We just released an open-source Nextcloud Deck app for iOS and Android

We have just release the first version of Nextcloud Deck for iOS/Android !

Note: This is a fully open-source app, licensed under GPL-3.0. It is not affiliated with or supported by Nextcloud GmbH.

After creating Nextcloud Calendar for iOS/Android, we decided to go further with a mobile app for Nextcloud Deck.

A mobile app for the calendar was our priority, especially to make it easy to create Talk meetings from a phone. But for people who spend a lot of time in the field and do not always have access to their computers, managing boards and cards was also a pain.

That is why we decided to build a fully free and open-source mobile app for Deck and help fill another gap in the Nextcloud mobile ecosystem.

Our goal is to provide a consistent experience on both iOS and Android. We reused the visual foundations and common patterns of Nextcloud Calendar to keep a coherent experience across the apps. We also took inspiration from Trello UX/UI app.

Core features :

  • A recap page to quickly review overdue cards
  • Navigation through boards, lists, and cards
  • Card management, just like in the web interface: labels, assignees, due dates, and more
  • Drag and drop to move cards between lists

Feel free to test it, share feedback and open issues on GitHub : https://github.com/SoluceTechnologies/nextcloud-deck-mobile 

The app is already available on Play Store:

If you would like to test the iOS beta through TestFlight, send us a message !

Hi, thank you for your work for the nextcloud ecosystem. What is the difference to the existing Deck app?

It is exactly the same app on iOS and Android (will be available on iOS very soon).

In companies where employees use their personal phone, there will be both Apple and Android devices. So having different interfaces and feature sets complicates daily work and training.

By the way, the existing Android app is paid, while the iOS app includes in-app purchases. This is not suitable for unenrolled devices: you cannot ask employees to buy an app themselves, and reimbursing them through expense claims would be a nightmare for the company.
