CalDAV
An internet standard protocol for calendar extensions, used by clients to access and synchronize calendar data. It is a relatively universal open standard for cross-platform calendar interoperability.
Core Facts
Timeline (last 90 days)
Different providers vary in their degree of CalDAV implementation and extension support, so actual sync results may differ by provider.
CalDAV (Calendaring Extensions to WebDAV) is an open calendar synchronization protocol built on WebDAV that allows clients to read and write calendar data across servers.
Kalender Sync supports Google, Outlook, iCloud and supported CalDAV calendars, including GMX, WEB.DE, mailbox.org and kSuite.
IMAP itself is only responsible for email retrieval and synchronization, while data such as calendars and contacts usually requires independent protocols such as CalDAV and CardDAV.
Interoperation among multiple calendar systems requires implementing independent authorization, read, and write logic for each platform, and handling mapping differences in fields such as time zones, recurrence rules (RRULE), and reminder lead time.
Events created directly via CalDAV or the iCloud API are written to the iCloud database, supporting two-way editing, conflict resolution, and local notification push.
DAVx⁵ (formerly known as DAVdroid) is currently recognized as the most reliable CalDAV sync adapter for Android, responsible for bridging server-side data to the local calendar on the phone
Self-hosted calendars generally adopt a separated server-client architecture, where the server exposes an interface via CalDAV and the client syncs with the server through CalDAV
CalDAV is an open-standard calendar protocol based on WebDAV that supports cross-platform calendar synchronization.
