sometimes Voyager, where it’s a mix between slow and fast. I use the website only in rare case’s. But when I do, it was always fast.

Many thx. This would be fantastic

Is it planned to add this feature in the near future?

Nice test. I like Jerboa, especially the technical implementation. But the Usablity and layout of other apps is much better. That’s why my default client is Thunder.
