Ever since I started degoogling my life, i missed how to integrate calendar and tasks in all my devices. Because of my work Im stuck using Macos and I have a debloated samsung device with F-droid. However I need a way of syncing calendars and tasks between Macos and my phone, so I can get push notifications on both of my devices about events and pending tasks, I really need this as i often struggle with ADHD and the only way of getting my tasks done is being very structured with my apps notifying me with the tasks i need to do. Do you guys know what is the best way to implement this using FOSS software?

Radical, Baikal, or NextCloud.

Then sync with your phone via Davx5

If you're willing to self host Nextcloud then that could be a solution.

Currently I use it to sync my calendar on my phone and an instance of MagicMirror2.

You don't necessarily need to self-host Nextcloud for yourself, you can pay a provider to do it for you, of course, at a price, or free but with limitations, like The Good Cloud.

You can also try EteSync.

And in F-Droid there are many apps to integrate your Nextcloud instance with your device, my favorite are Ente (for calendar), Tasks(dot)org and Joplin

Davx⁵ has Mac OS caldav carddav server integration so you can sync with it.

On android you can use simple calendar or etar to view calendars and "tasks" or jtxboard for tasks/journals

etesync looks amazing, it is a shame that it looks a little bit complicated to set up

[-] MiguelParenti@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Its not complicated at all. For one its a paid service so if you can afford it do it. If you wanna do it free you have to host it yourself

  • Get a Calendar app that supports CalDAV, Task app that supports WebDAV.
  • you make calendars and task lists in etesync dashboard
  • copy their links and paste them in the app settings of your calendar and task apps. It also supports cardDAV for contacts

Nextcloud should be good for that. There are a bunch of services which offer a few GB for free, which should be enough for your needs.

I agree that Nextcloud is a great solution. Some other cardDAV and calDAV solutions exist, but Nextcloud provides much more. Here is a little demo of Nextcloud on a handset. https://videos.trom.tf/videos/watch/5fc16e0e-f95f-45a2-9843-37749bf9dada

Does DecSync CC work for you? (org.decsync.cc.apk)

I tried almost every possible solution suggested here, but i couldnt manage to make it work, I'd really like a simple guide on how to set something like this or a self-hosting solution, though i dont even know if i can do that without a server

I have been using simple calendar.
