DAVx⁵ – CalDAV CardDAV WebDAV
How does DAVx⁵ handle two-way sync for calendars and contacts?
DAVx⁵ supports true two-way sync, meaning changes made on your server update on your phone and vice versa instantly. It integrates directly with the default iOS Calendar and Contacts apps, so you don't need to learn a new interface.
Can DAVx⁵ work with self-signed SSL certificates on a home server?
Yes, DAVx⁵ handles self-signed certificates, which is useful if your home server doesn't have a proper SSL cert. Just enter your server URL, username, and password, and the app will figure out the rest.
Why does DAVx⁵ show a generic 'sync error' message, and how can I troubleshoot it?
DAVx⁵ only displays a generic 'sync error' when something goes wrong, which can be frustrating. To troubleshoot, check your server's permissions or logs manually, as the app lacks a detailed error log. You may need to Google specific issues or adjust sync intervals in the submenus.
How do I change the sync frequency in DAVx⁵?
The sync frequency setting is buried in a submenu, so you'll need to navigate through the app's basic interface to find it. Look under account settings or advanced options, and adjust the interval there. If you can't find it, a quick online search for your specific device can help.
How does DAVx⁵ compare to other CalDAV/CardDAV sync apps for self-hosted setups like Nextcloud?
Unlike many alternatives that crash or require constant babysitting, DAVx⁵ is reliable and free with no nagging popups or subscription fees. It handles self-hosted Nextcloud setups easily, offers minimal battery usage (around 2% per day), and supports multiple accounts, though its interface is dated and WebDAV file syncing is limited compared to dedicated file managers.
