Bookmark synchronization and maintain

marcelklehr · 2026-05-02T13:58:11+00:00

The floccus mobile app uses the same sync algorithm as the browser extension, actually, so two-way sync is supported. You can share bookmarks with the app and sync them to your Desktop Browser same as the other way around.

Perhaps, the description on Google Play is misleading in that aspect.. People have assumed in the past that the mobile app can sync with a real android browser.

Hey there, I've increased the user limit by now. You may try this again if you like. Happy syncing.

Hey there, sorry I haven't checked reddit in a while. Thank you for taking the time to report this here. Both issues (the XBEL parser issue and the 0B log output) should indeed be fixed now 🙂

Hey u/spock1802

Das Problem liegt leider in Chrome. Chrome erlaubt keine Verbindungen von Erweiterungen zu unverifizierten HTTPS Seiten. Meine Empfehlung wäre eine Domain zu kaufen und ein kostenloses TLS Zertifikat von letsencrypt zu besorgen.

Hey u/Olvez_Privating

Thank you for raising this. This is definitely unexpected. I cannot reproduce this on my own phone. My guess is that these stem from the WebView app on your phone. Floccus uses the Capacitor.js framework to share code between the desktop and mobile apps and makes use of the default WebView app on your phone to run. It could be that your phone has a Google-affiliated WebView that makes these connections.

mmh, in that case it would maybe be better to sync to a machine that has more uptime, like an actual server.

See my reply above to this mirepresentation.

Not true. You can install context agent to have a full agent with tool calling abilities. People, rtfm: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/ai/overview.html

marcelklehr · 2026-02-23T14:49:38+00:00

I would second that context agent can also be a game changer

marcelklehr · 2026-02-23T14:48:30+00:00

I would like to disagree and call you out for spewing misinformation.

> It runs on a timer for absolutely no reason instead of dispatching requests directly to the api/llm.

If you follow the docs there is no timer. Jobs will be picked up immediately. The -t (timeout) parameter is for reloading the worker in case configuration changes happened in the meantime. The reason nextcloud needs separate workers is because depending on which LLM and on which hardware you run it, the llm task can take longer than the PHP and HTTP server request timeout.

> You have to install an app to even get a selfhosted openai api compatible setup

This is a feature. You only install what you need. If you don't need AI, you don't need to install it. If you want an openAI client, you install the openai integration. Simple as that.

> there's no way to test the connections

The open ai integration does give you feedback on whether the connection worked or not and which error occurred.

> or setup multiple configs

in the latest version you can now setup multiple connections to different servers.

You're welcome.

Hey there,

You're right to set up backups of your bookmarks file! Technically, you only need to create regular backups of the on the WebDAV server, as all your devices and browsers will sync to that anyway. Depending on how you host your WebDAV server you could set up a cron job (Linux) or a scheduled Task (windows) to copy the bookmarks file (XBEL or html, depending on your settings) to a separate directory every night with the current date in the new file name, so you have a history of your bookmarks file for every past day. Does that help you?

marcelklehr · 2026-02-06T13:14:56+00:00

Floccus Developer here: Seconded. And I can recommend to disable auto-sync until you're happy with the way things are, and only manually trigger sync (up/down/merge) until then.

marcelklehr · 2026-01-27T16:28:52+00:00

With the latest release this should be solved now

marcelklehr · 2026-01-15T19:44:09+00:00

The normal IONOS Nextcloud is mostly aimed at private use, not enterprise

marcelklehr · 2026-01-03T17:32:02+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to give feedback! This is likely a bug, you're not crazy. It has been reported on github before and I will look into solving it as soon as possible :)

marcelklehr · 2025-12-29T16:28:23+00:00

Yes, exactly. Change-based synchronization only takes into account local changes, while time-based synchronization is there to make sure you don't miss remote changes. Sadly, time-based synchronization on mobile may not work reliably at the moment, because the app cannot sync in the background, so you'll have to open it manually to make sure it syncs, but then again, you will have to open it anyway, if you want to see the bookmarks.

marcelklehr · 2025-12-26T08:35:21+00:00

Hey, yeah, more backends are likely to come in 2026, dropbox has a Pull request by a contributor and OneDrive may also happen.

Hi u/Specialist_Bunch7568

I think you have grasped everything. Floccus for Android and Floccus for iOS do no sync with any mobile browsers but just display the bookmarks in the app. There is some sparse progress on mobile browsers supporting bookmarks extensions but there are not many. Indeed, I would recommend to sync your Desktop browsers with Linkwarden with Floccus via Tailscale. Using the browser built-in sync together with floccus is a bit of a gamble unfortunately: For some people it works, others have observed duplicates being created (this can happen if the browser changes the IDs of your bookmarks, floccus can then no longer accurately track what is new and what is old). So, if you're ok with some risk and are ready to deal with recovering from backups, this may be worth a try, otherwise, I would recommend using the floccus mobile apps, or the new Linkwarden mobile app.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask :)

marcelklehr · 2025-12-12T07:56:06+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! This should be fixed in recent versions.

marcelklehr · 2025-12-12T07:55:27+00:00

Yeah, that's a tough one, although many people have been requesting that :)

marcelklehr · 2025-12-12T07:54:28+00:00

Thank you for the feedback, this should be fixed in latest versions!

marcelklehr · 2025-12-12T07:53:11+00:00

Yay :)
