Is it? I pretty much only use open source stuff and all other proprietary alternatives I know are shitty
(Android) Calendars.
fossify calendar is somewhat great, but it doesn't have support for tasks (except in its own calendars that can't be synced)
And don't get me started on CalDav and trying to selfhost it. Baikal, Radicale.
Actually I think CalDav is the source of all of our problems. At least everyone I know won't touch it with a 2-meter pole.
And the reason why proprietary Calendars are so much better.
From your post I'm not 100% sure what your problem is, but if it is synchronisation with the host you can try DAVx^5^ for that. It's also on the Play Store but costs money there, on F-Droid it's free. It's able to synch Nextcloud tasks.
what? no, I am using davx5, I am syncing my calendars.
but calendars that are synced don't show their tasks in fossify calendar.
and my problem with dav is the servers and their administration. ever tried sharing a calendar in radicale (not supported) or baikal (annoyingly confusing and undocumented)?
Oh ok. Well I'm using Nextcloud-Davx5-Google Calendar/Tasks. And that works for the tasks (through Davx5, I see one normal calendar and one for tasks).
Running a Nextcloud just for tasks/calendar/contacts is possible and should be relatively easy and resource insensitive depending on how you set it up. Sharing through CalDAV/CardDAV with apps is well documented.
But it kind of sounds like the problem might be fossify calendar if you have the tasks in radicale/baikal.
Oh I use proton calendar, which is kind of open source but idk if the server is.
