Adding an account

Select Tasks settings > Synchronization > Add account > CalDAV and enter the following details:

  • User for authentication with your CalDAV server
  • Password for authentication with your CalDAV server
    • Android 6+: Passwords will be encrypted with the Android KeyStore
    • Android 4 and 5: Passwords will be stored in plain text
  • URL to your CalDAV home set
    • Tasks will follow the ./well-known/caldav redirect for URLs that use SSL. As an example you can enter https://my.owndrive.com and Tasks will find your home set
    • For servers that do not provide a redirect you will need to enter the home set URL yourself. This URL will vary by server, but will look something like https://example.com/remote.php/caldav/calendars/myusername/
  • Let server schedule recurring tasks Some servers, such as mailbox.org, will schedule recurring tasks for you. Enable this option to prevent Tasks from scheduling the next instance of a recurring task
